Weekly Update
Our Elk Ridge staff spent Monday doing professional development. All staff including our bus drivers, food service staff, teachers, and others were able to work with their teams to improve their practice and the work we do with our kids every day. Students are wrapping up their second math unit over the next week. Our students are working on counting, adding and subtracting, all the way to multiplying fractions! I am impressed by their use of multiple strategies and most importantly for being problem solvers!
Half Day Lunches
On our upcoming half days, we are able to provide sack lunches if you fill out this form ahead of time. This form allows you to sign up for lunches on half days for the remainder of the year.
Lost and Found
Our Lost and Found is overflowing! If your child is missing a coat please encourage them to check our Lost and Found or please contact our office. Parents are also welcome to come and check the Lost and Found after 3:30 each day. Any unclaimed items are donated to the Donald Loomis Clothing Bank over Winter Break.
Volunteers
We are now able to welcome volunteers back into the building! If you are interested in volunteering at Elk Ridge, please fill out a Volunteer Application through our Frontline Hiring system. Specific information regarding volunteer requirements is available there.
Thank you, Ranger Families, for your partnership and support! Have a great weekend!
PTA Events
Pickup for fundraiser purchases will be after school on Thursday, November 18th in our Library. More details on specific times to come!
Bookfair
Our PTA is hoping to do an in-person Bookfair this year, but they need volunteers. If you are interested, please reach out to PTA at elkridgeelempta@gmail.com.
Reminders
- Please contact the office if there are any changes to your child's end of day transportation for the day.
- Cloth face coverings or disposable face masks cloth face coverings are required indoors and are optional for students outdoors. (A cloth face covering is anything that completely covers the mouth and nose, fits securely, and is made of tightly woven fabric.)
- Please keep your child home when they are sick or have been exposed to COVID. If your student has been exposed to COVID, please call the office to let us know. Thank you!
- Please be mindful during arrival and drop-off times, whether you are on our campus or on a neighboring street. Our goal is for students to arrive and leave school safely each day! Please remember that there is no parking on our grass, it is a huge safety issue.
- Fall weather is here! Please bring your child to school with a coat, especially on those rainy days!
