Dear Owen Parents/Guardians,
I hope you enjoyed the weekend full of family time.
I would like to let you know that I will be on a medical leave for heart surgery and will need the next couple of months to recuperate with the support of my family. This was quite unexpected but I have a great support team along my side.
I would like to introduce Sima Naymark who will be taking over as Acting Principal to support our amazing Owen community. I know our students, staff and parents will welcome her and help her get to know Owen.
I wish you all the best as you continue with the rest of the school year and know our Owen staff will be there to make it great as always!
If you have any questions, please contact Sima or Jamie.
See you in September!
~Caroline

If students are moving out of the province, their Ontario Student Records stay at Owen and can be retrieved if they return to Ontario.
Grade 5 students graduating will also need to complete this form by Monday April 18th as schools will begin creating class lists for next year.

Want to Volunteer? Police Check Required
If you have already done a police check please see Ms Nahid in person in the office to do your annual declaration.
If you have not done one, please pick up a police check form from the office or download the police check form. It requires an office staff to witness it. Please bring this to the office ASAP if you would like to volunteer. It does take several weeks so please start this process early so you won't be disappointed!
