First Week of School

 North Ridge Families, 

Happy First day of school! I hope our 1st-5th grade students had a fantastic first day of school. 

WCPSS Sign-in Application

Please be prepared to check into the Wake County Visitor Management System each time you enter the building. You will need to have your phone and photo ID readily available. There are QR Codes outside our front doors. Please scan the code and follow the prompts to begin the sign in process. Once cleared, ring the doorbell, state your name and ask for access to the building. Report directly to the kiosk in the reception area to retrieve your Visitor Badge. You may then make your way to the reception desk and we will help you from there. 

Please DO NOT enter the building unless you have been verbally cleared by the front desk to do so. 

If you do not have access to your phone, please ring the doorbell and let us know you need to sign into the kiosk directly. Please then report directly to the kiosk to sign in. 

Please make sure to give yourself ample time to complete these steps. They are required of all visitors, regardless of reason for visit. 

Thank you for your patience as we navigate this new system alongside you. 

Volunteer Sign up 

Are you thinking of volunteering at school, hoping to chaperone a field trip or helping out in a classroom? Be sure to complete the volunteer application: https://www.wcpss.net/domain/42. This is to be completed yearly and now can be done at your home. Please contact the front office if you have any questions. 

Academics

Our students will be giving universal screening assessments at the beginning, middle and end of year. The students will be given mClass (k-3), NKT (math k-2), STAR Math (3-5). mClass will start next week. If you have questions please contact your child’s homeroom teacher. 

Social Emotional Learning Support 

The beginning of the school for some can be a hard transition that may take time to get into a routine. It will be important for your child to get enough sleep and eat enough to be their best daily. Please check out resources at https://sites.google.com/wcpss.net/northridgestudentservices/home?pli=1 and feel free to contact your child’s classroom teacher or one of our counselors if you have any questions or would like assistance.
