Dear Markham Gateway Families,

Welcome to our wonderful school. Our school is committed to continuous improvement in student achievement and well-being for all of our students, who demonstrate a love and passion for learning.  Through our ongoing work as a collaborative and caring staff, we deliver quality programming and experiences to support our students’ growth and development as learners. One aspect of this collaboration is our ongoing job-embedded professional development for our staff to ensure that we are integrating 21^st century learning skills within our classrooms. We also value the contributions and support our families provide to support their children as life-long learners, and welcome parents as volunteers within our school or by participating in our monthly Parent Council meetings.

At Markham Gateway Public School, we support our earliest learners with our Parent Family Literacy Centre, which offers enriching opportunities for families to engage in school-focused activities for children ages 0 – 6 years, as well as offering the Full Day Kindergarten program. An enriching school life is an important aspect of coming to school, and we provide a wide range of sports, clubs and extra-curriculars to engage our students throughout the year. With our community partners, we also offer after school supports in the form of homework and activity clubs, and a daily healthy snack program.

I look forward to meeting you and share your hopes and dreams for your child’s education at Markham Gateway P.S.

Welcome,

Gary Young
