We are honoured and
excited to welcome back our new and returning parents and students to King City
Public School for the new year 2024. Each year holds such
promise for our students as we embark on another year of academic exploration and
activities that support student achievement.
King City Public School has
a long-standing tradition of excellence
in academics, athletics and the arts as well as strong community
involvement. With our
dynamic and dedicated staff, we will continue to build our cooperative
partnerships between child, parents and teachers.
At King
City Public School we are committed to preparing our students for the future in an inclusive and welcoming environment. We continue to explore the most effective
strategies to guide our students in Literacy and Mathematics, while
incorporating digital tools that enhance learning. We aim to utilize
these strategies in a supportive and caring environment to help our students maintain
strong mental health and develop coping strategies as the demands of our world
continue to increase. Together with our
home and school partnership, we can support our students as they navigate
through a world with endless possibilities.
We look
forward to working together with our families and community to provide an
excellent education experience for all our student. Be sure to visit our EDSBY River of News to keep up to date on the latest news from the school.

Land Acknowledgement
We acknowledge that we are on the traditional territories of the Wendat, the
Haudenosaunee, and the Anishinaabe peoples, whose presence here continues to this day. We also would like
to acknowledge that this is the treaty lands of the Mississaugas of the Credit and thank them and other
Indigenous peoples for sharing this land with us. We would also like to acknowledge the Chippewas of
Georgina Island First Nation as our closest Indigenous community and our partners in education.
We acknowledge this land and the people because the first step to reconciliation is recognizing the existence of
Indigenous people. The Truth and Reconciliation Commission of Canada Calls to Action (numbers 62-63)
speak to the significance of education as the key to reconciliation. A shared understanding of how our
collective past brought us to where we are today will help us walk together into a better future.
