News From the Ranch - October 17, 2012

Praises to Our Wonderful Volunteers

A big YEE HAW to our wonderful PTA who provided our staff  with a sports-themed lunch.   We enjoyed hot dogs, chili, chips, popcorn and much more!  We know that with your busy schedules, it is a true act of your commitment to us, and we are so very grateful and appreciative for all you do to make us feel valued, loved and appreciated.  Thanks to all who donated the yummy food!

Thank you to our Watchdog dads who consistently volunteer their time to support us.  You Rock Dads!

Perfect Attendance Drawing
At the end of the 2012-2013 school year, each student with perfect attendance (zero tardies and zero absences) will go into a drawing for a BIG prize (Examples may include a bicycle, I-Pad, I-Pod Shuffle, etc...).  Help ensure your child is our perfect attendance winner at the end of the year by sending your child to school everyday and by getting him/her to school on time each day.  We do understand that illnesses and emergencies arise, and we ask that you follow our policy of keeping your child at home when sick and with fever.  We plan on making this a new tradition, so if your child doesn't make it this year, he/she will have future opportunities to work toward perfect attendance. 

Thanks for making North Ridge Ranch a Great Place to Be!
