Welcome Ridgemount Families

Hello Ridgemount Families,

We hope that you are having a safe, healthy and happy summer with your families. As we look ahead to school starting up soon, we wanted to share some information.

HWDSB Start-Up Plan

The August 25, 2020 update to families includes this chart regarding planned start dates:

Tues Sept 8/Wed Sept 9 – The focus will be on the small number of students who require significant special education supports and/or support with transitions and/or mental health.  Next week we will be reaching out directly to families of these students to set-up times for individual visits (not full days at school).

Thurs Sept 10/Fri Sept 11/Mon Sept 14/Tues Sept 15 – Students will attend based on the first letter of their last name.

We are planning to send out information to families through the website and through School Messenger regarding classes, school procedures, and other information once details have been finalized later in the week of August 31.

Thank you and take care,

Mr. G. Carey – Principal

Mme. N. Kucic – Vice Principal
