Weekly Update
This week our 4th and 5th graders completed SBA testing. They worked hard, persevered, and did a great job!
Conferences are coming up soon, and teachers will be sending out scheduling information by no later than Wednesday of next week. Our specialists (PE, Art, Music, and Science) will be having open Office Hours each afternoon. If you plan on stopping by to meet with them, please reach out to them ahead of time. If you would like a conference separately with your child's Special Education teacher, Speech and Language Pathologist, etc., please reach out to them to schedule a time. You can find contact information for any of our staff via our website if you are unsure of their email. If you would like our School Counselor, Mr. Andrus, to attend a conference, or myself or Mrs. Schutz to attend, please let us know. I know our entire Elk Ridge Staff are looking forward to meeting with families to discuss what our students have been working on this year as well as their progress.
Picture Day
Picture Day is Tuesday, October 26th. You can pre order photos from O'Conner Photography Studio online.

Our PTA sent out Spirit Wear order forms this week. Please review them and turn in any orders by next Friday. Mondays are "Ranger Mondays" where we encourage students and staff to wear their Ranger gear!

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.
