Mayor For a Day

Students at JHKPS participated in an engaging presentation about their local township and the role of a mayor, which brought Social Studies to life. They were then challenged by the Mayor of Matheson and Executive Assistant Allana Schmidt to share what changes they would make as Mayor for a Day, and Teaghan, a Grade 6 student, was selected as the winner and earned the opportunity to serve in that role.

2026-2027 School Year Calendar

We are happy to share the 2026-2027 school year calendar, which was created in collaboration with coterminous boards and informed by families and staff.

We look forward to welcoming students to their first day of the 2026-2027 school year on Tuesday, September 1, 2026.
