Dr. Parlar, Principal

Dear Slate Ridge Families,

We’ve just completed our second round of parent-teacher conferences, and it was wonderful to connect with so many of you. Report cards were sent home with your students this week. If you haven’t received yours, please contact the office, and we’ll happily print one for you.

We’re excited to see everyone at our Trunk or Treat event next week on Tuesday, October 29, at 5 PM. It’s sure to be a fun evening for all!

Thank you for your continued support.

Sincerely,

Dr. Parlar

This weeks' Positive Office Referral Winners!

Our Positive Office Referral winners have earned their prizes and recognition by exemplifying the RISE expectations—showing responsibility, integrity, self-control, and engagement.

2nd and 7 program

2nd grade once again this year got a visit from the 2nd and 7 program. We met athletes from Otterbein and OSU who play volleyball and basketball and are synchronized swimmers. They encouraged our second graders to be lifelong readers and work hard in everything they do. Every student got a book and were told they could receive a McDonald Happy Meal after reading 7 books.

Ambassadors

Our ambassadors had a great meeting this week and chose "Ghostbusters" as their costume theme for Trunk or Treat! All ambassadors will be dressing up, and Ms. Breese kindly volunteered to decorate her car to match. We're asking ambassadors to stay after school on Tuesday, October 29, to help prepare for the event. If you prefer not to give permission, they will be dismissed as usual. We're so excited for Tuesday and can't wait to see the fun come together!

Literacy Corner

A Reading Improvement and Monitoring Plan (RIMP) is a document that Ohio schools and districts use to help students who are not reading on grade level.

The purpose of a RIMP is a collaboration between teachers and parents to identify a student's reading challenges and develop a plan to help them improve.

Please watch the video below to learn more about the Reading Improvement and Monitoring Plans and how they support students so they can become successful readers.

PBIS at SRES

Our Positive Behavioral Interventions & Support (PBIS) program is central to fostering a positive and safe environment for our students. We emphasize consistent language between staff and families to support student growth. This November, our focus is on citizenship, with students practicing what it means to be responsible, respectful members of our community. They will develop this trait 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.
