Hello West Ridge Elementary Cougar Families!!
Thank you to all of our Grandparents that came out for Grandparents' breakfast. The event was a huge success!!! We loved seeing all of our Grandparents!
Our Fundraiser was out of this world. Our school will receive about $15,000 to help with purchasing items for our playground.
The Book Fair was also outstanding and we will be able to purchase many new books for our library.
Reminders:
We need your help!! As a friendly reminder, sodas are not allowed at school...unless the teacher asks for soda for a class party. Please do not send soda with your student to school. Thank you for your help with this.
We will be asking to see your Driver's License when you enter the building, please have it ready to hold up to the camera when you enter.
Office hours are 8:00-4:00 Monday-Friday.
