Dear Slate Ridge Families,
We had a fantastic professional development this week where our teachers dove into our new curriculum, shared best practices, and worked together to make our learning environment even more nurturing and conducive for our students.
Thank you to all who participated in our parent survey. We reviewed your responses carefully with our admin team, and we're committed to addressing the suggestions brought up. Field trips, communication about student progress, and homework were highlighted, and I’ve included our tentative field trip schedule below. I’ve also spoken with our staff about improving communication and homework practices.
We’re always striving to make Slate Ridge better. You’re always welcome to stop by for a one-on-one meeting with us. We value your input and appreciate your support.
Warm regards,
Dr. Parlar

AM Arrival 9:10-9:20am - Enter from Taylor Rd., pull through the car rider loop, and drop students along the sidewalk in the pickup/drop zone. Exit through the neighborhood. Students will enter the building through the back gym entrance. Students arriving after 9:20am will be marked tardy and must be signed in by a parent/guardian at the front office.
Our Positive Behavioral Interventions & Support (PBIS) program plays a crucial role in fostering a positive and safe environment for our students. We emphasize consistent language between staff and families to help our students grow. This October, our focus is on integrity, with weekly themes including honesty, trustworthiness, and dependability. Students practice these traits with the support of their peers, teachers, our School Counselor, and Social Worker. If you have any questions or want to learn more, please reach out to your student's teacher.
Did you know that every night in the U.S., an estimated 600,000 people live on the streets? Did you know that socks are the least donated items to shelters? For those reasons, Slate Ridge is collecting socks for Socktober! If you would like to help, please send in new socks (any size or color) with your students during the month of October. Our goal is to collect 400 pairs of socks! If we reach our goal, we will have a crazy sock day and dance party in classrooms at the end of the month. Please help us reach our goal!
