Oakville's newest school, Oodenawi Public School is now accepting student registrations for children entering kindergarten to Grade 8. If you live North of Dundas in Oakville, your children (kindergarten to grade 8) will be attending Oodenawi Public School in the fall. Since the school will be closed in July and the first three weeks in August, special summer registration times are scheduled to help parents/guardians get their children ready for school this September.
