Families,

We as the North Ridge staff are so thankful for the wonderful partners we have here at our incredible school.
We are so thankful for our PTA that provides us with an abundant amount of resources that include teaching materials, professional development to enhance our core (Reading, Math, Science and Social Studies) instructional, and the delicious treats throughout the year and the list goes on and on!
Finally, we are thankful for all of the wonderful families that we have the opportunity to serve daily in this magnificent learning environment. Our families allow us to work with the very best students and to provide them the opportunity to develop individual talents as well as demonstrate academic, creative, and social growth in order to become productive, responsible citizens.
This truly is a place that builds World Changers!
Heartfelt THANKS for you all,
North Ridge Elementary School Family

Social Emotional Learning Support
At North Ridge Elementary, we use the structures in Conscious Discipline to provide a safe, welcoming learning environment for all students. Here is a link to more information - https://consciousdiscipline.com/methodology/ - CD is an Adult First Model, which means we have to be our best selves to serve and teach our students. Throughout the school year we will share more information about the structures.
