Located in the hamlet of Bird’s Creek, 5 kilometres north of the town of Bancroft, Bird’s Creek Public School serves 160 Junior Kindergarten to Grade 6 students.
Students have access to a spacious library, full-size gymnasium, well-equipped playground and an after school program. The school provides a safe and healthy learning environment based on mutual respect and inclusionary practices. Staff, parents, students, school council and volunteers share the responsibilities for student achievement. Students participate in the Silver Birch and Blue Spruce Library Programs. Bird’s Creek PS is a Healthy Active School Community.
Bird’s Creek PS students proceed to York River Public School in Bancroft for Grades 7 and 8.
The HPEDSB Learning at Home resources page is intended to provide learning options to help keep students stimulated during these unprecedented times. Use of these resources is completely optional. We look forward to welcoming all students back to our schools once it is safe to do so.
The HPEDSB Parent Involvement Committee is presenting an evening talk on parenting, resilience and positive mental health. The Northern School Group evening presentation is on May 15 at York River Public School. Light snacks and refreshments will be served from 6 pm onwards with the key not speaker at 6:30 pm.
The key note address is being given by Leslie Ford. Leslie Ford is a local child and youth worker certified in Therapeutic Crisis and with 35 years of experience in child development. She works with families assisting children with high needs behaviour at home and at school.
Fun Fair Update
Due to the Special Weather Advisory which calls for snow, freezing rain and ice pellets tomorrow, Fun Fair has been postponed. Fun Fair will not take place on Tuesday, May 7th from 5:30 - 8 pm.
If you sent in baked goods, we have put them in freezer until next week.
We appreciate your understanding, it was certainly not in our intention to have winter in May!
School Climate Survey
We ask that all our parents and guardians take a few minutes (less than 5) to complete HPEDSB's School Climate Survey for Families. The information collected helps us to identify areas where we need to focus our attention.
The link to the survey can be found on the left hand side of this website.
Thank you
