Portage Trail Community School's Mission Statement
Portage Trail Community School is a JK to Grade 8 school, which opened on September 7, 1999. It is named for its proximity to an old portage point on the Humber River.
Our school is located in a new subdivision just off Weston Rd. near Jane St. in the former City of York. The over 600 children who attend Portage Trail are from diverse cultures, races and ethnic backgrounds, who require English as a Second Language support. In 2003, we implemented school uniforms under the direction and organization of our School Advisory Council and the students wear their uniforms (white shirts with school crest and black pants, skirts or shorts) with great pride. Children in Gr. 1-8 must wear one uniform piece with the school logo visible.
Portage Trail Community School shares is a JK-Grade 8 facility. There are many benefits to this Primary, Junior and Intermediate grades school including specialized facilities and staff, and opportunities for mentoring and peer-tutoring across age and grade levels providing a seamless transition to Middle School.The Toronto District School Board Character Traits are used to teach respect, courtesy and dignity, to ensure a safe, secure environment for teaching and learning. With high expectations building a reputation for excellence, a sense of belonging and pride, we celebrate our successes in character growth through monthly recognition assemblies.
