ERA 114/115 Elementary School Boundary Review (Heritage Glen PS, Palermo PS, Emily Carr PS, Captain R. Wilson PS)
An elementary boundary review has been completed in the NW Oakville area. Parent/guardians of students attending Abbey Lane PS, Captain R. Wilson PS, Emily Carr PS, Forest Trail PS, Heritage Glen PS, Palermo PS, Pilgrim Wood PS and West Oak PS were notified in January 2012 of the boundary review process.
The purpose of the review was to examine options and recommend an implementation plan for September 2012 for the re-direction of some students in some of the above schools to better balance enrolment.
