4. New Kindergarten 2025 Families
Do you know anyone who has a child starting Kindergarten in September 2025? Please let them know about our Kindergarten Evening on Tuesday, October 8 at 6:30-7:30 PM.
This event will be for families looking to enroll their children in Kindergarten and will offer an opportunity to tour the school with a staff member and ask any questions you may have regarding the MRCS experience. Families can register for the evening here or on the MRCS website on the Admissions page.
For current families with Kindergarten 2025 children:
Please email Mrs. Cramer at for a link to an additional child application.
5. Middle and High School Chapel
The first Middle and High School Chapel of the semester will be on Friday, September 20. Parents are invited to attend.
The Middle School students will meet in the high school drama room.
The High School students will meet in the Gym.
Note: September 20 is also the deadline for linear-based course changes for high school students.
6. Traffic Reminders
We have been in contact with the City of Maple Ridge regarding ongoing concerns about traffic around the school during morning drop-off and afternoon pick-up.
Please ensure you are abiding by ALL TRAFFIC REGULATIONS and are being courteous of the neighbours by not blocking driveways, abiding all no parking signs, and allowing through traffic to get by. Please note that traffic is one way through the parking lot. Please do not leave through the entrance.
Note: The pick-up line should be moving continuously; DO NOT WAIT in this line. If you are waiting for more than 1 minute, please go around the block or find a spot in the parking lot. Parking lot attendants will begin enforcing this and asking those waiting to move next week. This will help ensure continuous traffic flow.
If you are only picking up your children in middle or high school, please consider arriving after 3:10 PM to allow for most of the traffic congestion to clear.
7. Hot Lunch Reminder
Our bi-weekly hot lunch for the fall semester is now available to order for students and staff on Munch a Lunch and can be ordered altogether or week by week.
Please see Hot Lunch for Fall 2024 for more information.
We are also looking for Hot Lunch Sponsors to help make this run smoothly! As a sponsor, we offer multiple advertisements of your logo and website link.
If you are making a personal donation, there will be no advertisement but you will be issued a tax receipt. The amount you wish to donate is up to you.
Please email if you or anyone you know is interested in sponsoring to offset some cost and support our school.
