One way parents/guardians can make a meaningful difference for students is by participating on our school’s parent society. Parent societies are a formal group of parents, incorporated under the Societies Act for the purpose of raising funds for the school. A society is a separate legal entity from the school council. More information can be found in our CBE Administrative Regulation 5001 – School Councils and School/Parent Societies.
Upcoming Meeting Dates
Meeting Dates/Schedule
Parent Society meetings are open to all parents and guardians of children enrolled at Maple Ridge School. These meetings typically follow our Maple Ridge School Council Meetings.
Parent Association meetings are held virtually and are immediately after school council meetings.
About Our Parent Society
Our school Parent Society is known as the Maple Ridge Parent Association.
The major focus of our Parent Association is to help raise funds that support curriculum-enriching activities, services and materials for the students at Maple Ridge School. We do this by running fundraisers like cookie dough and healthy hunger as well as a Casino every 18 months.
As a parent or guardian of a student attending Maple Ridge School you are automatically considered a member of the parent association and have voting rights at meetings. We greatly encourage you to attend these monthly meetings as we make many important financial decisions regarding school-based initiatives.
Funds raised through the Parent Association help provide an enriching experience at the school, and have been used for:
- Mobile Smart Boards
- Storage/charging cart for tablets
- Residency programs (examples: art, theater)
- Yearly allowance per teacher for classroom supplies
- Science Olympics costs
- 3D printer
- Coding kits
- Online music resources
- Library resources
- Home reading books
- Staff appreciation gifts
- Much more!
If you have any suggestions for fundraising activities, would like to partner with us, or are interested in helping out, we’d love to hear from you. Please email: mapleridgecouncil@gmail.com
