A Message from Mrs. Rittmiller
Greetings Families,
We have had a wonderful first 13 days of school. Our students have been amazing! They are getting routines figured out, making new friends, starting content areas! Students and staff have had to adjust each day and they have shown the life skill flexibility!
We continue to make safety a priority. When you come to Bridges you will be greeted and asked to stop by the office to check in. We ask that if you come to visit, you also make sure the doors fully close behind you.
We are excited about a couple of fundraisers to help support BAC for our playground, field trips or "Being there" experiences and our Family Engagement nights. Check your students backpack today for information regarding the Walk-a-thon and the Coupon Book fundraiser! Thank you for your continued support to provide opportunities for our students!
You Matter!
Jody Rittmiller, Principal
Grades K-1, YOU MATTER!

Meet our School Psychologist
My name is Gretta Krier and I am the School Social Worker for Bridges. This is my 3rd year at Bridges and I am proud to be a part of this amazing school. I also support 4 other elementary buildings in the district, in the Level 3 EBD classrooms. This is my 4th year at Mankato Area Public Schools. I have been a Social Worker for 16 years and enjoy getting to know so many families. I am here to offer support for students, families, and staff. In my spare time I enjoy spending most of it watching my two children in all of their sporting events. I can be found at either a soccer/baseball field, volleyball/basketball court, or a hockey arena. Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions or are needing support.

We completed our first early out. The students that were here at Bridges had a great afternoon. If you have changes to your early out plan, please contact the Bridges office. Thank you!
