Blue Mountain StrongStart Relocation: PAC meeting
2018-06-07 19:00 - 20:00
Blue Mountain Elementary (school library)
12153 – 248 Street
Maple Ridge
Due to the need to accommodate ongoing elementary enrolment growth both in the Blue Mountain catchment and more broadly in the East Capital Zone of the district, the Maple Ridge – Pitt Meadows School District recently applied to move the StrongStart Centre located at Blue Mountain Elementary to Garibaldi Secondary school. The district has now received approval from the Ministry of Education for this move, which will come into effect September 1, 2018.
The school district highly values the early learning programming support that our StrongStart program provides to the Blue Mountain community and surrounding communities, and is therefore pleased to be able to retain this program in the neighbourhood it is intended to serve.
Assistant Superintendent David Vandergugten, who oversees StrongStart programming in our school district, will attend the Thursday, June 7, 2018* PAC meeting in the school library at Blue Mountain Elementary at 7:00 pm to share further details and to answer any questions. Blue Mountain Elementary is located 12153 – 248 Street, Maple Ridge. (Note: the original date for this meeting was scheduled for June 14, 2018.)
Up-to-date information on all of the SD 42 Strong Start Centres can be found at http://www.sd42.ca/program/strongstart/.

CyberSchool allows SD42 students in grades 6 and 7 to work at school three days a week, and from home (online) the other two days while still interacting with the class. Benefits of this program include the application of technology, collaboration in both online and face-to-face environments, and the development of independent working skills.
CyberSchool students are also part of the school district 1-to-1 program, in which each student is assigned an iPad for the school year. This option is open to all Maple Ridge – Pitt Meadows School District students who will be going into grades 6 and 7 in September 2018.
Registration for Cyberschool starts Monday, February 26th at Alouette Elementary at 7:30 am.
A video presentation on Cyberschool is available at http://bit.ly/sd42cyber
