Principal Message
Dear Ride Families,
This week was a great week at Sally K. Ride Elementary -- We had the 100th day of school! Our Kn dressed up as 100 yr old people. The 4th grade students were able to attend a good ole traditional Pep Rally at College Park High School. First Grade will celebrate the 101st Day of School on Monday, January 29th. Wear polka-dots for 101 Dalmatians,
I would also like to thank all of the parents who have provided snacks for the teachers. They are always available in the teacher workroom and restocked as much as possible. Teachers like any kind of snack - healthy snacks, junk snacks, sweet snacks, salty snacks, lol - literally all kinds... And a special shout out to Mrs. Cummings for coordinating the special treats. This week we were treated with a "Trail Mix Bar". The teachers absolutely loved it!!
Sometimes it is the smallest act of kindness or gesture that reenergizes us and releases even more positivity. As well as, doing nice things of others boosts your feelings of satisfaction and well-being. We call that a win-win for everyone!!
Thank you so much for taking care of the teachers at Sally K. Ride so well. We are very grateful to work in such a thoughtful and caring community.
The 2023-2024 Sally K. Ride Challenger annual yearbook is on sale and will only be available through the month of February. Be sure to reserve your copy today by going to the Balfour website to order. You may also purchase fourth grade Ads and have the book personalized. Such a great memory for the kids.
Teachers are completing the Middle of the Year (MOY) assessments this week. It is a great opportunity to see the academic growth from the beginning of the Year (BOY) assessments. You can contact your child’s teacher and they will be happy to review it with you.
Have a great weekend,
Sincerely,
Megan Burnham

Lunch Sign-Up
Due to limited seating in the cafeteria, we are offering two options for lunch signups. You will have the opportunity to sign up to eat in the cafeteria with your child or outside in our gazebo/picnic table area. You will not be able to change locations after signup is complete. If you sign up to eat outside and it rains, you will be unable to move into the building due to limited seating. You may sign up for another day/time.
Each slot is available for two adults and the child you are eating lunch with..
Please see the schedule below for designated grade level lunch visitor’s days. Make sure that you sign up under the correct time slot for your child’s lunchtime. Each student may have two visitors every 3-4 weeks.This ensures every parent has an opportunity to sign up. Remember to bring a valid id when you visit the building.
Due to limited seating in the cafeteria, we are asking all parents with small children to eat outside in the gazebo area.
