Weekly Update
Hello Ranger Families!
It was a short, but busy week at Elk Ridge. It was fun to see all of the school spirit with fun outfits throughout the week and participation in our homecoming parade! Our first graders have been working with 5th grade reading buddies and it has been wonderful to see those connections grow. Teachers had time Thursday afternoon and Friday to increase their learning and to reflect on all of the amazing things our students are doing. Enjoy your weekend!
From the Health Room
The annual vision and hearing screening is on October 24th.
A reminder that ALL medications need to be kept in the health room. Students should not have medications in their backpack or lunch box to take at school. An authorization filled out by your LHCP is also required for medications to be at school.
If a change in your students health changes, please reach out to the Health room.
Contact Nurse Mara with any concerns at 360-829-5919 or mwyland@whiteriver.wednet.edu
Elk Ridge Bingo Night!
Tickets are free for students and their families, due to space limitations this is a ticketed event. Reserve your spots here:
Every month the classroom with the highest percentage of students at school wins our "Star Attendance" award and gets to choose a spirit day for that month. September's winners were Mrs. Huffman's first grade class. They chose a Sports Spirit Day on Friday, October 25th. Feel free to wear your sports gear on that day, please no sports equipment(helmets, bats, balls, etc.).
