More Information about Denlow Public School
Academic Excellence
Over the years, Denlow Public School has been recognized for
a Fraser Institute Award for Excellence in Education. Our students
score very well on the EQAO tests in both literacy and numeracy.
Such success can be attributed to the continual hard work of
students and staff and the partnership with our parents.
Student Leadership
At Denlow Public School, we believe that student leadership is
critical. Student leadership opportunities such as safety patrollers,
ambassadors, DPA leaders, morning announcers, ecoschool reps,
library monitors, etc., are a few examples of what we offer to turn all
of our students into great leaders. Our ecoschool team helped lead
Denlow to GOLD status.
Citizenship
Denlow promotes good citizenship, sharing and caring through a
variety of community outreach projects. Students take part in a Fall
and Spring Food Drive, Kid Like Me Campaign, Aim for Seva, Pass
It Along, Jump Rope for Heart, and the Terry Fox Run. Students
also assisted with fundraising for Haiti, Japan, and East Africa.
Athletics and Clubs
Students are given many opportunities to participate in a variety of
athletic teams like cross-country, track and field, volleyball, and
soccer. Students also enjoy participating in a variety of clubs
like choir, run club, jump rope, library monitors, robotics, silver birch,
kids' lit quiz, and ecoschool reps.

Student Life - Where You Belong
At Denlow, we believe that a positive school culture is an
important criteria for an effective learning environment. We
have embraced the Ministry's Character
Education development initiative and have infused it into the
life of the school. The school focuses on TDSB attributes
monthly, through morning announcements, poster contests,
bulletin boards, and assemblies.
We provide learning experiences which help students
become well-rounded learners for life. Learning instruction
includes a full-time music teacher, a health and physical
education teacher, and a teacher librarian. Other learning
experiences include class trips and school-wide
performances.
Our extra-curricular activities offer additional opportunities
that meet the many interests of our students. We also value
the importance of daily physical activity and encourage our
students to utilize all aspects of our playground. We are a
Toronto Schools on the Move school.
As we understand the value a healthy diet plays in learning,
we offer a daily milk program and students have access to
a lunch program. We also encourage parents to send
snacks and lunches that follow the Healthy Food Guide.
What Sets Us Apart
At Denlow, our focus is on the learning of our students. Staff
collaborate to develop strong literacy and numeracy based
programs for our students. Ongoing staff development
(Teaching Learning Critical Pathways) in literacy and
numeracy instruction and a collaborative staff culture lead to
an aligned curriculum and rich programming in our
classrooms. Staff meet on a regular basis to plan and jointly
assess student work.
Staff work to develop a partnership with parents in order to
support the learning of our students. We focus on
identifying students' strengths and needs and providing
appropriate support to help them succeed.
Parent and Community Engagement
Denlow's School Council provides dynamic program support and
fundraising activities to enhance the education of our students as
well as extend school spirit and citizenship.
Parent volunteers assist in classrooms with Scientist in Schools,
field trips, and more. They assist with special citizenship
events like fundraising for Haiti, Japan, and East Africa; donations to
TDSB Schools; Pass it Along; and Kid Like Me Campaign. They
organize spirit events like the Welcome Back BBQ, Halloween
Bingo, Fun Fair, and more. They are actively involved in safety
initiatives like School Code of Conduct, Safe Schools
Committee and our Safe Arrival program.
Collaboration with community partnerships include: Faculties of
Education, International Language Programs, Metropolitan Toronto
Police programs for elementary students, York Mills CI Co-op
students, Tutors in the Classroom, and more.
TDSB - Better Schools. Brighter Futures
Imagine a TDSB where all schools share a common core set of characteristics. They are
community-driven and focused on teaching and learning. Students and parents have a wide variety of
opportunities and there are enough students in every school to increase program choices.
Imagine there is a clear focus on achieving student success and every student is engaged, has a voice,
access to a caring adult and the opportunity to develop their full potential.
Here at the TDSB our focus is on student achievement, parent and community engagement and financial
stability.
