Model Schools: Ensuring Student Success

Our school is the heart of the community providing an inclusive environment that values all cultures. We set high expectations for our students and develop learning opportunities based on demonstrated needs. Students are provided with the tools, resources and opportunities they need to participate fully at school and in the community. Teachers work collaboratively in professional Learning teams to set high expectations for students, use data and assessment to guide instruction, provide feedback for students and develop effective lessons and tasks.

Eastview Public School's Mission Statement

Eastview Public School opened in 1955. Additions were built in 1969 and 1973. Our school neighbourhood has a very diverse population with families from all areas of Canada and the world. Eastview has a large Aboriginal community and has been in the forefront of developing Native education programs in an urban setting. TDSB provides busing to students of First Nations background living in the Scarborough area who wish to have Ojibwa language instruction. We endeavour to attain excellence through academic accountability, arts, and athletics. As a Model school with a community partnership focus we offer before and after school options with the Boys and Girls Club of East Scarborough and Native Child and Family Services.

Community Partnerships

We celebrate a strong commitment to life long learning. The school is home to Eastside Daycare through the Boys and Girls Club of East Scarborough. In addition we also have an Aboriginal Head Start program (Waabanong) and a Native Parenting Centre. We include First Nation Elders as a component of our literacy program and encourage participation from a range of parenting partners.

Literacy

Technology

At Eastview, we view 21st Century learning and the use of technology as crucial to preparing our students for the world in which they live. The integration of technology into all subject areas is one of the ways that we keep learning engaging and relevant! Robotics and coding as extra-curricular activities are open to all students.

All of our classrooms are equipped with interactive white-boards, and all students have access to either a laptop, Chromebook or iPad for use in class. In addition to that, our 1:1 program provides every grade 5 student with their own Chromebook to use throughout their time with the TDSB.

Special Education Programs

At Eastview, we strongly believe that every student is capable of success when provided with the proper support. As such, our Special Education programming is offered through an inclusive model that builds on the strengths that each student brings to their classroom.

While offering all students a variety of instructional strategies and assessment options to support their individual needs, additional supports can include Resource Support, access to Assistive Technology and Specialized Services and the creation of an Individual Education Plan.
