Grand Ridge
To our Grand Ridge Families:
Thank you SO much for your partnership during the Orange Ruler Fundraiser. Your contributions will allow us to more fully support our students in all areas of their school day. Wednesday morning we had our Orange Ruler Pig Race and Ms. Karr’s class’ pig was the winner! The crowd went wild for the entire race, cheering all pigs and all classes on! Talk about school spirit!
During our lunch recesses we had our Orange Ruler Fun Run. As you can see from the photos, everybody had a GRAND time!
Thank you PTSA volunteers for all you did to make this happen. We appreciate the countless hours you spend in support of our students.
Go Grizzlies!
Dear Families:
We are noticing at dismissal that your children, once released to your care, are running through our landscape beds, climbing light poles and running along elevated fence lines, both in front of the school and in back near Grand Central. We want your kids to remain SAFE. Please keep your kids out of these spaces for their safety and well-being, as well as out of respect for our landscaping and structures. Thank you.

Principal
On Wednesday, October 30th, your child/ren will have the opportunity to dress up for our Fall-o-ween/Harvest Costume Spirit Day! Your child/ren’s teacher will be reaching out about specifics but please know this is just like any other Spirit Day; dress up if you’d like but know it’s purely optional.
Please see guidelines below, in terms of what is/is not appropriate wear for school. Your child/ren will come to school in their costume, unless otherwise noted by your child/ren’s teacher.
Dear Grand Ridge Community:
Here we are again! Another GRAND year in the books! And what a year it has been! So much learning and so much fun. We have built community, we have grown as learners and we have made memories. Here are just a few of the highlights:
If your child/ren will be riding a bike or scooter onto our campus, they MUST wear a helmet!!
