Happy Friday, RTA Ravens,

Here’s to a weekend of ‘controlled explosions,’ baking soda volcano mishaps, graphing calculations, and frantic tweaks to tri-folds, as students add the final touches to their science fair projects. May your experiments succeed and your stress levels stay below boiling point! 

Gr. 7-9 Band Concert:

  • A huge thank you to Dr. Gray, as well as our teacher helpers, for the incredible Grade 7, 8, and 9 band performances this week!
  • The gym was packed with excited families, and the students were outstanding.
  • It was a wonderful evening highlighting the students’ hard work and talent!

Leaving RTA next year?

  • As registration for RTA’s Science Program starts next week, we are hoping to have an accurate student count, before making any decisions regarding classroom numbers at each grade level.
  • If your child is currently attending RTA or Maple Ridge (grade 4), they are automatically registered at RTA for the 2025-2026 school year (NO action required).
  • However, if your child will be attending a different school, please let the office know ASAP at rtalderman@cbe.ab.ca.
