Laurel Ridge Elementary
End of Year Newsletter
From Ms. Kyle
As we close out the school year, I want to take the time to say thank you to all of you that have visited the school, volunteered, worked with your child's teachers, or supported the school in any way. A special thank you to our fifth-grade parents especially those who will see their youngest child transition to middle school next year.
I also want to ask you to join me in wishing those staff members not returning to Laurel Ridge next year the best of luck on their new adventures. Both Mr. Norton and Ms. Will are retiring to start new adventures with their friends and family. Ms. Alesi and Dr. Lyman are moving out of state. Ms. Motel and Ms. Harmon have accepted transfers to work in special education positions at other schools. Ms. Perroy and Ms. Lewis have accepted positions closer to home in order to spend more time with their loved ones instead of in the car. We wish all of them best of luck and hope they will stay in touch as they will always be members of the Laurel Ridge family.

Parent Survey
----------------------------------------------------
Welcome to the Ridge! - July 17
----------------------------------------------------
Summer Registration
Pre-registration materials were mailed to all current LRE families in PK-4 just after spring break. These materials need to be returned to Ms. Townes (Patricia_Townes@dekalbschoolsga.org) in the front office as soon as possible so your child will appear on a class role at open house in August. Once school is over, Dr. Henry and I will begin making class lists for the upcoming year. We value any input that you may have related to your child's placement for the upcoming year. You can share any important information by completing the optional parent survey at link: https://goo.gl/forms/QMGJUC0PePBiHjvk2 This information will only be seen by Dr. Henry and myself. The survey closes on Thursday, May 25.
