RIDGECREST ROAR Feb. 13th, 2022
Good evening Ridgecrest families,
It has been so nice to come to school in the mornings with the sun already up! It gives us hope that spring really is coming. Happy Valentine’s Day! We are so excited to be celebrating in our classes tomorrow.
School Information
Parent Teacher Conferences – Parent teacher conferences will be held Monday, Feb. 28th through Thursday, March 3. These appointments will mostly be virtual, however, if you would prefer to meet in person, we would be happy to arrange that for you. Sign-ups for these meetings are now available on a first come first serve basis. The instructions for signing up can be found here.Parent Instructions to Schedule PTC.docx
Kindergarten Registration – If you have a child that will be five years of age on or before September 1, 2022, the child qualifies for kindergarten this fall. State law requires that all school districts in Utah abide by the same September 1st entrance cut-off date.
If you have an incoming kindergarten student, please begin the registration process by following the steps outlined on our website. The link can be found here.
Intent to Return – Please help us to better plan for the next school year by completing the Intent to Return form if you are not planning to return to Ridgecrest next year. A paper form was sent home earlier. There is also a digital option for you found here. Please complete one or the other.
Zones of Regulation – This week, we are learning about a strategy called “Size of the Problem”. We experience problems throughout our day that are all different sizes. When we have a problem, it is helpful if our reaction matches the size of the problem. Some problems can be solved on our own, and for some problems we need a little help. Miss Allie explains this more in this week’s video: https://screencast-o-matic.com/watch/c3nXDZVbVPS
For Parents/Guardians:
Champions Day Care Program: We are pleased to announce that Champions, an after-school daycare program, is using Ridgecrest as a host site through the rest of this school year, and they still have available spots! Please read the attached letter for more information. Champions Program and Pricing Flyer – Editable – Print.pdf
