Anabelle's fall theme design was selected for October. Over the past two weeks, Anabelle has worked hard on this project. Her work is now displayed on the Lego Board as you enter Ridgeview.

We will begin looking for our next designer in November. We will consider those who have already entered a design and any new entries we may receive.

If you have not yet done so, please complete the Clarity Parent Survey. To date, 19 parents have completed the survey. This survey gives us valuable information that we use when planning for the school year. Thank you in advance.

PTA Reflections is a nationally acclaimed student recognition program to

encourage artistic creativity in the classroom and at home. Students of all grades

and abilities may participate and explore the arts based on the 2017-2018 theme:

Within Reach. Students can submit entries in the categories of: Dance

Choreography, Film Production, Literature, Music Composition, Photography and

Visual Arts.

Encourage your child to unleash their inner artist through PTA’s Reflections Arts

Program! This year’s theme, Within Reach, encourages students to express what

might be Within Reach in their lives, in their circle of influence, or in their

community.

Check out this video to learn more or visit this online resource For Students to read

Just a reminder that breakfast is served from 8:25 to 8:40. The kitchen closes at 8:40. All bus riders are dropped off before 8:40. If your child is a car rider and needing breakfast, please drop them off by 8:35. Following these guidelines allows for students to start their day on time with the tardy bell ringing at 8:45 .

At back-to-school night you should have signed up for primary afternoon transportation. This mode of transportation will be used by the classroom teacher unless the office receives notification stating another mode of transportation. Should you want to change your child's transportation, you will need to call the office prior to dismissal. If we do not receive a phone call, your child will go home using their primary mode of transportation.

Please be sure to have your yellow transportation sheet with you and visible in your windshield.

Pick up on foot is used for those families who want to pick up their child from school and walk home with them. Students with this mode of transportation will go to the library. You will need to pick them up at the library doors. Please have your yellow transportation sheet with you.

Students listed as walker will be allowed to walk home on their own. They will exit separate doors and be allowed to walk home without an adult. Should you need to change your primary mode of transportation, please call the office and we will make this change.
