OUR SCHOOL
Osgoode Public School offers a
JK to grade 6 English program that is proud of its dedication to
students, its priority on teamwork, the involvement of parents, and
strong community support. Starting in September 2009, Early French
Immersion has become available to students. In September 2010, OPS will
offer Early French Immersion kindergarten and grade one. The program
will be expanded by one grade per year until grade 6 when French
Immersion students will feed into Castor Valley for grades 7 and 8.
The school, located at
5590
Osgoode Main Street, is a big part of the
streetscape in the village of Osgoode, Ontario. It serves a community
that is a blend of old / new, rural, village and riverfront
development. The mission of the school is to provide to our students an
academic program of the highest quality in a warm and caring setting.
Osgoode P.S. has an enrolment
of 175 students who are actively engaged in their learning. When our
students graduate from the grade 6 English program, they attend Metcalfe
P.S.
Osgoode PS has highly motivated
teachers on staff, assisted by 2 excellent Educational Assistants. The
office is competently run by our hard working Office Administrator, Mrs.
Barbara Hunter. She is assisted by Mrs. Judy Milley who works part
time. The school library is open for book exchanges on Tuesdays and
Thursdays when our library technician, Mrs. Linda Edwards is working.
We have devoted volunteers who keep the library well organized on a
regular basis. Our Chief Custodian, Mr. Luc Champagne, takes great
pride in keeping OPS spotless and well maintained. Osgoode PS has
access to OCDSB support services in Speech and Language, Occupational
and Physical Therapy, Social Work and Psychology.
We are proud of the warm and
caring family atmosphere in the school with special attention paid to
the individual needs of each child. Our staff is building a strong
professional learning community by continually upgrading our training
and learning/sharing with each other. |
