Welcome to the Tanya Khan Public School Community!
At Tanya Khan Public School, we are committed to creating a dynamic, inclusive, and nurturing environment where every student feels valued, respected, and empowered to reach their fullest potential. We celebrate the unique qualities, identities, and abilities of all our students, and strive to build a learning space that reflects and supports the diverse backgrounds and experiences of our community. As part of the York Region District School Board, we follow the Ontario Ministry of Education's curriculum, while also ensuring that our students have access to enriched, personalized learning opportunities through a variety of co-curricular programs that cater to diverse learning styles.
We believe that equity is the foundation of a thriving school community, and we are dedicated to creating an environment where every student feels safe, included, and heard. Our school prioritizes the values of respect, kindness, and empathy, fostering positive relationships among students, staff, and families. In alignment with the Board’s Safe Schools Policy and Character Education Initiatives, we focus on promoting inclusivity, understanding, and acceptance of all individuals, regardless of their backgrounds, identities, or abilities.
To further support the growth and well-being of all our students, we offer a range of programs that promote emotional, social, and academic development. These include anti-bullying initiatives, guest speakers, workshops on social skills, and mental health support services. Our Progressive Discipline Model ensures that all students are treated fairly and with respect, providing opportunities for reflection and learning from mistakes. Additionally, our Student Leadership Program empowers students to take on leadership roles, helping them to develop confidence, problem-solving skills, and a sense of responsibility.
We take immense pride in recognizing and celebrating the diverse achievements of our students. Whether through report cards, morning announcements, or school-wide awards, we ensure that every accomplishment—big or small—is acknowledged. We emphasize that success is not one-size-fits-all and encourage students to define their own paths to success. Our school community thrives on collaboration, and student leadership plays a crucial role in driving initiatives such as the School Store, extra-curricular sports teams, and specialized groups like the Dance Club, Robotics Team, Yearbook Team, and Eco Team. These initiatives allow students to explore their passions and develop valuable skills in a supportive and inclusive setting.
We are also proud of the strong partnerships we have built within our community. Tanya Khan P.S. is supported by a wide range of organizations, including the Children’s Aid Society, Early Intervention Services, Vaughan Fire Department, York Regional Police, and the Families and Schools Together Program. Together, we work to provide resources and support for all families, ensuring that every student has the opportunity to succeed. Our community-focused initiatives also extend beyond the school building, where we support important causes such as the Vaughan Food Bank, Autism Ontario, and the Terry Fox Foundation. Through these collective efforts, we strive to make a meaningful impact on the broader community and create a culture of care and responsibility.
Our commitment to inclusivity also extends to ensuring that every family feels welcome and involved in the school community. We understand that every family’s needs are unique, and we actively work to create an environment where all voices are heard and valued. Whether through participation in school events, volunteering opportunities, or communication with staff, we encourage families to take an active role in the school year, fostering an ongoing partnership that benefits our students. We recognize that a strong school community is built on collaboration, and we value the diverse perspectives and experiences that families bring to the table.
Each year, we are excited to welcome new families into the Tanya Khan P.S. community. We invite you to become an active part of our school’s journey by participating in school events, attending parent-teacher conferences, and collaborating with us to create a supportive and enriching experience for all students. We look forward to getting to know you and working together to ensure that every child’s voice is heard, their identity is respected, and their potential is realized.
Together, we are building a community where all students can thrive, feel supported, and achieve their dreams!
