Ridge Report
February, 2019
Principal's Corner
Welcome to our new communication with our PRES families and community! For now, I will send this communication on a monthly basis and provide highlights of events occurring in our school and city. We have many great things going on and I'm looking for multiple ways to share and engage us all in our journey. It's my intent for this to be another avenue that serves to share, inform, and assist the community in learning more about life at Pelham Ridge Elementary.

- Orton Gillingham Training-Ms. Lott and Ms. Nolan are attending this VERY intensive training this week. They will be learning a multitude of strategies to then bring back to train our faculty. It is language-based, multi-sensory approach to instruction. Title 1 funds enabled us to have these two teachers trained in this approach to instruction.
- We have embedded Professional Development occurring on - Wednesday & Friday -
- Teachers will be analyzing our data from the recent iReady assessment and developing instructional plans for students based on their needs. Teachers will also be discussing explicit phonics instruction and how to assist students.
