Timber Ridge ES Monthly Newsletter

Hello, Ranger Families!

As we close out the first nine weeks, we are proud of the learning and growth taking place at Timber Ridge! Throughout October, teachers are scheduling parent conferences to share your child’s progress, celebrate strengths, and discuss next steps. Please watch for communication from your child’s teacher and make time for this important conversation.

Thank you for partnering with us to help every Ranger feel supported, challenged, and ready to succeed. We look forward to a wonderful October! 🎃✨

In partnership,

Stephani Grisham

Timber Ridge ES Principal

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 of the parent drop-off. 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!

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

🧡 October – Following Directions & Building Independence

This month, we are continuing to practice following directions and completing classroom routines. Students are working on listening to directions, completing tasks with appropriate supports, and increasing their independence. We are encouraging students to try tasks on their own before asking for help and celebrating their successes along the way!

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.
