A Note from the Principal
Hello Ranger Families!
Spring is here! The last two months of school will be fast paced, full of learning, and fun!
Our 3rd, 4th, and 5th grade students will be taking STAAR tests this month. Please see below for the dates for each test. Help support your child by ensuring they get enough rest the night before the test and a good breakfast the day of testing. Please note - To support a secure, calm, and stable testing environment, the campus will be closed to visitors on the days of STAAR testing. Thank you for your understanding.
In partnership,
Stephani Grisham
Timber Ridge ES Principal
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!
Cafeteria Visitors
We love welcoming families to join their children for lunch! To ensure a safe and orderly environment for all students, we ask that visiting parents remain at the designated parent tables and not approach student lines or other student tables. Instead, an adult working in the cafeteria can assist you in getting your student to join you at the table. These procedures are necessary to help us maintain security, protect student privacy, and keep the cafeteria running smoothly for everyone.
Additionally, at no time should visitors leave the cafeteria with their child. If parents want to sign out their student, they need to let the student return to class. The parent will go to the office to sign out the student and have the child called to the office. Please do not go to the classrooms.
Thank you for your understanding and cooperation in helping us keep our school safe and organized

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.
