Happy November, Ranger Families!
November is the month of gratitude and affirmations - a perfect time to share our appreciation for your partnership and support. Thank you for your help in making Timber Ridge a positive place to learn and grow.
Parent teacher conferences will continue throughout the month. If you have not yet had the opportunity to meet with your child's teacher and would like to, please don't hesitate to reach out to schedule a conference soon.
As always, please continue to encourage your students to engage positively in learning every day and to interact with others appropriately. Thank you for your continued support of Timber Ridge ES.
In partnership,

From our Librarian
Dear Parents,
We’re excited to share that our students are halfway through the Fall Reading Challenge on Beanstack, with two months remaining! Beanstack, accessible via Clever, lets students log their reading minutes and earn rewards. For every two hours of reading (about 20 minutes per day), they can select a prize during their library class time. Our next prize distribution is scheduled for the week after Thanksgiving, so please encourage your child to keep reading and logging those minutes!
Happy Reading!
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.
