What's New May 12, 2012 Congratulations to the members of Castlefrank's CLIK (Changing Lives in Kenya). Today's garage sale at the front of the school was an incredible success. Dozens of Castlefrank community members participated in the event, which brought in over $900 in profits. All funds raised by this event will go towards CLIK's goal of purchasing a well for a village in Kenya. Thank you to everyone who donated their time, energy, and/or cleaned out their basement to support this endeavour!
May 10, 2012 Summer School registration is now open for Grade 7, 8 and 9 Math and English. Please see your child's homeroom teacher or contact Mr. Canham for details.
May 7-12 is Education Week in Ontario! We hope that you can join us for our Open House on May 12th.
May 6, 2012 Kanata Accommodations Decision is Finalized! After nearly a year and a half of discussion, consultation, and healthy debate, on December 15, 2011 the members of the Kanata South ARC presented their recommendations for Castlefrank and six other schools south of the 417 to the Ottawa-Carleton District School Board’s Trustees. On January 31, 2012, the staff from the OCDSB’s Planning Department submitted their own recommendations to the trustees for consideration. On Tuesday, April 24th OCDSB Trustees voted on the Kanata South Accommodation Plan.
For the 2012-2013 school year, all the current grades - JK to 8, regular English program - will remain in place. Early French immersion at the SK level only will be added to our school. For all of our current SK to grade 8 students, there will be no change.
Starting in the 2013-2014 school year, Castlefrank Elementary School will offer JK to grade 3 regular program, and SK to grade 3 early French immersion program. Katimavik Elementary School will offer grades 4 to 8 regular program and early French immersion program for students in our area. This means that at the end of the next school year, students in grades 3 to 7 will move to Katimavik for grades 4 to 8 in the 2013-2014 school year. Grade 8 graduating students would move on to high school as usual.
