Kindergarten Special Edition
Ridges Elementary | February 28, 2022
Welcome New Kindergarten Families
If you are a new family, I'd like to be the first to offer an official welcome to the Ridges community. If you are a returning family with a newly enrolled younger sibling, we are very happy to continue partnering with you to give your child the best educational experiences we can.
This special edition newsletter is to provide our new and returning families with the information you need to successfully start the school year with your soon-to-be Kindergarten student. You are always welcome to reach out by calling the Ridges front office at 503-825-5700.
Also, please feel free to share this newsletter with any families with a Kindergarten age child who may not have heard about Kindergarten registration. Thank you!

Kindergarten Open House
March 3 from 3:30 - 6:00
Ridges Elementary
Families should park in Edy side parking lot (south side) and look for signs to enter near the south side Edy front courtyard entrance. Sessions will start every 20 minutes, starting at 3:40. The last session will start at 5:40. Please arrive 5 to 10 minutes prior to the start of your preferred session.
While waiting for sessions to begin, families will be given a chance to meet representatives from the Parent Advisory Committee (PAC), learn about the on-site after school care option, take a picture in the self-serve photo area, and see a few parts of our school building.
Kinder Playdates - Coming Summer 2022
This summer, incoming Kindergarten families will have more opportunities to meet staff and other families at Kinder Playdates. Kinder Playdates are 1-hour play times on the Ridges playground. They include arts and crafts and an introduction to the Kindergarten teachers and school principal. Currently our Ridges playdates are set to be held from 5-6 pm on July 28th and August 16th. More information will be shared with all registered kindergarten families via email over the summer.
