School Update
To the students and families of MRS,
Next Thursday, April 17th, Maple Ridge School is extremely excited to host our Fourth Annual Science Olympics. To successfully pull this event off, we need volunteers. If you can volunteer, and you have an active police clearance that has been shared with our school, we ask you to please connect with your child’s teacher.
On Wednesday, we had our fourth fire drill out of six planned for the school year. Our students and staff took it seriously, just like they would if it were the real thing. Teachers brought their class lists, and attendance was taken. We were really proud of how the students handled this learning opportunity.
Wishing everyone a wonderful weekend.

iLab Donations – Pause for now
A heartfelt thank you to our families for the generous donations of iLab consumable materials—we’ve received an incredible response lately!
At this time, we kindly ask that families pause on bringing in additional items. We’ll be sure to share an update when we’re ready to collect more materials again.
No Parking in Bus Stop Request
We kindly ask families to avoid parking along Mapleton Road in the designated bus zone, as it creates challenges for our 12 school buses during drop-off and pick-up times.
Additionally, we encourage families not to park near the alleyway on Mapleton Drive at the end of the day. This helps ensure our before- and after-care program vans have clear and safe access.
Thank you for your understanding and cooperation!
