A Note from the Principal
Hello, Ranger Families!
Welcome to a new school year! We are excited to open our doors and begin another year of learning, growth, and connection with our Rangers.
At Timber Ridge, we believe every student deserves to feel safe, valued, connected, and challenged to reach their full potential. Our staff is committed to creating a culture of academic excellence while ensuring that every child knows they belong, their strengths matter, and we believe in what they can achieve.
Thank you for trusting us with your children and for partnering with us throughout the year. Strong schools are built through strong relationships, and we look forward to working together to make this an incredible year for every Ranger.
Here’s to a great year ahead!
In partnership,
Stephani Grisham
Timber Ridge ES Principal
Beginning of Year Reminders
* We are permitting parents to walk students to their class on the first day only. Parents walking students to class must park at the front of the building and enter through the main entrance. Classes start at 7:25 and parents should exit before that time.
* Students arriving by car will enter through doors 8 and 12 only. This is a drop off lane only. Please be patient and considerate as the line is likely to be long these first few weeks.
* Please note, parents dropping off students may not turn left into the line. This is to keep the traffic flowing smoothly. Please see the map below to follow the directions for entering the drop off line.
* Only clear/mesh backpacks are permitted. Additionally, metal water bottles are prohibited. Please see below for more details.
Safe and Courteous Driving at Student Drop-Off and Pick-Up
For the safety of all students, please remember to drive slowly and follow all traffic directions during drop-off and pick-up.
Remember, parent drop-off is in the back only. If you are walking your child to the door, please use the inner lane. Avoid triple parking or stopping in active lanes, as this creates unsafe conditions and delays for others.
Your patience and courtesy help keep everyone safe and ensure a smooth flow of traffic. Thank you for your cooperation and care for our school community!

Parent and Teacher Partnership
Timber Ridge ES is committed to frequent two-way communication with families about their child's learning. We value and appreciate your partnership as we collaborate to ensure growth and learning for each student. If you have a concern, we ask that you allow us the opportunity to investigate and respond. If the concern is about a classroom situation, we ask that you first attempt to resolve the concern with your child's teacher. If you still have a concern after speaking with your child's teacher, please feel free to reach out to an administrator and we will be glad to assist you.
