Welcome Back
There are so many great things happening already around Harvest Ridge. If you haven't seen it yet, Harvest Ridge was ranked the #10 Best Public Elementary School in St. Charles County. The link is below if you want to explore the other rankings. Once you use the link be sure to click on Harvest Ridge and leave a positive comment about our school. It would be very appreciated to have parents leave comments about what we are doing well.
All of the staff at Harvest Ridge are looking forward to a great year. It takes a team to ensure the success of students and we are delighted to have so many wonderful parents as part of our team. As always if you have any questions or if there is anything that you need please contact the office.
Entertainment Books
All the proceeds from Entertainment Book sales will be used to purchase 30 new chromebooks and a cart. With the purchase of this cart we only need three more carts to get us to our goal of 1:1 in grades 3rd-5th. We are excited at the possibility of having 30 more devices for our students to use.
Be on the look out this week for Entertainment Book information to be coming home with your child.
Attendance
Parent Tips for Promoting Attendance
- Be sure to keep a regular bed time routine and establish a morning routine so your children are rested and alert when they get to school.
- Turn off all electronics including TVs, phones, tablets, and ipads at bedtime.
- Get clothes and backpacks ready the night before to avoid any delays in the morning.
- Check with our school nurse or school staff if you are not sure about when to keep your child/children home from school due to illness.
- Avoid scheduling vacations or doctors appointments when school is in session. If you are planning on leaving the country for vacation, please let your child's teacher and the office know in advance so that we may set up online learning for your child.
- Talk to teachers and counselors for advice if your child feels anxious about going to school.
- Develop back up plans for getting to school if something comes up. Call on a family member, neighbor, or another parent to take your child to school.
Please let us know how we can best support you and your child/children so that they are here every day learning.
