​Dear Students, Parents, Guardians and Caregivers,

I am thrilled to welcome you all to the start of a new school year at École KLO Middle School. We look forward to welcoming our grade 7’s and those who are new to our KLO community. We are also excited to continue working with our returning KLO students and families.

Throughout the 2026/2027 school year, we will remain focused on our KLO ABC’s – Academic Growth, Belonging and Community.


KLO Cougars foster a culture of Academic Growth, Belonging and Community.

To support this Mission, we will:

● Design student-centered learning experiences that are personalized, challenging and engaging;

● Promote a developmentally responsive learning community that fosters emotional well-being, safety and positive relationships;

● Celebrate KLO's diversity and strengthen our inclusive culture.

At KLO, we will collaborate with our families and community partners to maintain a school environment where students thrive. When we work alongside our KLO learners and families, we anchor our conversations in what it means to be a KLO Cougar. This helps strengthen our school community and develop independent, respectful, resilient and innovative learners who are ready to navigate the next steps in their educational journey.

We continue to seek feedback from KLO families, which helps us celebrate and reflect on what we are doing well. We will also use our community’s feedback to help us improve so that we can provide the best school experience for our students. All voices are important and valued, so please reach out to our team if you have any feedback, or ideas, that you would like to discuss. Another great space to share your voice is at our KLO PAC meetings. Your feedback is invaluable, as we work together to ensure the success of every KLO learner.

I look forward to a year filled with growth, achievement and memorable experiences. GoCougars!


Sincerely,

Nathen Elliott

Principal
