Welcome to the Home of the Cougars!
Chalmers Street Public School is situated in East Galt. The school opened in the early 1960s and has been a safe haven for the community. We serve a diverse population nestled at the end of Chalmers Street. We have approximately 400 junior kindergarten to grade 6 students enrolled. Our grade 6 students move on to attend Moffat Creek Public School or Stewart Ave PS for grade 7 and 8.
At Chalmers Street Public School, our mission is to create a warm and inclusive space where every child feels valued and inspired. We understand the unique challenges faced by our students and their families, and we’re committed to providing the support and opportunities they need to succeed. By embracing the rich cultural diversity of our community and working closely with families, we aim to build a foundation of hope and resilience. Together, we strive to offer a quality education that opens doors to a bright future for every student.
Our vision is to be a supportive and vibrant school where every student feels at home and can thrive. We want to be a place where diversity is celebrated and where all kids are encouraged to reach their full potential. By working closely with families and community members, we aim to create an environment that helps each student grow, learn, and look forward to a bright future.

Parents and Community
Another fabulous aspect of our community is our parents. Chalmers Street P.S. Council meets on the second Wednesday of the month at 5:30 pm in our library. We invite and encourage all parents to attend these informal meetings to collaborate with staff and further support student learning.
The development of our young people is a shared responsibility involving all members of our school community. Mutual support, teamwork and communication between home and school are fundamental in developing students that are self-disciplined and have the skills necessary to reach their full potential.
