It is amazing what a difference the sunshine and a few extra degrees of temperature can make in one’s outlook and energy level! It is also glorious to see everything green and growing. The next nine weeks of school promise to be very eventful ones, with many trips, projects and activities occurring around the school and in every class and grade. We look forward to all of them!
Click here to view the May newsletter (pdf)James McQueen Public School is a place, where children come first. Our motto is "Together, Making A Difference ... One Student At A Time". Our mission is to ensure that students are challenged to reach their potential and develop leadership and good citizenship through teamwork. We encourage and nurture a passion for learning in an environment of mutual trust and respect that values each individual’s needs and talents. We celebrate the diversity and differences of our students’ heritage and family life paths and live according to "The Golden Rule", treating others as we wish to be treated.
Members of the James McQueen Public School community enjoy a rich academic and arts heritage celebrated through our diverse vocal, instrumental and integrated scholastic programs in both official languages of our country. In a spirit of constructive self expression and academic excellence honouring our patron James McQueen, first schoolmaster in Fergus and once known as "the best educated man north of the Niagara River", our students explore many opportunities to express their learning, discoveries and understanding in a variety of media, venues and modes of communication.
We welcome and encourage the participation of our community, according to the principle "together we’re better". Please join us in making our community and world a better place!
