Principal Message

Greetings, Ride Families!


We are super excited for our annual Ride Thru The Decades event tonight! If you did not pre-purchase tickets, that is OK. The kids and the staff have had a blast dressing up for each decade this week. You can purchase tickets at the door. One ticket includes all the food and games. Don’t forget to check out the online Ride Through the Decades Silent Auction. All proceeds go directly to the Ride PTO. We are able to do so much because of your support and our staff would like to give you a very heart felt thank you ❤️. See you tonight –


Online Registration for the 2023-24 school years is open for all grade levels.


Have a great weekend,

Sincerely,

Megan Burnham

It’s Book Fair Time

Our Book Fair is April 11th – 17th in the school library. During the week, the Book Fair is open from 7:30 – 3:00. The Book Fair will also be open the evening of April 14th during Ride Through the Decades. Our last day of book fair is Monday, April 17th. Thanks for supporting our Book Fair. Profits support our Sally K Ride library.

Digital Payment Option for Book Fair

We have a great digital payment option that is highly encouraged for students to use. Parents can set up an eWallet for students, deposit money into it, and students will not have to bring money to school. Visit our Book Fair homepage at https://www.scholastic.com/bf/sallykrideelementaryschool

to open up an eWallet account for your child. Any left over money in the eWallet will be put on a gift card for your student to use at future fairs or online. If you have money left over from the last book fair, you can sign in to your ewallet and transfer the money to this book fair.

Book Fair Volunteers Needed

We have some wonderful Book Fair volunteer opportunities from April 4th – April 18th! Please click here to sign up to volunteer!

Thanks for volunteering!

Teacher Book Fair Wish Lists

Teachers have a wish list of books that they would like for their classroom. If you would like to purchase your child’s teacher a book, each teacher has a box in the book fair with books they would like for their classroom. You can pull a book out of their box and purchase it for them. It is always fun to let your child deliver it as a gift to his/her teacher and classroom.


Thanks for supporting the SKR teachers and the SKR library!

Lunch Sign-Up

Due to limited seating in the cafeteria, we are offering two options for lunch signups. You will have the opportunity to sign up to eat in the cafeteria with your child or outside in our gazebo/picnic table area. You will not be able to change locations after signup is complete. If you sign up to eat outside and it rains, you will be unable to move into the building due to limited seating. You may sign up for another day/time.

Each slot is available for two adults and the child you are eating lunch with..

Please see the schedule below for designated grade level lunch visitor’s days. Make sure that you sign up under the correct time slot for your child’s lunchtime. Each student may have a lunch visitor once every 3.5-week period. This ensures every parent has an opportunity to sign up. Remember to bring a valid id when you visit the building.


Due to limited seating in the cafeteria, we are asking all parents with small children to eat outside in the gazebo area.
