Principal's Message

Dear Visitor:

It is a pleasure to welcome you to Dr. S.E. McDowell Elementary School in Shawville, Québec. We are a proud school that belongs to the Western Québec School Board in Québec, Canada.

A web site is a major on-going project that takes time and concerted effort. Often it is a snapshot of the many events that take place within the school that should be remembered and cherished in years to come.

Wherever you go in the School you will be pleasantly surprised. There is no doubt in my mind there is a sense of pride, enthusiasm, and determination within the walls of Dr. S.E. McDowell School.

Students are actively engaging in learning and achieving their full potential.

As a school community we have the dedication to find the good in others and focus on the strengths of individuals. I am proud of what we offer our students and the support we get from the parents and the community .Our staff members are truly devoted to student learning. Working with the students is a very rewarding endeavor that reaps personal satisfaction from watching them grow over the years. This development and sense of accomplishment is a feeling only those of us in the educational enterprise can really connect with. However, we fully understand that parental involvement is absolutely critical to the success of our students.

As a staff we look forward to working with your children and entire school community in order to meet the many challenges of achieving our school’s mission.

Nancy Arniotis
