Good afternoon Parents, Guardians and Ridgecliff Students!

Tomorrow is an exciting day for us all!
The staff at Ridgecliff are super excited to be welcoming back returning students and new students tomorrow. We have been hard at work preparing for the upcoming school year, and looking forward to a great year.
Reminder that our school bell rings at 7:50am!

Tomorrow morning our staff will be outside, beginning at 7:40am, to greet students back for another school year and help them locate their homeroom classrooms.
Students in grade 7-9 will go directly to their homeroom classrooms and spend the morning with homeroom teachers for orientation. The remainder of the day, students will follow their normal 2-week schedule. Students will receive a copy of their schedule and more information in the first couple of hours tomorrow.
Students in grade 6 will go directly into the cafeteria with their teachers and administration for a welcome message before leaving to go to their homeroom classroom.

• Students are welcome to bring in their supplies on the first day of school. Students should bring a light snack, lunch and a filled water bottle for the day.  A reminder that students will not be permitted to leave the school property until completed Permission forms are completed and returned.
• Student Fees for the year are 15$. Paying this fee through the convenience of School Cash Online is 16$ which includes a service charge.  If you would prefer to avoid the service charge, you are welcome to pay student fees in person through the main office.  Please contact the school directly if you have any questions about student fees this year.
• Don’t forget to make note of all other important dates in our school calendar.

• If your child takes the bus, it is important to review their bus stop times and locations through BusPlanner’s Parent Portal. If you have questions, contact us at transportation@hrce.ca or 902-431-4723.

• Picture Day at Ridgecliff is September 13.  We will be sending home a reminder next week. 
• Please remember: the first few weeks can be challenging as we adjust to new routines. Please be patient as we get up and running. You may experience bus delays, especially in the early days. There may also be adjustments to classes to accommodate new registrations and meet class cap guidelines by the end of September.
