Pine Ridge Elementary is model school for PBIS (Positive Behavior Interventions and Supports) in our district! All of the proceeds of our fundraisers go toward supporting the PBIS Program! We are able to use these funds to purchase student incentives for our bear paw earners, battle of the busses, golden spork winners, and so much more! We can continue to be a model school and provide our students with the supports they need with your help! Please see the fundraiser information below!
It’s time for a PBIS fundraiser! Students, look for your BEAR PALS in the green swamp October 21st-25th to purchase fruit scented pens: $1.00 each OR 3 for $2.00!

Please mark your calendars for Curriculum Night.
Curriculum Night is where teachers present and discuss the curriculum, educational goals, and learning expectations for the academic year. It provides an opportunity for parents to learn about what their children will be studying, get to know their teachers, and ask questions. The aim is to foster communication and collaboration between teachers and parents, helping to enhance student learning and support.
We are excited to share the news that breakfast and lunch will continue to be FREE this school year for students.
Let's start each week with Positive Vibes only.
