Greetings Kilmer Community,

Hello Everyone,


The month of May will have plenty of student activities beginning with MayPole Dance Team and Royal Party performances on Sunday, Mini Rapids tournament next week and KONA Shaved Ice Truck next Thursday. The month concludes with Track Meet, Parent Appreciation Tea and KPAC Fun Fair.


KPAC Meeting

The KPAC Annual General Meeting is this Monday evening. The new executive will be elected and upcoming year's budget discussed. Please join us in the Library at 6:30pm.


Emergency Release Day

The School District Emergency Release Day is coming up on May 14th at 2pm. We are practising the drill to see how efficiently we can organize release of students in a real emergency and to learn what we can do to improve. We appreciate your efforts to practise with us.


- At 2pm all classes will evacuate the building to line up in classes at the top field. Everyone will have their jacket, outside shoes and back packs with them during the drill.

- At approximately 2:10pm, after we have taken attendance for the drill, students will remain in their class line ups and we will begin releasing students to their parents OR whoever is there to pick them up. The person picking up must be listed on the Emergency Release Form. Classroom teachers have a copy of the release form at their line ups AND the office also has the forms at the front.

- We anticipate most students will be picked up from the line ups prior to the bell ringing at the usual end of day which is 2:33pm.



Classes for 2026-2027

As we begin to approach the end of the year, planning for next year is starting. Planning and building classes are very comprehensive activities and something we spend a lot of time on at École Kilmer Elementary. We will begin with teachers individually looking at all students learning needs and peer relationships. Once this process is completed, we begin to look at building classes with respect to balancing learning and social-emotional needs and doing our best for each of our students and taking into consideration the rules for class size and composition. If there are specific learning or peer issues that you would like the school to know of, please feel free to write or email Mrs. Roberts a letter and she will include it as a part of the deliberations into our class building process. Specific teacher requests will not be considered in our class building.



À bientôt,


Theresa Roberts, Principal
