Hello Rideau Families!
It has been wonderful seeing our student athletes expressing interest in our current offerings with tryouts having started this week. A reminder to students who are interested that Cross Country is also coming up. Interested students from grades 6-9 can join Ms. Ford at lunchtime, this Monday to learn more about joining the team and participating in the first meet on Sept 11 at Stanley Park.
Volunteer Orientation – Friday Sept 12 at 11:00am
I am looking forward to connecting with parents who are interested in volunteering for events and activities at Rideau Park School. Please join me on Friday September 12 at 11:00am in the Learning Commons. We will discuss the range of volunteer opportunities that are available to you and how to best support our learners and community.
Meet Your Teacher – Thursday Sept 18 at 5:00pm – 7:30pm
Teachers are getting ready to open their classrooms to you for a casual evening of connection and community-building. Our team has worked quite diligently to create spaces that are flexible and supportive of our learners. We appreciate you taking the time to visit and connect with us.
Families of students with Individual Program Plans will be communicated with separately, as there will not be an opportunity to discuss this with teachers during our open house event. Goals for this first learning cycle must be reviewed with you within the first 6 weeks of school.
Teachers will offer some Teams meeting options with you, including meeting blocks on the Sept 29 non-instruction day. Please connect with your child’s teacher if you have any questions about developing initial IPP targets.
Picking Up Students Early
As we have done in the past, parents/guardians are asked to please e-mail your student’s teacher and/or the main office ahead of time to advise of any changes to your student’s schedule.
To ensure student safety, all students must be met at the office by parents/guardians so that they can be signed out.
