🍂 Parent Evenings at Rowan Tree

Parent Evenings are a special part of our school community—a chance to step into your child’s classroom world, learn more about their experiences, and connect with the families who share in their journey.

Just as our children grow through relationships and community, so do we. We hope you leave feeling more connected to your child’s classroom and to the wider Rowan Tree community.

Together, we grow. 🌱

Saturday, November 14 | 10:00 am - 12:00 pm

Come discover what makes Rowan Tree Children’s School a special place to learn, grow, and belong.

Join us for our Open House and experience our school community from Preschool through Grade 8. Explore our classrooms and outdoor spaces, meet our teachers, and learn more about an education that nurtures the whole child — head, heart, hands.

At Rowan Tree, children are given the time and space to develop curiosity, creativity, confidence, and a deep connection to the world around them. Our approach brings together meaningful academics, hands-on learning, the arts, movement, nature, and strong teacher relationships within a warm and connected school community.

Whether you are just beginning to explore educational options for your child or are looking for a school where your child can thrive for years to come, we invite you to stop by.

🍎 A Celebration of Apples, Autumn & Community 🍂

There is something special about gathering as the seasons turn.

Last Friday, our Forest School Enrichment Day students harvested apples, filling baskets with autumn’s bounty. This week, students and volunteers pressed those apples into fresh, delicious c***r.

At Rowan Tree’s Apple C***r Festival, we celebrated the harvest, gave thanks for the abundance of the growing season, and enjoyed the traditions and simple gifts of autumn together as a school community.

A heartfelt thank you to everyone who helped harvest and press. What a delicious way to welcome the turning of the year! 🍎🍂

National Day for Truth and Reconciliation | September 30

Today, Rowan Tree joins communities across Canada in remembering the children who never returned home from residential schools, honouring Survivors and their families, and recognizing the lasting impacts of this history.

At Rowan Tree, we believe education invites us to listen, learn, and ask questions. Reconciliation is not a single day—it is an ongoing commitment.

🌱From Farm to Table 🥣

Last spring, our Grade 3-4 students planted and tended the school garden. Months later, those potatoes and leeks became something even more meaningful: a shared meal.

As they prepared potato leek soup, the students put their math skills to work — converting measurements and multiplying a recipe designed to feed 4 people by 9.5 to make enough soup to share with the whole grade school.

But the learning didn’t stop with the math.

Students shared their soup across the grade school and set some aside to bring to a community member recovering from an injury.

This is learning with a purpose: growing food, applying mathematics, preparing nourishing food, caring for others, and contributing to community.

At Rowan Tree, we believe some of the most meaningful learning happens when head, heart, and hands work together.

This is authentic learning: academic, practical and serving a greater purpose.

The beginning of a new school year is filled with fresh notebooks, new routines, familiar faces, and new friendships.

But some of the most important things children gain at school can’t be measured on a report card.

A sense of belonging.

A trusted teacher.

A friend who invites you to play.

The confidence to try something new.

The feeling of knowing: I have a place here.

At Rowan Tree, we believe strong relationships are at the heart of meaningful learning.

Dear Human,

We’re a Rowan Tree sweatshirt and a pair of socks.

We used to have a home.

Then someone forgot to label us. 😭

Now we live in the Lost & Found, waiting for our person to remember us.

Don’t let this happen to your clothes. LABEL. YOUR. STUFF. 🧦👕

Support Rowan Tree through our Mabel’s Labels fundraiser — and yes, anyone can use the link! You don’t have to be a Rowan Tree student or family.

Because labelled clothes have a much better chance of finding their way home. ❤️
