Aspen Ridge

August 17, 2026

Just as a reminder, Kindergarten Info Night is for our kindergarten families only. We look forward to welcoming all of our other families on Sept. 2nd at Open House.

Homebase teacher assignments will be visible in ParentVue starting at 10 AM on Wednesday, Sept. 2nd, the morning of Open House.

All Back to School forms MUST be completed in ParentVue to see your student's teacher. ParentVue will prompt you to fill out these forms when you login. If you need assistance with ParentVue please call the office at 763-450-8100 or fill out a Helpdesk ticket by clicking here.

We’re getting closer to the start of school, and we’re excited to introduce Car Rider Pro to Aspen Ridge families this year! Car Rider Pro is a new dismissal system designed to help make parent pickup safer, smoother, and more efficient by allowing our staff to know when families arrive in the pickup line.

We are still finalizing our Aspen Ridge-specific procedures and will be sharing more information with families soon, including details about registration, vehicle hang tags, pickup procedures, traffic flow, and more.

Keep an eye on your email for important Car Rider Pro updates in the coming weeks! We appreciate your patience as we prepare to make dismissal as safe and organized as possible for our students and families.

We’re excited to partner with Stages Theatre Company to bring Shrek The Musical KIDS to Aspen Ridge Elementary this fall! Students in grades 2–5 are invited to join this fun-filled production featuring music, humor, and plenty of fairy-tale surprises.

Registration is now open, and rehearsals begin Thursday, September 17! Every registered student will receive a role, and no previous theater experience is required. See the flyer below for registration details and more information!

Help us make Aspen Ridge's inaugural year unforgettable! Families and community members can now complete their annual Raptor volunteer application to be ready to volunteer as soon as school begins this fall. Whether you have a few hours each month or can help at special events, your time and talents make a meaningful difference for our students and staff.

Please note: An approved Raptor volunteer application is required for all volunteers. Anyone wishing to volunteer at Aspen Ridge—whether in the Learning Studios, lunchroom, Media Center, at school events, or on field trips—must have an approved Raptor application on file before volunteering. Completing your application now will help ensure you're ready to get involved from day one!
