History
Parkland P.S. opened in 1991 to serve a culturally diverse student population in the Southeast area of Markham. Parkland provides a solid academic program within the context of the Ontario Curriculum. The school population grew steadily from 400 to a high of over 950 during the 1999-2000 school year... As a result of the construction of a new school in the area Parkland now services just over 700 students.
Our school mascot is a Panther.
Facilities
Parkland Child Care Centre, owned and operated by Family Day Care Services is located at Parkland P.S. The school, in partnership with the day care centre runs a Breakfast Club each morning to ensure that children have the nutrition they need to learn.
During the morning, the day care operates a Drop-In centre which helps preschoolers and their families who live in the area to take part in learning and play activities. This also nurtures a sense of community amongst the families in our community.
