Welcome to 2021

Good afternoon Ryerson Families,

I am thrilled to join the Ryerson Elementary School community.  I had the pleasure of working and learning with the Lincoln Alexander, Templemead and Flamborough Centre communities for the past 11 years as their principal.  I was a former Math Facilitator and intermediate homeroom teacher at various schools within the H.W.D.S.B.  I love to go camping with my family and I have a passion for playing hockey (still waiting for my name at the N.H.L. draft!).  My philosophy of education is quite simple—“think, care and work hard”.  I believe as a parent and an educator that we must consistently show care for each other, provide opportunities to think critically and demonstrate the value of  hard work.

I look forward to getting to know the students, staff and families at Ryerson.

All the best and take care,

Mr. M. Hopkins
