Snacks Resource
The "Everyday Snacks and Drinks" resource replaces the previously school-board approved "Healthy Snacks" resource. It was updated to align with the new Food Guide.

Toronto Public Health staff will distribute these resources to schools based on needs identified in consultation with the school staff, i.e. teacher, administrator, or sometimes a parent council member.
                                                                                                                              


                                                                                                                               
Portuguese Speaking Heritage Month at the TDSB:  T-Shirt Design Challenge

The Toronto District School Board is proud to recognize June as Portuguese Speaking Heritage Month.  During this month, the TDSB students, staff and community members will be provided with opportunities to learn about their vibrant culture and traditions, and also gain a better understanding of the Portuguese-speaking diaspora.  

Students from grades 1 – 12 are invited to participate in a T-Shirt Design Challenge.   The selected design will become the official T-shirt for the 2019 Portuguese Heritage Parade in June and the student will receive a $75.00 Gift Card.    

For those students who plan on submitting an original hard copy.  Please mail or deliver it to: Dani Carnevale, Service Coordinator, TDSB, 5050 Yonge Street, Toronto, ON, M2N 4N8.

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.
