Opening Day Procedures 2010/2011

School begins on Tuesday, September 7th after the Labour Day long weekend holiday. This day is a ' registration' day where students are given their timetable, assigned lockers, pay student fees, etc. so we can get down to the business of regular classroom instruction the next day.

Returning students in grades 9-12 will NOT pick up timetables before school opening as in previous years. All students will receive their timetable on the first day of school. Students will need to check the lists that will be posted in the main entrance the week before school starts.

Grade 8 students will receive their timetable in the mail at the end of August as well as on the first day of school.

All Grade 8 students, regardless of their CG number, will meet with their CG teachers from 9:30-10:30 and attend a mandatory assembly immediately thereafter from 10:30-11:30 am.

Grade 9-12 students will meet with their Communication Group (CG) teacher at the times specified below. CG's have been assigned registration times to make registration as smooth as possible.

Wednesday, September 8th is our first regular day of classes for 2010/2011 school year.

School Fees

The MRSS school fees are as follows: $28 single student or $50 family (2 or more students from the same family), $5 per lock (2 locks are required). However students may provide their own locks.

Yearbooks are optional and cost $50. We will be taking orders later in the Fall.

School Supplies

MRSS does not put out a school supply list for students. The essentials such as a binder filled with lined paper, subject dividers, pencils, ruler, pens, highlighters and a scientific calculator are staples of school life at MRSS and can be used from previous years or purchased new, it's up to you.

Communication

The staff at MRSS does its best to keep you abreast of current and upcoming events. We produce monthly newsletters and Graduation newsletters, the electronic sign board outside, TV's in the hallways, as well as using out automated "call out" software and email to contact parents with important information from time to time.

We are increasingly using email as a communication tool. Parents are sent newsletters and other publications electronically via email as well as messages with upcoming dates to note. Paper copies of newsletters will be available from the office for those people who do not have access to the internet or just for quick reference. Parents are encouraged to view our website to view daily activites on the "Today at Ridge" tab as well as to search other pages for information.

If you have yet to give us your email address, or if you have changes, please contact the school office so we can update our records.

Library Information

Check out our MRSS Library Web page, click here

Library hours are 8:00am to 3:30pm Mondays to Fridays.   Our library’s extensive collection of nonfiction books and novels are available for circulation for two-week periods throughout the school year.  As an added convenience, all library resources can be viewed through our online database at http://mrsslibrary.sd42.ca

MRSS students visiting the library have access to a variety of services and information:  technology (computers for web based internet research or word processing of assignments, a photocopier, a laser printer); reference collection (Encyclopedias, vertical files, dictionaries, atlases, etc.); reading material (French/English magazines and all genres of novels). 

Please feel free to ask The Teacher Librarian for help with your information research or in finding a good book to read! 

The school library opens the second week of school.

Medical Room

The medical room is available for triage only (emergency first aid treatment).   The school encourages all students who are ill to remain at home.  In the event a student becomes ill at school, they should report to the office. Contact will then be made with the parent or emergency contact and arrangements made to have the student go home. 

 For the safety and well being of all students, we stress the importance of updating all contacts (emergency or other) with the staff at the school.
