Dear Families,
We are now switching over to Google Classroom for all communications. Please log in with your child's CBE email address and password. You can email Ms. Martin or Mrs. Blanchard if you are not sure how to log in. This is where you will find any reminders or important info.
Please feel free to check out our Instagram page @rideaupark1 as well for updates on what we have been learning!
At the end of each week, we will also post our TWAS (This Week At School), which will highlight some of the things we did that week. This can also be found on the Google Classroom.
