Transition As you are aware, our vice principal, Erin Cranney, is currently shared between Oscar Peterson P.S. and Wendat Village P.S. In response to increasing enrolment in the Stouffville area, we are implementing a staffing transition to ensure support at both school locations. Effective March 23, Mrs. Cranney and Mrs. Durfy, currently the vice principal at Armitage Village P.S., will begin sharing the VP duties at Oscar Peterson. Mrs. Cranney will use this transition time to share information about the students, school and community with Mrs. Durfy. She will gradually decrease her time at OPPS with the eventual shift to full time support at Wendat Village P.S. in June. We look forward to welcoming Mrs. Durfy to OPPS. She brings with her several years of experience serving as vice principal in a number of Newmarket area schools. 2.
