About Us

Students

Mutchmor's students and families come from a variety of diverse backgrounds which are recognized and celebrated in our school. After students complete their grade 6 year, most students transition and attend Glashan Public School. Most students who choose to change to the regular English program, register at First Avenue Public School.

Community Child Care Providers: In accordance with the Education Act and its regulations, school boards may directly operate child care programs or they may enter into an agreement with a Community Child Care Partner. The OCDSB has developed and entered into partnerships at a number of elementary schools with Community Child Care Partners. Our Community Child Care Partners are regulated by the Ministry of Education, and licensed under the Child Care and Early Years Act, 2014. These programs offer a fee based service for children and their caring adults.
