Thank you to our wonderful staff and students who did such a fantastic job at our Kindergarten Concert on Thursday. Amazing work and incredible decorations!
Graduation Fundraiser!
The grade 5 English students will be holding a fundraiser
for their graduation. On Thursday May 2, they will be selling their
handmade crafts (various prices) as well as ring pops and sour keys for
$1.
We are looking for more parent volunteers for our next Pizza Day as we only have 2 volunteers! We particularly need kindergarten parents as we don’t have enough Gr 5 helpers. If you are able to help out, please email Mike at owenpizzalunch@outlook.com .
Returning to Owen?
If you are moving to another school and will not be returning to Owen in September 2019, please let us know as this is helpful when we create our classes for next year. Please click on the link if you are not returning. http://bit.ly/ReturningToOwen

Traffic Safety & Parking
This is a friendly reminder that there is absolutely NO PARKING in the circular driveways at Owen PS. The front loop is for quick drop off and the back driveway is for buses only. Thanks to our amazing volunteers who keep our children safe each morning! The safety of Owen students is our first priority.
ONLINE REPORTING
If we have a license plate and/or description of the driver we can lay charges for moving violations, if the complainant is willing to go to court and can identify the driver.
If the complainant is not willing to go to court, we will send a letter to the registered owner about traffic safety.
