Dear Incoming Kindergarten Families,
We are excited to welcome you and your incoming Kindergarten student to Ridges Elementary!
The beginning of the school year looks a bit different for Kindergarten students as we welcome our newest students. First, you and your incoming Kindergarten student(s) are invited to a 90-minute Kindergarten Orientation session on August 26th. This will be a time for students and their parents/caregivers to meet staff, tour the school, learn about key rules and procedures, and drop off school supplies (Ridges Supply List for 25-26 School Year / List de Utiles Escolares – Espanol). Times are scheduled by last name alpha.
August 26th Kindergarten Orientation Times
- 8:00 AM – 9:30 AM
- Ridges last names starting with A-G
- 10:00 AM – 11:30 AM
- Ridges last names starting with H-P

Childcare is available for siblings of incoming Kindergarten students for the duration of the 90-minute session. If childcare is needed, use this form to register.
