Ridgeview Elementary School

Smiles for miles! Picture day, parent and teacher conferences, short week and lots of great weather! It was a good week at Ridgeview!

📚 A knowledge-based ELA program helps students read and write about the same topics, which deepens their understanding and builds stronger connections. By exploring ideas through both reading and writing, students gain the background knowledge, vocabulary, and confidence they need for long-term success. 🌟 #RidgeviewReads #KnowledgeIsPower
