Parent University (formerly called Curriculum Nights)
Our Kindergarten parents will have 2 sessions to choose from with their child's homeroom teacher. The first session is at 5:30 and the second session is at 6:20.
This year, we will also have sessions from our co-curr team, GT specialist, Intervention Support Teacher and Resource/STARS/Speech teachers. If your students are involved in these programs, or you just want to know more about them, please stop by those rooms.
A schedule and map will be given out that evening.
We hope that this format will give you the flexibility to hear the information you need without committing you to numerous evenings. These sessions will be solely focused on academics - what will your child learn this year and how can you support them at home. Each teacher will send home information on classroom policies and procedures through their weekly newsletter.
We look forward to a great evening! We hope you can join us!
Voice For Every Child Award - RES PTA
Congratulations on receiving the Voice for Every Child Silver Award! This is one of Texas PTA’s most prestigious Membership Awards. PTA's recruit members all school year to earn this highest honor and we are excited to acknowledge hard work pays off.
Ridgeview Elementary PTA is one of 285 PTA's that finished the year with a membership total of at least 50% of the school’s student enrollment to receive the Silver distinction.
Our goal this year is to receive the GOLD distinction - one membership for every child enrolled at our school. If you have not had the opportunity to join our PTA, please do so on the PTA Website at https://ptaridgeview.membershiptoolkit.com/
New Faces in the RES Front Office
Monique Moore joined RES as our campus secretary toward the end of last year. She comes to us after spending time at TCHS and Caprock Elementary. She brings a wonderful smile and positive vibe to our school every day! She's incredibly resourceful, so if you ever need anything, just ask!
Teri Quintana is not a new face at Ridgeview, but she is new to the office. Teri served our students in our STACC classroom last year and can now be found all over the place! She takes care of our front office and serves your students as a monitor in the lunchroom.
Kathy Fischer is our new receptionist. She recently moved to Texas from the great state of Maine where she also worked in a school setting. She was actively involved in the PTA and ran the front office. We are excited to have her expertise at RES!
We hope you will take a minute to stop by and say hello - introduce yourself to our new team! It's going to be wonderful school year!!!

Updated Office Procedures
* You will be asked to scan your driver's license through the Raptor system every time you want to go into the school. This system serves 2 purposes. It allows us to know who is in the building and it is linked to state databases to alert us if someone is trying to come on campus who should not be.
* We will not be able to honor early release or change of dismissals after 2:45. The end of the school day is a very busy time and we need to be able to ensure your child will receive any changes being made. If you need to pick up your child early or change the way they will be going home, please do that before 2:45.
We appreciate your support!
