Principal's Message
Dear DRK Families,
With just two weeks until Spring Break, there is a noticeable spring energy in the building. Even after a mild winter, this season brings a sense of new growth and fresh momentum for our learners.
Written Learning Updates will be published digitally next week. Families can access them through the Parent Portal and are encouraged to review progress together at home. Students also have access through the Student Portal, supporting ownership of their learning. If you experience any difficulty logging in, our office team is happy to assist with troubleshooting.
Course requests for next year are also underway, and it is exciting to see students thinking ahead about their interests and goals. Your guidance in these conversations is appreciated.
Thank you for your continued partnership.
All my best,
Nina Ferguson
