January/February Update
January 22, 2025: A newsletter for Pine Ridge Families
📣 Families! Here's What's Happening:
This is an exciting time for Pine Ridge School. We are now in our last 1/2 stretch of the 24-25 school year. This newsletter is to provide you with some current news, a few updates, and upcoming dates that you will want to make note of.
As always, if you have any questions or concerns, please reach out to your child's teacher or to the office. We are here for you!
🙌 Weekly Shout-Outs
Bus Awards
Students who follow bus expectations are weekly awarded by our awesome bus driver! Thanks for keeping our kids safe.
Panthers Rock the Ridge
Pine Ridge was the spotlight at this month's board meeting. We certainly DO Rock the Ridge.
Stage
Did you know that we have a new stage in the works? It is almost done, and we can't wait to perform!
Did You Know?
Did you know that our students take a monthly "survey" so that we can be aware of socio-emotional needs. This survey is called Kelvin, and it comes up on their Chromebooks once a month. I'd like to share the following comparison data which shows how we are progressing in our support of students and in providing a safe environment conducive to learning. In addition, you will note that we have some work to do about supporting students who exhibit anger and how to support regulation of this emotion.
