Mother Mary Ward elementary school is a part of the Dufferin-Peel Catholic District School Board^[8] and is a feeder school for St. Thomas Aquinas Secondary School (Brampton).

The official closing ceremony occurred on June 2, 2010 at 6:30 pm^[9][10].

History

Completed in 1986, Mother Mary Ward elementary school was built to accommodate overflow students from the nearby St. Anthony's Elementary School^[11]. In its first year of operation grades ranged from JK to 6, the second year JK to 7 and finally JK to 8. The first graduatating class of grade 8 students departed in 1988.

Construction

The school is a two storey structure that sits on 2.06 hectares of land. The school was designed in a modular fashion to allow for quick construction and subsequent destruction^[12]. The school does not have an elevator or barrier-free washroom facilities and therefore does not meet the requirements of the Accessibility for Ontarians with Disabilities Act of 2005^[13]
