Weekly Memo Feb 20-23

Hello Ridgemount Families!

I hope that all of you enjoyed time with your family and loved ones this Family Day Weekend.  A reminder to please sign and return the portion of your child’s report card that is to be sent back to the school. If you wish to speak to your child’s teacher please indicate so on the form and return as soon as possible. We ask that parents/guardians of Kindergarten and gr 1 /2 students please be sure to pack an extra change of clothes for your child in their backpack so that we can easily deal with any situations that may arise while at school.

Upcoming events this week:

Thank you to everyone for continuing to work with us towards making sure that the streets and parking lot around the school are safe and less congested.  We still have some work to do with this as we continue to have vehicles parked illegally blocking entrances and bus loading zones. The Parking By Law Officers will be on sight in the upcoming days ticketing those violating traffic signs.

Just a reminder to please adhere to the traffic signs located around the school. We want to ensure the safety of all students during the very busy entry and dismissal times.  To avoid congestion and possible accidents please do not enter the parking lot during entry and dismissal and do not stop or park where the buses load.

Ridgemount had school bus safety presentations earlier this year and with the increase in incidents reported by the bus drivers on the buses we are asking that parents/guardians review the school bus rules from this poster.

Due to safety concerns those students not following the school bus rules may be suspended from the bus.

A reminder to please be sure to contact the school if your child is going to be absent or will be picked up early. Clearly say your child’s full name, their teachers name and the reason for the absence.  The school  number is 905 575 –  1535.  Please try to be on time so as not to disrupt the morning announcements and the instruction of the students.

Be sure to share with others that our school calendar, news and updates are on our website and that families must register online to receive the most updated information. Families can register at:
