Eagle Ridge- eThursday Folder
August, 28, 2025
Message From the Principal
Itโs a great day to be an Eagle!
What an incredible week we've had at school! Our teachers have been hard at work creating a positive and supportive culture throughout the building, setting the tone for a school year full of growth and learning. Itโs been exciting to see new friendships forming among our students, and itโs inspiring to watch our staff begin to challenge students academically in ways that encourage curiosity, confidence, and resilience.
Every day, our school becomes a little brighter because of the care, dedication, and energy our staff bring to nurturing both the hearts and minds of our Eagles. Thank you for partnering with us as we continue to build a community where every student feels valued, supported, and ready to soar.
Have a wonderful weekend!

From the Counselor's Corner
Welcome back, Eagles!
The Eagle Ridge Counseling Department, Linda Lieber and Laura Miller, extend a warm welcome back to all parents and students for the 25-26 school year! We are confident it will be a year where your student excels, feels connected, and makes so many foundational memories.
This year, Eagle Ridge, in partnership with Douglas County School District, is excited to implement weekly social emotional learning lessons through the K-12 Social Emotional Learning (SEL) curriculum, Wayfinder. In order to foster student belonging and connectedness in school, these lessons will focus on building community, confidence, and connection through games, art, and student to student conversation. Until October, the district-wide SEL focus will be on bully-prevention and intervention.
Please keep your eyes on your classroom newsletter for further parent information and updates throughout the course of the school year. Should you have any questions, please reach out to our Wayfinder Lead, Ms. Miller, at lmiller5@dcsdk12.org
Again, welcome back to school! We look forward to a wonderful year!
