River Ridge is excited to welcome our new School Resource Officer, Jason Kelly. Officer Kelly is already busy meeting students and making sure our school is safe and secure. If you see him in the car line or out and about, give him a warm RRES welcome!

Great news! Grownups can join students for lunch in the cafeteria starting on September 2nd. You will need to sign in as a visitor in the office and sit at the family tables in the cafeteria with your student.

Teamwork makes the dream work! Mrs. Huss' class worked together to sort cause and effect after reading “Clark the Shark” .

Mrs. Cleveland's class played the card game war to practice comparing numbers. The player with the most dots on their card got to keep both cards. They played until someone ends up with all the cards. Playing with a purpose helps us learn!

Our Independence Day was a great success! Our K5 students did a fantastic job of coming in on their own and heading straight down the hallway to their classrooms.

Mrs Cobb’s ELA classes got a library refresh on Friday with some library mapping! After the activity, they checked out their first library books of the school year.

We want to recognize our wonder Lunchroom Monitors and give them a big thanks for all they do everyday for our students!
