Welcome to 2011-12!!!

Most of us parents are probably in the same place today - figuring out what else we need to do to get our kiddos ready for SCHOOL TOMORROW!!! Summer has flown by, and school is here again! Our teachers and staff are at school getting ready for the open house this afternoon, where we will be filing in this afternoon to make sure our children know where their class is, drop off school supplies, fill out paperwork, sign up to volunteer, re-connect with parents we may not have seen over the summer, and then head out only to be back tomorrow morning for the FIRST DAY OF SCHOOL!!

The Forest Ridge PTC is looking forward to another great year! It's a Parent Teacher Club, which at its simplest means... we are here for each other! We are a community of parents and teachers committed to giving our best to our students to prepare them to be the best they can be! The partnership between home and school is vital, and PTC hopes to continue to be a part of that connection through volunteering, fundraising and communication. We hope you will plan to come to PTC meetings (typically the 1st Monday night of the month @ 6 pm at school - childcare provided) this year. And watch this blog for information this year on school events, ways to volunteer, tips of resources and websites, and other information that parents and teachers would love to know!! And coming soon.... (drumroll please...) our Facebook page!! Watch for a link to that when it's set-up!
