FROM THE PRINCIPAL
Panther Families,
What an exciting week we have had here at Paris Ridge Elementary! With March is Reading Month, we had Drop Everything And Read time, read to a stuffed animal day, another masked reader video, and library time exploring books related to our theme of “around the world.” Thank you to the families that came out last night to our district literacy event. It was nice seeing students and family members outside of the school setting and exploring Caledonia’s wonderful library.
Next week on Tuesday night, we have our Kindergarten Connect event. It starts at 5:30, right here at Paris Ridge. This is an opportunity for anyone, in the community or out, that has a child entering Kindergarten in the fall. You will have the opportunity to meet our teachers, explore our building, and ask questions. We will have staff available to assist with the enrollment process for those that would like assistance. This is a laid back, casual opportunity for our next group of young learners to also gain familiarity in our space. We hope if you have an incoming student, we will see you there and that you will consider spreading the word if you know of any other families looking to sign up for Kindergarten.
Have an amazing weekend!
Lance Jones
Principal

March Event: Tour March is Reading Month Decor + PTO and School Updates + RAFFLE!
Please join us on Thursday, March 21 at 7pm and bring your Paris Ridge student(s)! We are inviting you to tour the school decorations and complete a simple and fun scavenger hunt! After the tour, students will have a read aloud in the Library while you can come hear school and PTO updates. PTO meetings are a great place to get answers to questions you may have for Mr. Jones! After the updates, there will be a raffle for a Barnes and Noble Gift Card!
