Rockland Public School - UCDSB

Principal Walker is working on her first RKPS Family Newsletter of the year and updating our RKPS Family Handbook — and your voice matters! We want to know:

What would be helpful? What information, resources, or supports would make a difference for your family?

We know that strong family-school partnerships can improve student achievement, boost attendance, and support future graduation success.

Our first RKPS Family Newsletter comes out Monday, August 24th! Family engagement matters and together, we can make this an amazing year for every child! 💙

Happy Canada Day!

Mme Embree’s class visited the Rockland Soup Kitchen to see community care in action. A volunteer‑run space offering free Thursday lunches, it left students inspired—and full of spaghetti and ice‑cream.

Elyana summed it up best: “How do they pay for everything if it’s free?” Check out La Soupière de Rockland to learn more about their mission: https://newbeginning-church.com/rockland-soup-kitchen-la-soupiere-de-rockland/.

Happy Canada Day and happy last day of school from Rockland Public School! Wishing all our families a safe, joyful summer. See you in September! 🇨🇦☀️
