Rouge Valley Public School's Mission Statement
Rouge Valley Public School, on the edge of the Rouge Valley, opened in May 1992. Serving 300 students from Junior Kindergarten to Grade 8, we represent the cultural diversity that makes up Toronto! A YMCA daycare centre is on site. There is a preschool program and a before/after school program for school age students.
Our school is committed to students by providing a learning environment that promotes the development of academic skills, knowledge and achievement, the growth of self-esteem and responsibility, and the demonstration of respect, cooperation and equity.
The parent community plays an active part in the daily activities of the school through the School Council, and parent volunteers.
