Please be advised that there may be parents taking photographs and/or video of public performances at the school. We request the cooperation of parents in refraining from uploading any photographic or video content to any social networking site, i.e. Facebook, YouTube, etc., in order to protect the safety and privacy of our students and families.
Tait Street Public School, located in the south-west end of Cambridge, is a junior kindergarten - grade 6 school. Our school enrollment is currently 321 students.
Our staff, of about 25, includes classroom teachers, a special education teacher, French teachers, special education assistants, library clerks, an office manager, two custodians and the principal. The staff works very closely together to provide a welcoming, safe environment where high expectations are set and students are encouraged to do their personal best.
A strong, supportive parent community and council enhance the work of staff and students. Approximately 100 volunteers help, on a regular basis, in the classroom with reading and writing support for our students, extra opportunities to review concepts and skills and on off-campus trips.
Our grade 6 students are provided with leadership opportunities which include bus and safety patrol, office helpers, lunch room assistants and primary classroom assistants. A strong focus has been placed upon good citizenship skills and responsibility for self and personal learning. A citizen award, called the Irene Schmidt Award, is awarded annually to two grade six students who demonstrate strong leadership and good citizenship skills and who do their very best in their day-to-day job of school. Good citizenship skills, commitment to task and responsibility for self are recognized and celebrated on a regular basis. Special events at Tait include Skating Races, Fun Fair, Volunteer Recognition Tea, Grade 6 Camp, Cookie Days and Food Days.
We thank you for visiting our web site and welcome your ideas and responses.

Principal
