Message from the Principal
We are excited to be opening our doors for the 2023-2024 school year. It is going to be a very special year. We are celebrating our 40th year as one of the Woodlands Elementary Schools.
The doors opened in 1983 and was named Sally K. Ride Elementary. She was the first American Woman to fly into outer space in 1983. The school was named after her heroic mission during the same year. We will be commemorating this special year throughout the school year and culminate the activities with a 40th year Celebration on March 7, 2024.
Ride is a special place, as mentioned above we have had 40 years to create special memories and deep traditions. One of my favorite activities is when the Seniors come back to Ride to walk the halls for their Senior Clap Out, before they venture off to their next phase in life!
Another fun fact: Sally K. Ride has only had three principals during it's 40 years of excellence. And I am so grateful that I have been a part of this wonderful place.
Please be sure to click on Back to School Basics below. It has everything you need to know to start the new school year.
I am looking forward to seeing and/or meeting you at our annual Meet and Greet on August 7th. This is a come and go event to meet your teacher, see your new classroom, and the school.
We are looking forward to another incredible year at Ride!
