Week Of April 3 – April 6, 2018
I hope that everyone enjoyed the long weekend and we look forward to seeing everyone back at Ridgemount on Tuesday, April 3 in the morning!! Remember the bell goes at 8:45am and students are expected to show responsibility by being in class and ready to begin the day at this time.
We would like to share that Mr. Johnston will be teaching the Grade 2 class (Ms. Demois) in the afternoons. We look forward to having him join the Ridgemount team with Ms. Demois as she will continue to teach this class in the mornings.
Our staff and students participated in a very successful assembly the week before the long weekend! Our students have been working on being a good audience (entering/departing appropriately, listening, watching, participating and remaining focused during the assembly. We are so proud of our Ridgemount Roadrunners for the superb efforts and improvements. Keep up the good work everyone! We shared our “Ridgemount Road to Success” steps that were co-created by students, staff and assembly committee. These”Ridgemount Road to Success” steps coupled with our work on monthly Learning Skills & Work Habits will be our school wide focus to improve the climate of our school. We are already seeing great improvements and efforts!!
The following steps will be our “Ridgemount Road to Success” steps focus towards improving our school:
- Always keep your hands and feet to yourself
- Be where you’re supposed to be
- Treat others how you want to be treated
- Calm and quiet movement in the hall
- Listen to and follow instruction from all adults in the school
Parents and guardians, please have a conversation with your child or children about these steps to success and our RESPONSIBILITY focus. What do these look like? How can we accomplish these goals? How do these goals show Responsibility which is the focus for the next few weeks and April’s assembly.

One or two students demonstrating excellence in RESPONSIBILITY from each class will be chosen as award winners. At our next assembly they will be announced and presented with a Certificate. Parents and guardians of students receiving awards will be invited by your child’s teacher to attend the assembly. Parents / guardians of students doing presentations or receiving awards for other accomplishments will also be invited to attend by the classroom teacher.
A reminder to those students choosing to sell chocolates for our school fundraiser that all unsold chocolates are to be returned to your child’s teacher. Please also be sure to check that all money collected is counted correctly and returned to the school. If you have any questions about chocolate sales please contact your child’s teacher as this amazing event is now in full swing! Stay tuned for updates. Thanks to Mr. Massie and all of our staff for their help with this great fundraising event!
