Parent and Family Weekly Update 

June 1 - 5 2026

Featured in this weeks newsletter is the grade 6 mural art workshop with our mural artist, Matty Kakes. This was a fun project that many of our grade 6 students chose to participate in as a preview to the upcoming mural project this summer. Thanks to our PAC for spearheading this! 

It’s hard to believe that we are already entering into the first week of June! 

This week at Brent Kennedy, we concluded our swimming lessons for grades 2- 6 and welcomed our incoming kindergarten students with the annual “Welcome to Kindergarten” event. 

Announcements for Families: 

Plans for next year 

As we are in the process of planning for September 2026, please let us know if your child will be transferring to another school or not returning in the fall. 

Mural Project – Summer 2026

Two school murals have been approved for installation during the summer months (July/August 2026). The murals have been designed by a local artist and parent of Brent Kennedy. 

• The first mural will depict an artistic representation of the “BK PATH”, which has been a school culture focus for us this year. As, you may have read in previous newsletters or heard from your child, the BK PATH stands for : Peacefulness, Accountability, Thoughtfulness and Humility. This mural will also include a student participation component to be completed in September 2026.
• The second mural will be a colorful representative of Brent Kennedy, which will include local wildlife. 

The artist will be delivering a presentation to all students at the May Celebration assembly in advance of the mural installation over the summer. 

After School Plans

• Please make after school plans with your child prior to them leaving for school so that they know where they are going at dismissal.  This may include play dates, extracurricular activities and alternative pick up arrangements. 

• Avoiding last minute changes after the start of the school day ensures student safety by avoiding the risk of confusion, missed communication, and unsafe situations. 

Thanks for your team work on this!

Announcements for Students:

• Grade 5/6 Basketball Team Practice Tuesday and Thursday at long recess
• Intermediate Hockey on Monday and Wednesday’s at recess

• Grade 2,3,4 Soccer on Friday’s at recess
