School Directory – HSA Dues
We are pleased to announce that GroupSpot will continue as the home of our mobile Ridge Directory. The Directory will be available by mid-October for those who have paid their HSA dues. The Directory contains contact details for students and families, staff and faculty, and important school information. If you haven’t downloaded GroupSpot already, visit the App store on your smartphone and download the app GroupSpot. Once you’ve created your account, search for Ridge Elementary School HSA and request to join. Once dues are paid and information is released by the District, you will receive access to the Ridge Directory (approximately mid-October). Your HSA Dues support student activities throughout the year and GroupSpot access is an added bonus. Our goal is 100% participation. Please pay your HSA Dues here
Red Zone
Please remember that the Red Zone is for students who can unbuckle their own seatbelts and open the car door by themselves in a timely manner. We ask that students be ready to exit when the car is stopped. Please have your student only exit from the passenger side in the marked Red Zone at drop off, and only enter your car in the Red Zone at pick up. Parents are not permitted to park in the Red Zone line and get out of vehicles, and children are not permitted to walk down the driveway and enter cars that are waiting for the Red Zone. The teacher parking lot is only for 4th and 5th grade students, not for parking and walking your children. Please wait for crossing guards to cross you. Be patient, no speeding or honking. To keep the Red Zone running we need to have help in the mornings and afternoons to ensure that rules are followed and to assist when needed. Please help us keep our kids safe by following these rules and by volunteering.
