February 13 - 17

 North Ridge Families, 

I hope that your week is off to a great start! Here are the weekly updates for North Ridge Elementary 

After Care for the 2023-2024 school year

For multiple reasons (hiring staff, student ratios, wait list, content) North Ridge ES will be moving from an in-house after school care program to partnering with the YMCA (Finley) after school program. If you have been utilizing our in-house After Care program, please complete this 2 question survey - 23-24 After Care Program interest form

Book Fair 

Students will preview/shop with their class during Media Specials between Feb 9th and Feb 17th and complete a "wish list" of books that interest them.

This year will we also be bringing back Family Night - Wednesday Feb 15th 4-7pm

Please join us to shop the Book Fair after hours. Inspired by our PAWS for BOOKS theme, we will also be collecting monetary donations to support one of our local Dog Rescues. We will have volunteers from Saving Grace onsite and with puppies, yes, PUPPIES to greet and snuggle (from 5-6:30pm) as we raise money for this local shelter that helps so many dogs!

WE hope to see you at NRES on Wednesday! 

Technology / Common Sense Media Support for families 

Have you wondered if a book is good for your child’s age --- is my child too young to play a game - https://www.commonsensemedia.org/ is a great resource that provides parents and guardians with information about the ratings of books, movies, games and more. We will continue to highlight different aspects of this site.
