Ride Connection
Dear Ride Families,
As we enter the new year, our teachers are diligently working to complete our middle-of-the-year assessments and celebrating the significant growth our students are making across all areas of learning. We are committed to providing a relevant and rigorous curriculum that encourages critical thinking, creativity, and lifelong learning. We are proud of each student’s progress and are continuously exploring ways to enrich and extend learning for all.
As we move forward, we want to emphasize the importance of attendance during this critical time. Regular attendance is essential for optimal learning, and we encourage you to make every effort to have your child at school and on time each day. Being late can be challenging for students, as it disrupts their focus and learning process. Additionally, with winter bringing its share of viruses and illnesses, please promote good eating and sleeping habits, as well as regular hand washing, to help keep our students healthy.
Thank you once again for the wonderful support you bring to our school community. Our success is a direct result of your involvement and teamwork. We take pride in our students, teachers, and school programs, and we are grateful for the strength of our community. Together, we will cultivate a supportive and inclusive environment that equips all students to learn at high levels.
Your feedback is incredibly important to us. We would love to hear your thoughts on our performance during the Fall semester.
Please take a moment to complete the Ride Elementary Parent Survey.
Thank you for your continued partnership!
Laura Collins & Angela Fonville

Keeping Youth Safe Online
Know:
Know what apps your child is using. Some apps are designed to hide photos and other content.
Know youth aren't where you think they are online. Once you, a parent/ guardian, are on a social site (Facebook, Instagram), your child has already found a newer, hipper one.
Know who your child's friends are online.
Know how much time your child is spending on their device and apps or games.
Safe gun storage is critical to preventing unintentional shootings, suicide, and other tragedies. Learn more about the Keep ‘Em Safe Texas initiative and view resources at the provided link. Gun locks are also available through the Conroe ISD Police Department.

School Zone Safety Tips
The speed limit in the Ride school zone is 20 mph. This is to ensure the safety of all of our community members during very busy times in the morning and afternoon. As families enter and exit the car line, please take care to drive slowly and carefully.
In addition, cell phone use in a school zone is prohibited. As you enter areas around schools, please end your calls and put your phone away.
The CISD Police and Montgomery County Sheriff's Department patrol our school zones to ensure everyone's safety, and will issue citations if necessary.
Thank you for your help in keeping our community safe!
Personal Google Chrome Profiles interfering with CISD Accounts and Applications
To assist in keeping the CISD Single Sign On (SSO) portal from interfering with personal Google accounts, it is best to either create an individual Google profile account for each user. Each CISD student would benefit in having their own Google User desktop shortcut.
Student accounts are not to be used for personal use, only for completing assignments. Please sit down and review with your student what is in their drive and delete any personal items.
CISD Parent Portal
The district has transitioned FROM Parent Access Center TO Parent Portal. You will login similar to the way your child does for school (similar to the SSO) to access school information. All parents/guardians will need to enroll to create an account. You will need the email address that is in your child’s record. Once you enter the email, you will be prompted to create a password.
Please click Parent Portal Directions for instructions or go to Conroe ISD Webpage then Parents/Students to access the link to the Parent Portal.
CANVAS
Canvas can be viewed as the virtual classroom. This is where assignments can be found. There are calendars, links to needed assignments, resources, a message center for students to send questions and comments to each teacher, and more. Students and parents can go into settings to be notified when announcements are sent out by teachers.
SSO - Single Sign-On - All CISD students must login through the SSO in order to access any of their online programs.
Having Difficulties Logging Into Parent Canvas Account?
Please remember that the exact same credentials are used to login to both the Parent Access Center (PAC) and CANVAS (which is case sensitive).
School Messenger
All SMS messages received from the Conroe ISD District Office and your child's campus will begin with "Conroe ISD:" and come from the subscribe code 67587. If you have not yet opted-in to receive SMS messages, you can do so at any time throughout the school year by texting "Y" to 67587.
