A new afterschool program is coming to 5th grade girls at River Ridge Elementary school in the fall of 2025. Our goal is to plant seeds of character and grow a community where every girl belongs and is treated with integrity.

KARDIVAS will meet on campus Thursdays after school from 2:45-3:45pm October - April.

Registration will open in the fall. Please see attached for more information about this opportunity.

Dear Parents/Guardians,

This is a friendly reminder to pick up your student’s medications from the clinic by May 22nd. Medications can be picked up between 7:10 AM and 3:00 PM.

The final opportunity for medication pick-up will be on May 23rd by 11:00 AM. After this time, any remaining medications will be disposed of in accordance with district policy. Please note that medications will not be stored over the summer.

Additionally, please be aware that a line is likely on the last day of school, so plan accordingly if you plan to pick up your student’s medication that day.

Thank you for your attention to this matter.

Update!!🚨

USED Household batteries (AAA, AA, coin cell, button batteries) are also recycled at the Recycling Reuse Drop Off Center. In addition to the plastic bags, you will now find a battery collection box that students can place them in that is inside a red container that all sits on top of a red seated stool. Please see the picture below. Thank you for converging with us on this environmental mission

If you are interested in volunteering at any time during this project, or any projects related to recycling or reusing materials, please contact me at: Tiffany.Horton2@leanderisd.org. Thank you!!

Dear Families,

Thank you for your continued support and engagement in your child's education. I wanted to inform you that we will no longer be accepting book drop-offs at the front office. That system has become more of a hindrance than a benefit for our school library operations. Instead, students will need to bring their books back and forth to school to help foster responsibility among them.

Each grade level has a rolling crate that goes back and forth every day. Students will drop off books in the morning to ensure that other students can check out previously checked-out books throughout the day. If your child forgot their book the previous day, have them drop it off in the grade level crate to ensure it's returned.

With our schedule, students come at the same time and day each week, making this process more streamlined. If you haven't already signed up for reminders, please text the following message to 81010 to join our reminders:

Tuesday Library- @rrdglibtu

Wednesday Library- @rrdglibwed

Thursday Library- @rrdglibth

Friday Library- @rrdglibfri

Thank you!

Thank you for being the steady, patient, and hilarious force that keeps us going. Your dedication to teachers, your unwavering commitment to our students, and your deep love for this campus shine through in everything you do. You show up every day—ready to help, ready to lead, and always ready to make us laugh (even when we don’t realize how much we need it). Not to mention, I love the way you say words in your Katie way!

Even when the road gets tough, you never give up. You keep pushing for what’s best for our campus, even when it’s hard—especially when it’s hard. And somehow, through all of that, you manage to put up with me on a daily basis (which is truly its own skillset)!

We’re all better because of you. Thank you for being our coach, our cheerleader, and our example of what true commitment looks like.

Registration begins on April 1st.
