RRM Parent Update – Aug 31, 2023

Posted August 31, 2023

Welcome from your new Principal, Mr. Singh

Dear Parents and Guardians, 
My name is Sean Singh and I am thrilled to be here as Principal at Ross R MacKay PS this year!
I have been an Administrator in the Upper Grand DSB for about 12 years and started out at Erin PS as VP.  I am familiar with our area and am looking forward to meeting with you all at some point this year.  Please feel free to contact me at school if you have any questions, concerns or compliments so we can work together to make your child’s school experience as positive as possible.
 
First day procedures (where do my kids go on Tuesday morning??)
  • If you are walking or driving your child to school, please refer to the construction updates HERE to keep all of our families safe
  • Grade 1-6 students will gather on the yard and enter the school through the rear doors at the entry bell (8:55am), staff will accompany them to the gym where we will do a short welcome assembly and head off to their classes.
  • Kindergarten students will gather on the south side of the school and educators will bring them into their classrooms
  • ALL parents are invited to come and have a cup of coffee at the front of the school after the morning bell.  This will be a chance to meet each other, catch up and say hello to our School Council

SCHOOL OPERATIONS START UP LINK

The following webpage has been created to provide common information about this year’s start to school for all members of our school community.   The link and information will be posted to the UGDSB website and each schools’ website today.   You are welcome to include the link in your communication to families and staff.   This will be particularly helpful for families inquiring about supports for illness prevention this fall.   https://www.ugdsb.ca/blog/back-to-school-2023-24-school-operations-and-health-and-safety-information/

We hope you take advantage of the lovely summer weather this weekend – See you on Tuesday morning!!!
