WELCOME TO ASSIKINACK PUBLIC SCHOOL


 

Dear Students and Parents:

 
On behalf of the staff, I welcome you to the 2008 / 2009 school year. We are looking forward to your partnership to provide exciting opportunities for academic, social, and emotional growth for all our students.
We encourage our students to be the best that they can be by nurturing their self-esteem and motivating them to achieve high academic standards. At Assikinack Public School, one of our roles is to help students to, “know the good, love the good, and do the good”. The Assikinack Way is foundational to our efforts to develop the minds and the hearts of our students and also serves as the foundation of our discipline policy and respectful behavior expectations…Treating other people that way that you want to be treated!
We are very proud of our school and believe that Assikinack is a special place – a family away from home! For the children, it is a place to grow intellectually, nurture friendships, and experience new and exciting learning opportunities. For the parents, Assikinack is a place to share in their children’s successes, to support the learning and social climate of the school, to participate in the process and direction of education in the school, and to enjoy the excitement and wonder of watching their children develop and grow. For the staff, the school is a place to facilitate and nurture a love of life long learning for each child, to grow as educators, to partner with parents in understanding their children and their children’s unique needs; and to enjoy the beautiful and rewarding experience of being part of the blossoming of each child entrusted in their care.

Assikinack Public School is a dynamic entity that is constantly learning and growing to better support and nurture your children and I am privileged to be the Principal of the Assikinack staff team!

Sincerely,

S. Finlayson
