 North Ridge Families, 

I hope the first two weeks of school were a success for you and your child(ren). We had a great week minus Thursday’s change in our new schedule. Below are updates for this week at North Ridge Elementary.  

PTA: Let It Glow Family Dance Party 

Dust off those dancing shoes NRE Families, you will NOT want to miss out on a fun, family night of dancing. The first ever Unicorn LET IT GLOW family dance party. The fun will be on Friday September 22nd from 6:30pm-8pm in the gym. This event is intended for current North Ridge Students and their families.  Remember to wear your light colors so we glow up the dance floor. This is a free event with donations welcomed.

Math Enrichment Parent Volunteers

Grade levels are looking for parent volunteers that are interested in reviewing math enrichment lessons in preparation for meeting with flexible math groups once a week.  Our goal is to have one or two math enrichment parent volunteers for each grade level.  This would allow for parents to share the commitment.  A virtual information session will be held on Wednesday, September 13th from 10:00-10:30.  Please join us via this Google Meet code meet.google.com/dhp-rfrw-gqq to learn more about this volunteer opportunity.  If you have any questions, please email Sarah Durst at sdurst@wcpss.net or Meghan Sollars at msollars@wcpss.net. We appreciate your consideration! 

Welcome Back!! If you are able to donate items for our STEAM enrichment that would be wonderful!  A drop off box is located in the front office.  Thank you so much for the donations you have already provided!  Take care, ~Meghan Sollars

Social Emotional Learning Support 

The beginning of 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.
