MAPLE RIDGE – Students, families and staff in Maple Ridge can look forward to a new and expanded Eric Langton Elementary school now that funding to replace the school has been approved.

“I’m proud of the work our government is doing to build safer schools, and work with school districts to find beneficial solutions to help meet the demands of enrolment growth,” said Jennifer Whiteside, Minister of Education and Child Care. “The new neighbourhood learning centre at the school will include child care space and is a great example of how schools are integrating services that benefit families.” (more…)

Dear teachers,

On World Teachers’ Day, I want to take this opportunity to celebrate the contributions you make in shaping our school communities and making the Maple Ridge – Pitt Meadows School District a great place to learn. Every day you inspire, you encourage, and you give confidence to young people as they strive to achieve their goals. Your impact extends far beyond the classroom, and we are grateful for the role you play in shaping the next generation.

This year’s World Teachers’ Day theme is “the transformation of education begins with teachers.” The theme acknowledges the crucial role teachers play in helping shape the education system and ensuring students have the tools they need for the future. It also highlights the important role teachers play in making their schools and the broader community a better place for everyone. While World Teachers’ Day is recognized once a year, I am grateful for the work you do every single day in supporting students and their families.

With gratitude,
Harry Dhillon

Dear parents/guardians,

As a reminder, if your child is leaving the Maple Ridge – Pitt Meadows School District (e.g. your family is moving outside of the district), you must complete a withdrawal form on the Parent Portal. Withdrawing through the Parent Portal helps us ensure student records are transferred to your child’s new school in a timely manner. 

To complete a withdrawal form, log in to your Parent Portal account, click on the “Registration” tab, and under “New Requests” select the appropriate withdrawal period. 

Contact your child’s new school/school district to inquire about their registration process. If you are withdrawing more than one child, complete a separate request for each child.

• A withdrawal cannot be used to request a different school within the Maple Ridge – Pitt Meadows School District (SD42). If your child is currently attending an SD42 school and you would like to request a transfer to a different school within our district, you will need to complete a transfer request.
