I’d be very surprised! I thought it was very much an Ontario ministry of education thing.

Your school might have had a PET or something, the ICONs were Canadian machines.. software had to be obtained from the government.
These machines didn't work at all without a server to network boot from, aka the LEXICON machine, so it's not likely some teacher squirreled all that across the border.
They were not commercially available.
