Principal Message
Dear Ride Parents,
What a great week this week!! We had one of our best 1st grade programs, ZooTown, we've ever seen. Mrs. Dimas just keeps getting better and better at getting the kids to perform at high levels. The 1st graders were singing, using hand movements, and playing instruments. They were even doing some round robin singing.
Our 23-24 Field Day was a huge success! A huge Thank You to Ms. Hodge and Mr. Hernandez for their attention to detail, organizing, and picking games the kids would love. This was Ms. Hodge's 20th field day and you can tell it was organized by a professional.
This weekend is Mother’s Day and we hope you celebrate the important person you have called mom whether they are here with us or in our hearts and memories. As we grow up and become moms ourselves, we realize just much our mom did for us (and how much we do) to keep our day-to-day life running so smoothly. Now that we are grownup, I am in awe of my Mom and appreciate her making my childhood such a special one! I hope you have a wonderful weekend getting celebrated!

Gifted Talented Summer Testing
Nomination window for summer gifted and talented testing is April 1st - April 30th.. This testing is for students that are new to Ride in 2023- 2024 school year and did not have an opportunity to be nominated by parent or teacher for Spring Testing. Please stop by the front office to pick up a nomination form.
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.
