Parent and Family Weekly Update 

November 10-14 2025

Wishing our families a great weekend!

We are so proud of all of our Brent Kennedy students who are doing fabulous work in demonstrating the values of the BKE PATH – Peacefulness, Accountability, Thoughtfulness, Humility. 

During this month of November, we focus in a special way on the value of PEACE and how it relates to our school context as well as in relation to Remembrance Day coming up next week. This first value of the BKE PATH will be highlighted during our Remembrance Day Assembly and again at our November Celebration Assembly with reflection on what it means to create peace within ourselves, our classrooms, and our community. 

We will be holding our annual Remembrance Day Assembly on Monday November 10 at 9:30 a.m., ahead of the November 11, in which classes are not in session. 

Please take note of the virtual PAC meeting option, if you would like to join online at 5:30 pm on November 10 (see link below).
