Welcome Back!
Welcome back to school! It was great to meet everyone at the open house, see old friends, and make new ones. We’re so excited to be together again. This next year is going to be awesome!
The PTA has lots of exciting things planned for families and staff in the coming months. If you’re interested in helping out, let us know by clicking the "Join the PTA" button below which will take you to a simple survey to sign up.

Back to School Night

Back to School Night will be held at Spring Ridge Elementary on Wednesday, August 31st from 5:30-7:00pm. This is a chance to spend time with your children’s teachers and learn more about the coming year. And you’ll get another chance to come hang out at the PTA table and sign up if you haven’t already. Either way, be sure to swing by and see us for a sweet surprise!
We also expect to have spirit wear available on a limited basis before the online order forms are set up. So if you want to see what will be available, or are anxious to show your school spirit right away, come check out the designs and maybe grab a shirt or two!

Come to school and enjoy a pastry or two with your students. We're still working out the details. Perhaps you'd like to help do that? If so, come to the next PTA meeting!
