Principal's Message
Dear Ride Families,
Happy New Year! I hope this finds you and your Challengers well, safe, and healthy during the winter break. I want to thank each of you for the work you have done supporting your child’s education at Sally K. Ride during the first semester. Although this unique year has brought some challenges early on, I am encouraged that we are resilient as we continue to make adjustments to meet the needs of our kids in the building. I appreciate the flexibility and the way students, families, teachers and staff have operated with grace. I have high expectations for each of us as we begin the second semester and look forward to seeing shining examples of the Ride Way.
A few Reminders for a great restart:
· School begins at 8:00am - please make every effort to be on time. Dismissal bell is 3:10pm – PK, K, 1st, and 2nd must have a parent pick up with a release sign. 3rd and 4th graders are welcome to be dismissed from school with parent permission.
· Please be sure to write names in all items; coats, jackets, sweatshirts, water bottles, etc…
· Bring a water bottle – we now have 5 contactless water bottle filling stations. All drinking fountains remain turned off.
Please see below for Dr. Null's video message and our COVID updates.
Happy New Year to you and we look forward to seeing our challengers tomorrow, Wednesday, January 5th.
Sincerely,
Megan Burnham

Reservation for Lunch at Sally K. Ride
We have a Sign-Up Genius to reserve a spot to have lunch with your child. In order to give all parents an opportunity to sign up, each adult may only sign up once every three weeks.
There is no visitor seating available in the cafe. Therefore, you may eat in a couple of different areas; Art room, conference room or outside tables (by gazebo or Trike Track). Certain areas will be designated for specific grades. (see locations below)
We will allow 5 parents per lunch period to eat lunch with their child. Please make every effort to eat outside at picnic tables (weather permitting), otherwise you will see your location to eat in the Sign-Up Genius.
