Message from the Principal
 To the KDSS HOME & SCHOOL ASSOCIATION,
From the Staff at KDSS:
We would like to express our gratitude for the "Staff Appreciation Lunch" you hosted. Many thanks go out to you, to Coffee Culture who catered the food, and to the many local businesses that provided door prizes - Baxter's Row, Chester's Prints, Coffee Culture and Drs. Bruce, Walden & Hoben.
Staff/Student Hockey Game Cancelled for Friday, February 26, 2010
The Ontario Secondary School Literacy Test (OSSLT) is on Thursday, April 8th during the morning.
The sample test material is a complete test in the same order and with the same instructions as an actual test. The use of this material provides parents, students and educators with a test similar in length and format as the actual administration and illustrates the types of items (questions and prompts) that students will encounter. They have not been used on actual tests, so student work at each score code is not available.

Staying healthy in the Flu Season
Bluewater District School Board is working in partnership with Grey Bruce Public Health to prepare our schools to minimize the risk of exposure and control the spread of H1N1 flu and other influenza-like illness. We are following the Guidelines for the Prevention and Management of Pandemic (H1N1) 2009 in Elementary and Secondary Schools prepared by the Ministry of Health and Long-Term Care and the Ministry of Education. These guidelines are posted to the board website – http://www.bwdsb.on.ca/about_us/H1N1/Updates
Bluewater District School Board is in regular communication with Grey Bruce Public Health. They, in turn, are in regular communication with provincial and federal health authorities.
As a board, we follow the direction of health professionals on this important health issue. If the situation changes, we will make sure that you have the information quickly and accurately. Our priority is to make sure you have the information you need.
Thanks
Deb Kaufman
Principal, K&DSS
Fundscrip 2009
I would like to take this opportunity to thank everyone who has supported Fundsrip this year. Thanks to your efforts we have raised over $8000. With these funds we have been able to support a number of students who were experiencing difficulty paying for school events. In these tough economic times it is even more important to find ways of ensuring that everyone can participate in school events. If you don't already know about Fundscrip, please click here to find
out how you can support our students.
