The Explorer
News from Lake Ridge September Edition
HOME OF THE EXPLORERS
Hello, Lake Ridge family!
September is here and bringing many of our favorite fall community activities! Our Explorers have settled into new routines and have completed beginning of the year assessments. Now, we are digging into the 1st quarter standards and focusing on your child's specific areas of growth. Teachers will be reaching out to schedule parent/teacher conferences. Please make sure to attend this important meeting with your child's teacher so that you can partner in the educational efforts focused on your child.
We are excited to be bringing back Fall Festival! Please join us this Friday, September 6th from 5:00-8:00. This week is Spirit Week! Check the schedule below.
Our book fair is also right around the corner!
Please see the "SAVE THE DATES" section below and mark those dates on your personal calendar.
I wanted to extend my sincerest gratitude for the generosity you have shown as PTA stocked the lounge for our teachers! Thank you so much. Lake Ridge families are the best!
As always, know that I am here for you. If you have any questions, concerns, or kind thoughts, please feel free to share those with me!
Gratefully an Explorer,
Tiffany Hibbitts
Important Info: Safety Spotlights
Thank you for helping us prioritize safety for students with the requirement of dismissal tags and walker and car line locations. If you are in need of additional tags, please email your child's teacher and we will get those to you.
Dropping students off in the front parking lot is unsafe. Please use the carline or pull into a parking space.
Please leave the accessible spaces open for families with an accessibility tag.
As you leave the parking lot, please utilize turning right and going straight to prevent a delay in the flow of traffic at the entrance of the school.
