Hello everyone,

As we start to prepare for next year, we’d like to collect information to help us with the planning.

If you are NOT returning to Owen PS for September 2018, please fill out the following information below.  This is also helpful for us to transfer Ontario Student Records (OSR) and specialized equipment to the appropriate schools.

Traffic Safety & Parking

This is just a friendly reminder that there is absolutely NO PARKING in the circular driveway at Owen PS.

The safety of Owen students is our first priority. Please respect our regulations. Everyone has a busy life and extenuating circumstances. Please plan accordingly to ensure all of our students arrive safely and ready for learning. Thank you for your consideration and continued support - especially our fantastic parent volunteers in the morning!
