Mensaje de Sra. Schultz/Message from Ms. Schultz

¡Hola, Rattlers!


¡Feliz Año Nuevo! El 2026 por fin está aquí y vamos a aprovechar al máximo este semestre.

Habrá muchas actividades, así que seguiremos compartiendo información a medida que la tengamos. La publicaré en Class Dojo y, dependiendo de la importancia, también enviaré un correo electrónico a través de Thrillshare.


Volver después de un largo descanso puede ser difícil para algunos de nuestros niños. Por favor, recuérdenles que todos nos adaptaremos gradualmente a nuestras rutinas, pero que debemos seguir siendo responsables, amables y respetuosos.


Disfruten del resto de sus vacaciones.

Los extraño a todos.

Nos vemos el 6 de enero.

Con cariño,

Kara Schultz, Directora de Ridgetop



Howdy, Rattlers,

What? Happy New Year! 2026 is finally here and we are going to make the most of this semester.


There will be a lot going on, so we will continue to push out information as we have it. I will share on Class Dojo and depending on the importance, I may send a Thrillshare email.


Coming back after a long break can be hard for some of our kiddos. Please remind them that we will all be easing back into our routines, but we still need to be safe, kind and responsible.


Enjoy the rest of your break.

Miss all of you.

See you on January 6.


Rattler love,

Kara Schultz, Proud Ridgetop Principal

Este año, nos centraremos en nuestros Principios Rattler: Los Rattlers de Ridgetop son seguros, amables y responsables. Adjunto encontrará las expectativas para todas las áreas de nuestro edificio. Por favor, revíselas con sus hijos al comenzar este año. Queremos asegurarnos de que todos los estudiantes tengan un espacio amable, seguro y responsable para aprender y crecer. Las aulas trabajarán juntas para desarrollar las expectativas que tienen unos de otros sobre cómo ser seguros, amables y responsables.


This year, we will be taking a step back and refocusing on our Rattler Principles-Ridgetop Rattlers are Safe, Kind and Responsible. Attached you will find the expectations for all areas of our building. Please review these with your kiddos as we begin this year. We want to make sure all students have a kind, safe and responsible space to learn and grow. Classrooms will work together to develop the expectations that they have for each other on how to be safe, kind and responsible.
