Peine Ridge Elementary 2017/18
Welcome To Peine Ridge Elementary
Welcome to the 2017-2018 school year. I hope you are enjoying your summer and have made long lasting memories with your children. I am honored and privileged to start another school year at Peine Ridge.
I am very excited to be the new principal at Peine Ridge Elementary. As your new principal, it is my mission to motivate, inspire, and propel each and every member of our school family into our places of continual excellence as students, educators, parent-partners, community-based partners, and lifelong learners. Peine Ridge is bursting with great potential to far exceed expectations and to produce learners and leaders who refuse to be average. As the principal, I am personally challenged, inspired, and motivated to grow our school by growing every child, every day, based on their unique learner profiles.
At Peine Ridge, the teachers and staff are committed to providing a positive, challenging, and academically-oriented learning environment for all students. Our goal is to provide learning activities which require high levels of critical thinking and reasoning, accompanied by application of learning to real-world situations.
One of the most important components of a great school is the partnership between the school and parents who work together for the best interest of children. The close partnership between home and school is one of the exceptional strengths at Peine Ridge. I appreciate and encourage parents to be actively involved. It is my hope that all of us- families, teachers, and staff will work together to continue to foster in our students an enthusiasm for learning and an appreciation for education.
MY PERSONAL EDUCATIONAL VISION
Our Peine Ridge community is a family. As educators, we must treat each child as if they were our own. We must work together, support each other and realize that no one person is bigger than the school/family.
We will all work hard, support one another and grow together. Our school is our family – success is a by-product of our commitment to working together and respecting each other.
Culture of Personalization:
Our school will be a “Home Away from Home” for students, staff, family and community. A place where the climate provides personalized learning for every student, built on strong student, staff, family, business, and community partnerships. A place where everyone is treated with respect, treated fairly and appreciated.
Culture of Collaboration:
Our school will be a place where students, staff, parents, administrators, and community members work together and take ownership in developing and maintaining a dynamic student-centered learning environment.
Culture of Excellence:
Our school will be a place where academic and personal excellence is an expectation for all. It must be our fundamental belief that all students can learn and achieve at high levels. It is our collective responsibility to ensure we do “whatever it takes” to prepare our students for the competitive 21st century global environment. We will celebrate our successes!
We are excited to see you all in August and hope the remainder of your summer is exceptional and full of family fun.
Sincerely,
Ryan Andrews
Principal

Arrival and Dismissal Procedures
This is an important reminder of the drop-off and pick-up procedures that we will enforce for the safety and efficiency of the students and parents at Peine Ridge. Staff supervision and student drop-off begins at 8:05 a.m. If you arrive early, please wait with your child(ren) until 8:05 a.m. to assure that they are supervised. Parents should not drop students off in the parking lot in order to avoid the drop-off line. However, you can park in the lot and walk with your child to the crosswalk for morning drop off. In the afternoon, park in the lot and meet your child at the front door (dismissing as a front door walker) and will be dismissed before we start the car pick up dismissal.
We will continue using the Splash Station access road to line up cars for drop-off and pick-up. Rather than entering on the Peine Ridge lot, cars will enter Splash Station’s entrance, loop around the back of Splash Station and form a double line on the access road in the morning and afternoon. Cars will take turns to get into a single line onto Peine property and pick-up their child(ren) as usual. The access road gates will be opened before 8 am in the morning and after bike riders and walkers leave in the afternoon.
Bike riders will be dismissed and will follow their usual procedures. Front door walkers will be dismissed from the front doors and then exit to the north or south sidewalk (depending on where they live).
A smooth and efficient procedure takes all of us working together. I appreciate and expect all parents to follow the outlined procedures.
