West Ridge Elementary Newsletter

Hello West Ridge Families!!!

Happy New Year!!!!

Please remember there is no school on Monday, January 20th in honor of Martin Luther King. There is also no school Friday, January 24th....so next week is a 3 day school week for students.

We just wanted to send a reminder to please give flowers, balloons, stuffed animals or large Valentine or Birthday items to your child at home. We are unable to deliver items to classrooms and the items are not allowed on the bus.

Midyear reminder...Students can bring water bottles with a lid to school. We ask that all sodas, energy drinks, and coffees stay at home. Thank you for your help with this.

Reminders:

• If you drop your student(s) off in the morning, please pull all the way foward so the entrance is not blocked. Thank you for your help with this.
• As the wet weather is upon us, please consider sending extra socks or clothing for your students in their backpacks. We do not always have extras here at school.
• This is the time of year our lost and found fills up quickly. Please label your students coats, lunch boxes, backpacks, water bottles, sweatshirts, gloves and hats. When items are labeled, we are able to get them returned to their owner.
• Once a month we will have a fire drill. This gives students and staff a chance to practice evacuating the building in case of an emergency.
• Four times a year we will have a practice lockdown. Again, this gives us a chance to practice in case of an emergency.
• Students are informed when we will be having a drill.

Thank you,

Ms. Hoffeld
