ABOUT KEEWATIN PUBLIC SCHOOL
Keewatin Public School is a JK – Grade 6 School located in the vibrant community of Keewatin and within walking distance of Darlington Bay and beautiful Keewatin Beach.
Facility
The present school was opened September 1959. In 2002-2003, the front foyer and gym area were renovated. Now, on 3 floors the school houses 8 classrooms, JK-Gr 6, a library, special education room and gym. Currently, KPS is under construction and soon will feature a new fully-equipped kitchen, staff room, accessible washroom and meeting room. We also have a KDSB run daycare housed in the building that has access to the gym and library during colder months.
Parents and the Community
Parents are an important part of Keewatin Public School’s equation for success. They are made to feel welcome in the school, encouraged to participate and volunteer in the classrooms as their schedules permit, and are involved in decision making at an individual level and at a broader school level.
A strong supportive, active core of parents works diligently through the School Council to provide students with opportunities to learn in a positive environment. This group purchased cross country skis, play equipment for each classroom, team T-Shirts, basketball uniforms, a ball pump and a shade tent for Track and Field Events. They also provide additional support to programs like swimming and Artsploration.
