Week Of May 22- May 25, 2018

Dear Ridgemount Families,

This week all grade 3 and grade 6 students will be writing the  EQAO ( Education Quality and Accountability Office ) Literacy and Numeracy assessments. Students will begin writing each day at 9:00am and will write for the majority of the first block (until 10:45am)starting this Wednesday, May 23. We will write on Wed, Thur and Fri of this week and students will also be writing next week. Please be sure that your children arrive on time and ready to write so as not to disrupt others in the class that may have already begun writing.

We are also reminding all other students in the school that our grade 3 and 6’s are writing this assessment so to keep the noise level to a minimum.  We will provide healthy snacks for all students and an opportunity to go outside after this lengthy writing period.  Please be sure to tell your children to do their best, not to worry or stress and encourage them to try all questions. The VP and I will be going around to ensure that everyone is calm and comfortable before writing the assessment. The marks will not be included in report card grades and we just want our students to do their best and show their thinking. Although we will be scheduling some make up sessions we do encourage all students to try to attend on the test writing days where possible.

There will be a Learning Skills and Work Habits Assembly and Volunteer Appreciation Assembly (Invitations have been sent out ) this Friday, May 25th as well. Invitations to those parents/guardians of students receiving  awards or presenting will be sent out later this week.  The junior and senior band trip to Canada’s Wonderland is also scheduled for this Friday, May 25th. Letters with details have been sent home already.

Thanks and have a great week everyone!

Mr. Carey – Principal
