Upper Elementary Field Trip- Royal Botanical Gardens
2026-04-07 10:00 - 14:00 (America/Toronto)
Dear Upper Elementary Families,
On Tuesday, April 7, 2026 the Upper Elementary students will be going on a field trip to the Royal Botanical Gardens. The Year 4 students will be attending a workshop on Rock, Minerals and Erosion to go along with their current study. While the Year 5 and 6 students will be learning about Biodiversity and Habitats which compliments what they are also currently studying in class.
The students are asked to arrive at normal time as the bus leaves at 9:45am and we will return by 1:45 pm. Students should wear their school uniform with appropriate outerwear for the weather as we will be outdoors rain or shine. They will need a leak proof water bottle and a litterless packed lunch. Those students on hot lunch will be provided with a bagged lunch.
We are looking forward to a great day of learning outside.
Warmly,
The Upper Elementary Team

Dear Upper Elementary and Middle School Parents,
The annual PSAA (Private School Athletics Association) Track and Field Meet will be held on Thursday, April 30th, 2026 at Rob Ford Stadium (formerly Centennial Stadium) in Etobicoke.
The students and teachers will be travelling by bus. All Upper Elementary and Middle School students need to meet their teachers in the sports field parking lot located behind Clanmore at 8:30am. The bus is scheduled to depart Clanmore at 8:45am sharp. Unfortunately, we will not be able to wait for late arrivals.
The students and teachers will arrive back at Clanmore at approximately 4:45pm; we ask that parents be in the sports field parking lot at this time to pick-up their Upper Elementary and/or Middle School child/ren.
As representatives of Clanmore, all students attending this outing must wear a full Clanmore gym uniform and running shoes for the entire event. This includes the navy shorts, white Clanmore crested t-shirt, and Clanmore track pants and hoodie. The students will also be provided with a Kodiak jersey on the day of the event.
Students should also be prepared to bring outerwear appropriate for the day’s weather; a warm jacket, a hat, sunscreen or rain gear might be needed, as we attend the Track and Field Meet rain or shine. Clanmore has a canopy tent to provide some shelter.
Students in Upper Elementary on the catered lunch program will receive a catered packed lunch. All other students in Upper Elementary must bring a packed lunch from home. All Middle School students MUST bring their own packed lunch from home. All students are encouraged to bring extra snacks and extra water. Please note: All younger siblings need to remain in the care of their parents outside of regular school hours (8:30am – 3:45pm). Younger siblings are to be dropped off and picked up at their regular scheduled time and spot, unless other arrangements have been made.

CANCELLED-Toddler: Parent-Child Music Program
2026-05-01 10:45 - 11:15, 2026-05-08 10:45 - 11:15
Dear Toddler Parents,
We are looking forward to our annual Parent-Child Music Program. This program will take place during the month of May. Parents are invited to join us for some fun and music with the children every Friday during the month of May (with the exception of May 15th – Victoria Day weekend ). It is a four-week program based on the Musikgarten Curriculum that Clanmore uses in all our preschool programs.
Classes are led by our Toddler Music Teacher, Cosima Loranger, who is an exceptional singer & songwriter with extensive knowledge of the Musikgarten program and has been using the curriculum over the last 8 years at Clanmore Montessori School.
Classes will take place every Friday (May 1st, 8th, 22nd and 29th) 10:45 am to 11:15 am in the Toddler Room. Please arrive at the front entrance, gather and head to the Toddler Room where your children will be waiting for you. It is a wonderful time to bond through music and movement with your little one and an opportunity to add more songs to your repertoire. In addition to learning new songs, there will be pitch matching, rhythmic patterning, and keeping a steady beat with instruments.
Please note that we would be delighted to see grandparents, aunts, uncles, or nannies​ in the event that a parent is unable to join us.
At 11:15 am half-day children will go home with their parents and full-day children will stay in the class and get ready for outdoor play. Full-day parents who would like to take their children home are welcome to.
​**Please remember to park in the back parking lot, located behind the school.

Dear Parents,
On May 6th, the Upper Elementary and Middle School students will be going to the Oakville Centre for the Performing Arts to see a concert of Missy D. This performance will be entirely in French, giving the children an opportunity to experience the language in a new context.
The students are asked to arrive at regular time as we will be taking public transportation to the concert, leaving the school at 11.30am. The students will have a picnic lunch. Hot lunch students will be provided a bagged lunch. All others are asked to bring their lunch in a bag that they can carry. The concert begins at 1pm and students will return in time for regular dismissal.
Students are asked to dress in their Clanmore uniform as well as to dress appropriately for the weather, as there will be some walking.
Below is the short biography of Missy D.
Thank you very much,
The Upper Elementary Team
Missy D is a hip-hop, rap and soul artist who makes music as a form of therapy. She empowers folks with love and music as a way to express feelings, share a message and connect with listeners. Missy draws inspiration from French melodies to r&b, soul, jazz, hip hop, rock and rap legends. Missy D will have you feeling all the feels and singing YES MAMA as she embraces diversity in instrumentals, music and most of all people. 123 on y va, on y va
