Jack Donohue Public School Located in the Morgan's Grant area of Kanata, just outside Zone 1 of the OCDSB, Jack Donohue is a public elementary school offering regular English and Early French Immersion programs from kindergarten through Grade 8. The attendance boundary for Grades JK to 6 in the regular English and Early French Immersion programs covers most of the Morgan's Grant area, and also includes the Marchbrook Circle area of Zone 1. The attendance boundary for Grades 7 and 8 in the regular English and Early French Immersion programs is larger, including almost all of the rural Kanata area of Zone 1 as far north as the Thomas A. Dolan Parkway.

Jack Donohue students have the option of entering the Middle French Immersion program at Katimavik Elementary School in Grade 4. As of September 2010, students who were in Grade 6 at Jack Donohue in 2009-2010 have the option of entering the Late French Immersion program in Grade 7 at Stephen Leacock Public School in Kanata. The Late French Immersion program is being phased out across the Ottawa-Carleton District School Board, and this option was retained to serve students who had no opportunity to enter a Middle French Immersion program. September 2010 will be the last year for entry into Late French Immersion.

Strong enrolment in all grades has allowed Jack Donohue to provide a rich range of programming, well supported by an active school council.

Jack Donohue Public School follows a Balanced School Day schedule for Grades 1 through 8, in which the day is organized into three large blocks of uninterrupted instructional time, with two breaks for nutrition and recess (in late morning and early afternoon). Schools following a Balanced School Day schedule in the Ottawa-Carleton District School Board have found it provides more uninterrupted learning time for students as well as better opportunities for extracurricular activities during the two longer breaks.

Built to much the same functional design as Stonecrest Elementary School but with some modifications, Jack Donohue opened in September 2004. The school consists of two wings with a central core of gymnasium, library and office space. An addition was completed in 2009.

Students who complete Grade 8 at Jack Donohue Public School will be directed to West Carleton S.S. in Dunrobin for Grades 9 through 12 English and French Immersion programs. Special education students who have been identified as gifted may choose to attend the secondary gifted centre at Bell High School in Bells Corners. Students may also apply to attend a specialized program such as a vocational program (Sir Guy Carleton S.S.), a fine arts program (Canterbury H.S.), or an International Baccalaureate program (Colonel By H.S.).
