This message is to update you on the situation that occurred in our community yesterday. While we’re relieved this particular incident appears to be unfounded, it is always a good idea to review safety tips with our children.

It was reported that:
Investigators have determined that the information reported to police is unfounded.
Constable Tony Vella, Public Information, for Detective Scott McKay, 32 Division
Late yesterday, Toronto Police issued an alert about an incident that was reported to have happened in the area of Yonge Boulevard and Wilson Avenue on Monday, April 26 (see attached). While this incident does not involve our school, we encourage anyone who might have information to contact police at the numbers listed on the alert.
As you know, we are fortunate to have a number of safety initiatives at our school and numerous programs and policies that contribute to a safe learning environment. However, most incidents happen away from school. I want to emphasize to all our students, staff, and parents the importance of awareness and the need for extra care in even the most ordinary and everyday routines, no matter where you are.
Our staff regularly speak to students about how to stay safe. I know that you too will want to help ensure our community is as safe as possible. Attached, please find
Streetproofing Tips that you may find helpful when discussing safety with your child.
If you have any questions, please feel free to comment below or to contact the school at 416-395-3090.
Several Armour Heights parents had a discussion with Officer Scott Kingdon, 32 Division last night, who was parked outside of a home at Esgore, close to Yonge Blvd. Officer Kingdon asked them to help spread this urgent message throughout our neighbourhood. Read the rest of this entry »
Looking for something musical to do this summer? Love playing the instrument you play in school?
Keep up your playing skills, make some friends, and have some fun at the SUMMER SOUNDS music camp. Summer Sounds runs weekday mornings from 8:30 – 12:30 at York Mills CI. There are lots of opportunities for the students to learn new things and to try new instruments.
Have a look at Music Camps for all the information
We thought you’d be interested in this letter from the TDSB Superintendant of Education about an article in the Toronto Star yesterday. Right name, wrong picture!
The photo published of Mr. Andrew Howard was done in error by the newspaper. As many of you know, Mr. Howard is an outstanding Principal who has never been the Principal at Owen Public School.
Our Communications and Public Affairs Office has contacted the Toronto Star to ensure this misidentification is retracted and a correction notice is published in tomorrow’s edition of the paper.
Sincerely,
Johanne Messner,
Superintendent of Education
