Slate Ridge Weekly Newsletter

Slate Ridge Elementary is committed to nurturing young minds and fostering lifelong learning while cultivating an inclusive and engaging school environment where all students develop social and emotional competence and problem solving skills to facilitate experiences for future success.

We believe every child can learn to read with the right instruction and support. Guided by the Science of Reading, our team is committed to explicit teaching, consistent practices, and timely intervention to ensure all students leave elementary school as strong, confident readers.

It was great to see so many of our families at conferences this past week! Thank you for taking the time to connect with us about your child’s progress. If you missed this round, don’t worry! Our next conferences are on October 15th, and you can still sign up. We look forward to seeing more of our Toucan families!

Have a great weekend!

Warmly,

Dr. Parlar, Principal
