Grade 4 Blanket Ceremony
This week we had Oscar Peterson's Got Talent! Our intermediate band performed two songs called, Nautilus and Magellan. They played their hearts out and did amazing! The junior intermediate choir also performed 2 beautiful songs on Wednesday! We also had many of our talented students show us their special skills! It was a night full of creativity and fun! On May, 6th, the grade eights are going on a trip to the Skills and Trade Show in Toronto. They will spend the day learning about several different career choices through hands on workshops and fun booths. There will be several colleges, universities, and companies there. Oscar Peterson is starting their first running club! Mr.Izzo has started a club for grades 4 to 8 to increase their stamina and become a faster runner! Club meetings are during lunch on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays. The club will end right after track and field. We hope to see your child there! On Wednesday we remembered Jaylen Williams, who would have been in grade eight this year. He passed away due to cancer when he was in grade five. Wednesday was the three year anniversary of his passing. He was an incredible student and friend to everybody, and we all miss him very much.
Our Grade 7 & 8 students have been working diligently in Science to complete Insulation and Hydraulic Projects. Here is a sampling of the amazing work submitted by our students.
OSCAR PETERSON: STUDENT NEWS: 05/06/19
As we create our classes for next year, our staff will make every effort to place students in the best learning environment for each student to be successful. We take into account individual needs, academic achievement, emotional and social development, number of boys and girls in each class, and work habits. If parents would like to provide input into this process for their child(ren), we ask that you please submit this input in writing to Mr. Shabbar and Ms. Legros by May 24, 2019. We ask that you please ensure a copy is sent to your child’s present classroom teacher. The school does not accept requests for specific teachers. While your input is carefully considered, the final decision about the students’ class placement rests with the school. Our Class Organization for the 2019-2020 school year is included below:

The York Region District School Board will once again be offering a Grade 6, 7 & 8 Summer School program. This 14 day program is designed to reinforce curriculum. Students must register in the program for their current school grade as this is not an acceleration program. For example, a grade 7 student would register for the grade 7 program as it reinforces grade 7 content.
The program will operate from July 2 to July 19, 2019 (8:45 am - 3:25 pm). Please note that Keswick H.S. times are 8:45 am - 3:33 pm. A typical day has Language and Numeracy instruction in the morning with Arts based programming in the afternoon. There are both lunch and recess breaks during the day. Students will need to bring a lunch, snacks and plenty to drink each day.
The following programs will be offered:
• Language and Math reinforcement for students who do not have an Individual Education Plan (IEP) or an English Language Learner (ELL) designation.
• Language and Math reinforcement for students with an Individual Education Plan (IEP). • English Language Learner (ELL) Language for students who are ELL Stage 1 or 2 learners. The focus is
on reading, writing and speaking.
