A Note From The Principal
Welcome back to another fantastic year of learning at Sally K. Ride!! I trust you have enjoyed your summer and are ready to get back into the routines of the school year. These last three days have been incredible. Actually, three of the best first three days to date!! The teachers are so happy and impressed with the kids. Thank you for raising and instilling good strong character in your children. We can see that they have strong foundations are here to learn and grow. If your child is new to Ride, please reassure and encourage them that they will make new friends and learn something new every day.
We will continue to dismiss at 3:00 this week as we make sure our routines are safe and secure for all.
Car Rider Drop Off Helpful Hints
Children may enter the building at 7:30 am. Supervision is not available before 7:30 am, please do not drop your child off and leave them unattended on the school grounds before this time.
Please have your child's backpack ready, media devices turned off and ready to dismiss from car so we may move along quickly and safely. Students may exit the car as soon as it stops, walk to the side entrance door, and walk to the gym.
Please have your child exit on the passenger side to ensure safety.
And as always, NO CELL PHONE USAGE WHILE ON SCHOOL CAMPUS.
Transportation Changes
For the safety of all students, all transportation changes must be sent to your child’s teacher in writing. Teachers will not allow your child to go home a different route without a signed note or an email from a parent. Please plan in advance for transportation changes and send an email to the teacher or a note with your child. If a change is made after your child is at school DUE TO AN EMERGENCY, contact the front office by 2:15 pm. Changes will not be made after 2:30 pm. This includes parent walk-ins at the end of the day, so please plan accordingly.
You must have an orange car sign to pick up biker/walkers and all car riders. If you do not have an orange sign with you when picking up a student, you may wait in the front office for the students to be brought up after dismissal.
