Welcome to Kindergarten Event - Friday, May 15
2020-05-15 11:00 - 13:30 (America/Vancouver)
Harry Hooge Elementary staff are very excited to welcome our Kindergarten students who have registered for the 2020-21 school year. Our “Welcome to Kindergarten” event will have a unique look this year, but we still want to mark this important milestone in your child’s life. In order for this event to run smoothly while also ensuring the safety of all involved, we’ve divided the Kindergarten students into 5 groups based on alphabetical last names. Please be sure to arrive at Harry Hooge on Friday, May 15 during your time slot listed below:
11:00-11:30am Last names starting with B and C
11:30-12:00pm Last names starting with D to J inclusive
12:00-12:30pm Last names starting with K and L
12:30-1:00pm Last names starting with M to P inclusive
1:00-1:30pm Last names starting with R to W inclusive
Upon arrival, you will be directed to pull into our school parking lot for curbside pickup of your child’s Welcome to Kindergarten bag. We ask that only one adult and the new Kindergarten student retrieve the bag from our Kindergarten staff while the remaining occupants stay in the vehicle. The bags are full of goodies that have been specially assembled for your kindergartener. Over the next few weeks, you will receive a newsletter called, “The Early Learning Express.” Have a look for ideas about getting ready for kindergarten and how to use items from the Welcome to Kindergarten bags.
We can’t wait to meet our new Kindergarten friends on Friday.
Your Harry Hooge Kindergarten Team

Orientation Week Begins
2020-09-08
Maple Ridge – Pitt Meadows School District No. 42 will be implementing a gradual restart plan during the week of September 8. This means that students will NOT be returning to classrooms on September 8 as previously announced.
The first two days of school (September 8 and 9) will be reserved for the training of staff on all updated health and safety guidelines and to prepare for the return of our students. Students will begin to return to classrooms on September 10 and 11 in groups at set times for a full orientation on the implemented health and safety protocols and an introduction to their cohort.
Regular daily attendance for all grade 1-12 students will begin on September 14. Parents of our incoming kindergarten students will be provided an updated detailed gradual start schedule directly by school principals.
