School Messenger is the Parent Portal for reporting your student's absences from school.

The link to School Messenger can be found on the Kenner website on the right hand side under "School Events" half way down under the calendar dates. (Beside the Edsby Icon)

You may enter a student absence 24 hours a day.  

This portal is the preferred method of reporting student absences, however, if you experience any difficulty with this reporting process, you can always contact the school and leave a message in the general mailbox.

What is SchoolMessenger?

How do I sign up for SchoolMessenger?

Signing up is easy. Before you begin, you'll need to confirm that your school or district is using SchoolMessenger. Once you've done that, you can create an account using the main email address your school or district has on file for you. Just follow these three steps:

1. Click “Sign up” at the top of the page, or download the SchoolMessenger App from the Apple App Store or Google Play.
2. Enter your email address and create a password. You’ll need to verify that email before proceeding.
3. After authenticating via your email, return to SchoolMessenger and sign in using the email and password you just verified.

It's that easy!

After successfully logging in with a verified email, you should expect to see any messages that you’ve recently received for any Contacts - student, staff, and/or guardian records - associated with your account email address. You can navigate through your district-enabled options by using the site navigation menu.

Dear Kenner Collegiate Vocational Institute and Intermediate School Families, 

As always, the well-being of our students and staff is our top priority. With that in mind, we were informed today by Peterborough Public Health (PPH) of one confirmed case of COVID-19 at our secondary school. This individual will remain at home until the Health Unit advises they may return to school. The identity of this individual is protected by privacy legislation and cannot be shared. We wish them a full and speedy recovery.

As part of their investigation, the health unit has determined that this individual was not at school while they were infectious. As a result, the health unit has confirmed that there is no additional risk to our students or staff.

We appreciate that this news may be concerning for our students, staff and parents, and we want to assure everyone that we continue to work closely with Peterborough Public Health to respond to this issue. 

In addition to our daily pandemic cleaning protocols, which include increased cleaning and disinfecting of high touch surfaces, and thorough cleanings in the evenings, KPR schools are regularly disinfected on a rotating basis with an electro-static sprayer. The Clorox Total 360 System is approved for use against the virus that causes COVID-19; it kills cold and flu viruses, MRSA and norovirus in two minutes or less, kills 99.9% of bacteria in five seconds and can even sanitize soft surfaces. It has been used effectively in schools and other education settings for several years.   

Our school will be disinfected by the electro-static sprayer tonight.

To protect yourselves, your children and the community, PPH  recommends that you stay home if you are sick or if anyone in your household has COVID-19 symptoms or is waiting for COVID-19 test results after experiencing symptoms; complete daily self-screening; continue to physically distance from others as much as possible; wear a mask when indoors, on a bus, or when you cannot maintain a two metre distance outside; clean hands often with soap and water or hand sanitizer; cough and sneeze into your sleeve; avoid touching your face; avoiding sharing personal items with others; and avoid close contact with anyone who is ill. For more information regarding COVID-19 visit https://www.peterboroughpublichealth.ca

We will continue to follow all health recommendations, and take any other steps directed by the health unit. If you would like further information on the Kawartha Pine Ridge District School Board’s COVID-19 protocols, please visit http://kprschools.ca/en/COVID-19.html

For information in different languages, please visit Multilingual COVID-19 Resources | Public Health Ontario

We will continue to let families know of any further developments.  Should you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact us.  

Sincerely

Jennifer Knox
Principal
