School Update
To the students and families of MRS,
What a fantastic first full week of school at Maple Ridge! It has been wonderful to see our hallways and classrooms filled with smiling faces, curiosity, energy, and excitement for learning. Students have already been busy exploring and creating, with outdoor walks, mysterious monsters, ink paintings, and so much more!
Fun fact: This is the first time in 23 years that CBE students started school on a Monday and had a completely uninterrupted five day week! The last time this happened was August 25, 2003, and it likely won’t happen again until 2032!
We also kicked off our year with an exciting Welcome Back Assembly featuring WOW to Whoa! from TELUS Spark. Generously supported by our Maple Ridge Parent Association, the program had students captivated by exciting experiments involving chemical reactions, physics, and more. It was a perfect way to spark curiosity and begin another year of learning together.
One thing is already very clear, Science is alive at Maple Ridge!

Parking | Dropping off and Picking Up
We ask families to please refrain from parking or dropping students off in the staff parking lot. This area is reserved for staff vehicles and service access and is not designed for student drop-off or pick-up. The increased traffic in this space creates safety concerns, particularly during busy arrival and dismissal times, and limits visibility for both drivers and pedestrians.
We appreciate your cooperation and support in keeping our school community safe.
