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.

Dear families,
As the cool and wet spring weather warms into the promise of a bright and re-energizing summer, I want to take a moment to thank all students, staff, and families for another successful school year. The school year has ended for most of our students, with only Kanaka Creek Elementary remaining in session until July 26. For students registered in summer learning, classes will begin after the Canada Day long weekend, on Tuesday, July 5, 2022. (more…)
The Province is providing $250,000 to conduct a needs assessment of post-secondary education and skills training in the rapidly growing communities of Maple Ridge and Pitt Meadows.
“Maple Ridge and Pitt Meadows are two of the fastest-growing communities in the Lower Mainland,” said Anne Kang, Minister of Advanced Education and Skills Training. “This needs assessment is the first step to understand whether students in the area have access to the educational and training opportunities that are needed for them to thrive and be prepared for the economy of the future.”
Kwantlen Polytechnic University will work in collaboration with other public post-secondary institutions with nearby campuses, including Douglas College, the Justice Institute of British Columbia, and University of the Fraser Valley, to conduct an objective and informed assessment of the post-secondary education needs of the residents of Maple Ridge and Pitt Meadows.
This provincial funding is part of the Province’s co-ordinated approach to address immediate and long-term workforce challenges across all sectors of the economy. The Ministry of Advanced Education and Skills Training is developing a Future Ready Skills Plan that will help equip British Columbians with the knowledge and skills they require for the jobs of the future.
