Welcome to another exciting year at Centre Ridge Elementary. Our theme this year is Start Strong. We are proud of our students and all of their accomplishments last year as they continued to make consistent gains in their achievement. While exploring new ideas, we will persist in utilizing the strategies that have been so successful such as Jump Start Centre Ridge, PBS, Mentoring and our focus on instructional strategies and interventions within our Professional Learning Communities. Our PTA continues to be a strong advocate for our children, providing them with classroom technologies in the form of Smart Boards while supporting phenomenal cultural arts programs and field trips. We hope that everyone in the community will join our PTA and be active participants in this partnership of success. As usual, each year brings new faces to our learning community and this year we welcome Suzanne Abner (K), Josh Mintus (4th), Meghan Reed (4th), Cindy Sealy (Math Resource), Tammy French (Art), Carli Surak (Counselor), Melissa Holincheck (Psychologist) and Andrew Kim (Custodian). We look forward to your visits and the excitement of having another successful year at Centre Ridge.
