School Update
To the students and families of MRS,
Next Thursday, October 31st, we will be having a Costume/PJ Day at Maple Ridge School. As students will still be engaged in regular classroom activities, we encourage costumes that allow students to safely participate in the learning. We also ask our students to please refrain from any costumes with costume masks or props (ie) knives, bats, guns etc. Additionally, please leave gory, or violent costumes, at home, as this will allow all students to feel safe in our school environment. As an added resource, we have included a Halloween Tip Sheet for our families.
We also want to share that next Friday we will be completing our first lockdown practice of the year. We will be joined by two Calgary Police Officers who will observe our procedures and provide valuable feedback to ensure that safety and well-being of our students.
Wishing everyone a wonderful weekend.
Maple Ridge Staff

Extra Snacks for Field Studies
We have been noticing that many of our students are coming back hungry from offsite field studies. We have been supporting these students with healthy snack items from our Parent Association provided options, however, this amount is not a sustainable option. Knowing this, we are requesting our families to please pack extra snacks for the days when their child is on a field study.
