February 6 - 10

 North Ridge Families, 

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

Celebrating our Counselors Week

 Let's show our appreciation for Mrs. Allen and Mr. Pendleton this week. Feel free to have your child (or yourself) write a note, email or card to show your thanks to all they do for our school daily!  

Student Wellness (Sick policy)

We are in the cold and flu season and still experiencing positive Covid cases in the community. The best thing you can do is to keep your children home when sick. This will help stop the spread of illness to other children and staff. Please read this message from our school nurse on When my child should stay home. It is important for all of us to work to keep our school family safe! 

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. 

Supporting Students 

From time to time our Student Service Team will be completing surveys and check-in with students to monitor the support they will need to provide to create a safe learning environment. Here is the updated Student Service Team Site: https://sites.google.com/wcpss.net/northridgestudentservices/home
