Ride Connection
Dear Challenger Families,
Welcome back! I hope your family has had a wonderful summer filled with time to relax, make memories, and enjoy being together. We are so excited to kick off another school year, and I truly cannot wait to see all of our Challengers back at Ride.
Our teachers have been working hard to get their classrooms ready, and I wish you could see all the love and care that has gone into preparing for your children. We have an incredible staff that is excited to welcome your family and make this the best year yet.
I hope you'll join us for Meet the Teacher on Monday from 4:30–6:00 p.m. It's one of my favorite nights of the year because our building comes back to life. Seeing students walk the halls, meeting new families, and catching up with returning ones reminds us why we love what we do.
A few reminders before Monday:
- If you ordered school supplies through EPI, they'll already be waiting in your child's classroom.
- If you purchased your own supplies, you're welcome to bring them with you to Meet the Teacher.
- If you didn't receive your teacher's welcome email on Thursday afternoon, don't worry. We'll have your child's classroom assignment ready for you when you arrive.
- Please complete your child's Transportation Form so we'll know how they will be getting home each day.
- Be sure to sign up for Home Access Center so you can stay up to date with important school information throughout the year.
Thank you for choosing Ride and for trusting us with your children. We know that sending your child to school is a big deal, and we don't take that trust lightly. Our goal is for every student to feel safe, loved, challenged, and excited to come to school each day.
This year our theme is Deep in the Heart of Ride: Elevating Excellence, and we look forward to working alongside you to help every Challenger grow through Commitment, Connection, and Character.
Thank you for being part of the Ride family. We are grateful for your partnership, and we can't wait to see you Monday evening!
We can't wait to see your smiling faces very soon!
With love and excitement,
Laura Collins
Principal, Ride Elementary
