East Ridge Community School is located on the east side of Owen Sound, near Georgian College. Our school offers classes from JK to Grade 8 both in the English and French Immersion stream. We are the home of the Falcons!!
Go East Ridge Go!
Hello/Bonjour Falcon Families,
As I reflect on my first month at East Ridge, I am thankful for the warm welcome that has
been extended to me. From the work of our staff, students, SCC, fall fair committee and
volunteers, there is lots going on at our school and seeing such dedication to our school
community makes me proud to be an East Ridge Falcon.
At this point, our field trips are still on hold. For those field trips that were arranged for
January and February, we will be in contact within the next week with additional
information. For field trips scheduled for March and later, we will communicate about
these field trips as time gets closer. We appreciate your patience.
We are now half way through the school year, the first term is coming to an end and we
are beginning the second half of our learning journey. We will continue to engage
students in mathematics, reading and writing. Students are developing flexibility in math
by using number lines, decomposition and parts/whole strategies to build connections
between numbers.
February is Black History month and many classes will be engaging in activities that
celebrate the contributions that Black Canadians have made in many areas (science,
sports, arts, etc). As a diverse school community, we continue to build strong
relationships that promote respect and understanding of each other. Also, we will be
celebrating Carnaval de Quèbec with activities organized by our Mental Health Youth
Champions on February. At East Ridge, we are a diverse community of learners, that
together create a strong community.
