School Update To the students and families of MRS, Registering your child for school is an exciting milestone for families! Starting this past week, Kindergarten registration for the 2025-26 school year officially opened. To be eligible for Kindergarten next school year, children must turn five years old on or before December 31, 2025. Registration for new Grade 1-4 students has also begun. For more information, visit the CBE Registration Page and our school website. We also want to share that families will be able to view online student report cards for Kindergarten to Grade 4 beginning Monday, January 27. Report cards for the 2024-25 school year may be viewed, downloaded and/or printed by signing in to the MyCBE account. Wishing everyone a wonderful weekend. Maple Ridge Staff Upcoming Important Dates

RTA Alderman – Current Grade 4 Students – Jan 30 The 2024-2025 RTA Open House is scheduled for Thursday, January 30th at 6:00pm.
