The October holiday was a much needed break for us all. After a few month of remote learning, the KIS students, parents, and teachers were all tired and in need of some serious relaxation. I therefore hope that you were all able to make the most of this past week!
The idea of returning to remote learning after a week off, might be putting some of your children ‘off’. They know what it’s like, and so they know what’s ahead of them. You might therefore consider looking into some of the resource links below, as they can provide you with ideas of reengaging your child- and helping them to start the term positively.

Please know that it is perfectly normal for your child, or you, to feel exhausted or frustrated with the current situation. If you feel like your child could benefit from some counseling support, please do not hesitate to reach out to your child’s homeroom teacher, Mr. Gerry, or myself.
We are all here to support.
Take care,
Ms. Alex
