Eagle Ridge- eThursday Folder
August, 14, 2025
Message From the Principal
It’s a great day to be an Eagle!
It’s been an incredible first week of school! The hallways have been filled with laughter, curiosity, and a positive energy that sets the tone for a fantastic year ahead. Watching students greet old friends, form new friendships, and step into new opportunities has been nothing short of inspiring.
From the excitement of learning in the classroom to the joy of playing together at recess, our students are already showing kindness, teamwork, and a love of learning. We are seeing students explore different activities, embrace challenges, and support one another—reminding us all why our community is so special.
Thank you for sharing your amazing children with us and for your partnership in helping them grow. We are looking forward to a year filled with new discoveries, lasting friendships, and countless moments to celebrate.
New Library Looks!

From the Counselor's Corner
Welcome back, Eagles!
The Eagle Ridge Counseling Department, Linda Lieber and Laura Miller, extend a warm welcome back to all parents and students for the 25-26 school year! We are confident it will be a year where your student excels, feels connected, and makes so many foundational memories.
This year, Eagle Ridge, in partnership with Douglas County School District, is excited to implement weekly social emotional learning lessons through the K-12 Social Emotional Learning (SEL) curriculum, Wayfinder. In order to foster student belonging and connectedness in school, these lessons will focus on building community, confidence, and connection through games, art, and student to student conversation. Until October, the district-wide SEL focus will be on bully-prevention and intervention.
Please keep your eyes on your classroom newsletter for further parent information and updates throughout the course of the school year. Should you have any questions, please reach out to our Wayfinder Lead, Ms. Miller, at lmiller5@dcsdk12.org
Again, welcome back to school! We look forward to a wonderful year!
School Hours
School hours are from 8:35-3:30, daily. We will open the doors at 8:30 am, for students to come in and go to their classrooms. After 8:40 am, parents will need to walk their child into the building, to check in at the front office. At the end of the day, students will be escorted out of the building, unless attending our Eagle Care BASE Program.
NO Pets on School Property
We wanted to send a friendly reminder that we are NOT allowed to have pets on school property. We understand that drop off and pick-up are perfect times to take them for a walk. If you need to walk your pet, please wait off campus for your child to come to you. Thank you for your support and understanding!
Parking Lot Safety
Student safety is our #1 priority and concern!
Please use the crosswalk when crossing the street
When entering the parking lot, be patient and alert
NO PARKING or leaving your car in the car loop/hug & drop zone
If you plan on getting out of your car, please find a parking spot (either in our school lot OR across the street in the Church parking lot)
Please do NOT let students out of your cars until you have pulled up to our “hug and drop zone” (in the front of the school) where staff are available to help
If possible, have your child on the right/passenger side of the car, so when they get out, they aren’t in the street
