Moving Out of Owen for September 2022?
As we are beginning the process for next year please let us know if your child will be moving to another school. We want to make sure their Ontario Student Records or any other important information gets forwarded to their new school. 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.

Pizza Lunch (April 2022 - June 2022)
As part of our school fundraising initiatives, the Owen Parent Council is once again organizing pizza lunches for students. We provide Cheese Pizza and a 100% fruit juice box.
Pizza Lunch A: One slice cheese pizza & one drink - ($5.50 x 10) = $55.00
Pizza Lunch B: Two slices cheese pizza & one drink - ($6.75 x 10) = $67.50
This year we are happy to announce we will be having pizza lunch on the following dates. The dates for April to June are as follows:
Lunches must be paid in one payment for the period online on the School Cash Website https://tdsb.schoolcashonline.com
If you require financial assistance, please speak with your child’s teacher, or send an email to caroline.rosenbloom@tdsb.on.ca.
Volunteers are needed on each pizza lunch day from 11:15am to 12:00pm. Please consider signing up to help oversee a grade of your choice. If you would like to help, please contact the Pizza Lunch Coordinators.
All Pizza Orders MUST be in by Monday April 11th, 2022
**Please note: you can NOT order pizza the day of pizza lunch because we place the order well in advance.
If you have any questions, please contact Pizza Lunch Coordinator Mike at owenpizzalunch@outlook.com
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!

Pick up After School
- Book appointments during lunch or after school or before school begins.
- Send an email to owenps@tdsb.on.ca and your classroom teacher notifying when your child is signing out.
- Sign out your child by 3:00 pm so the last period is not disrupted.
- Parents coming after 3:15 pm will be asked to wait until the 3:40 pm bell and to meet their child at their classroom door. With bus, daycare pick up and classroom pick up it gets very busy and we want to make sure students know exactly where to go at the end of the day.
