FROM THE PRINCIPAL
Paris Ridge Families,
What a snowy end to our last full week of March! It has been a great week though. Our 1st and 2nd graders did a phenomenal job at their spring concert, “Pajama Party.” We had an awesome turnout at our community PTO meeting, and students have continued to have a blast with our March is Reading Month activities.
Next week, we will not have school on Friday due to spring break starting. We will be celebrating as a building during our annual staff/student basketball game; it is a great chance to reflect on our positive behaviors and the fun activities we get to do because of our exceptional ability to follow our ROARS (respecting others, acting responsibly and safely).
Due to our shortened week and those traveling out of town, this will be our last newsletter until after spring break. When we return we will send out communication regarding our 3rd and 4th grades state testing (MSTEP), which begins later in April and into May.
I hope that all of our students enjoy some time away from school and you all have a chance to make a few memories as a family. If you are vacationing over break, I wish you safe travels.
Lance Jones
