Week of Jan 21-25, 2019

Ridgemount Families,

A reminder that this Friday, January 25th is a PA day so there will be no school for students that day. As the weather becomes colder we will monitor our alerts and ensure that students remain indoors once we have been notified.  Please ensure that students are dressed appropriately for this colder weather and feel free to let us know if your child requires any winter clothing as we do have some on hand thanks to our school support EA, school EA’s and staff for organizing this.Please remind students to check the lost and found for items that have gone missing as there are many articles of clothing looking for their owners.

Students have been following our Ridgemount Roadrunner Road to Success expectations. Please review these expectations with your children and have them share with you what they are. A reminder that cell phones are not to be used without permission from staff and are not to be used during Nutrition Breaks. Students are to place cell phones in bins in the classrooms provided or keep in lockers or backpacks. Please remind students that they are not to take photos or recordings of others without consulting with staff first.

Ridgemount Road To Success Expectations:

1. Always keep your hands and feet to yourself
2. Be where you’re supposed to be
3. Treat others how you want to be treated
4. Calm and quiet movement in the hall
5. Listen to and follow instruction from all adults in the school

Please also be reminded to follow the signs located around the school regarding parking and school bus loading zones (at the front and east side of the school as well as in the back parking lot. We would like to ensure that safety of all our students and staff and our Bylaw Officers will be monitoring and giving out tickets to those.

We will ask that parents/guardians not enter the parking lot during entry/dismissal as we have had a couple of close calls with accidents and we must allow safe access for our school buses that drop students off in the parking lot. Please drop off on Ronaldshay and be sure students use the sidewalk and not walk through the parking lot.

Kindergarten Family Literacy Day will take place this Thursday, January 24th at 9:00am. All kindergarten families are invited to join us.

Friday, January 25, 2019 is a PD Day – No school for students that day!
