As Aspen Ridge prepares to welcome students this fall, we're also building something just as exciting—our very first Parent Teacher Organization (PTO)! Our Parent Advisory Committee (PAC) has been helping lay the foundation for family involvement, and there's still time to join! Whether you'd like to volunteer, share ideas, or simply stay informed, we'd love to have you involved.


Interim PTO Board

To establish our nonprofit organization, open a bank account, and begin fundraising for our students and staff, we will be appointing a small group of interim PTO board members this summer. These appointments are temporary and will serve only until our official board elections are complete.


Interested in Serving on the PTO Board?

This fall, Aspen Ridge families will elect our inaugural PTO Board. We encourage anyone interested in serving in a leadership role to review the PTO Board Roles & Responsibilities and Board Term Length documents by clicking the document below. Be sure to review the PTO Election Timeline to the right for important dates, including the nomination period, candidate information, elections, and the transition to our elected PTO Board in January 2027.


We're excited to build this organization together and create traditions that will support Aspen Ridge students, staff, and families for years to come.

Car Rider Pro

Aspen Ridge Elementary is excited to pilot Car Rider Pro, a new dismissal system designed to make afternoon parent pickup safer, smoother, and more efficient. Using a vehicle hang tag, Car Rider Pro alerts staff when your vehicle arrives so your child is ready for pickup as you reach the loading area.


We're putting the finishing touches on our pickup procedures and will be sharing everything you need to know—including how the system works, how to receive your hang tag, pickup maps, and important family instructions—in the coming weeks.


Please watch your email and future Bear Essentials newsletters for updates as we prepare for a successful start to the school year!

We are seeking 32 patrol members who will serve on a weekly rotating schedule, with required training taking place on August 18 from 1:00–3:00 PM.


We encourage all interested students to apply and be part of this important leadership opportunity!

The finish line is officially in sight! It's exciting to see Aspen Ridge Elementary taking shape as construction crews make incredible progress each day.


Inside the building, the Learning Studios are in the final stages of completion, classroom furniture is arriving and being installed, and the gym floors are now being installed—bringing our spaces to life and making them feel like a school ready to welcome students.
