Weekly Update
We have had another busy week at Elk Ridge! As a follow-up to Mrs. Keating- Hambly's email with updated guidance, we have begun implementing a test-to-stay protocol for close contacts for COVID both inside and outside of school. We are grateful for our nursing staff and many others supporting this effort to keep students in school. Since the implementation of this program, we have been able to keep over 50 staff and students in school.
Food Drive
Elk Ridge is excited to be collecting for the Buckley Food Bank for the month of January! The Food Drive is running now through January 28th. Each classroom will have a collection bin that students can bring their donations. Classroom donations will be counted each Friday this month and running totals will be announced during Monday morning announcements. Please see more information below in regards to specific needs the Buckley Food Bank has. Thank you for your support!
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!
February 8th Levies: Our kids. Our schools. Our community.
White River School District is running two measures in the February 8 election to continue funding that supports our students.
Proposition 1: an Educational Programs & Operations (EP&O) replacement levy continues funding for early learning, Special Education, athletics, extracurriculars and staff.
Proposition 2: a Capital Replacement levy that continues funding for technology, facility improvements, and structural, safety and energy repairs at White River High School.

Reminders
- Please contact the office if there are any changes to your child's end of day transportation for the day.
- Please keep your child home when they are sick. Please call our office if they have been exposed to COVID so that we can follow up with our new test to stay protocol.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 drop off is not a place to park. If you are here early and want to wait until the bell rings to send your student out, please park in the parking lot rather than waiting in the drop off loop. Thank you!
