RIDGE CREST ELEMENTARY
MESSAGE FROM THE PRINCIPAL
Dear Parents and Students,
We are embarking on another amazing year here in Blackfoot and at Ridge Crest Elementary. I am excited and grateful to be starting my next chapter at such an outstanding school. Ridge Crest has had the reputation of having the best students, staff and families. This reputation is exciting to a new coming principal and a big part of why I am here.
As in years past our school will be focusing on building knowledge, showing growth and being good citizens. A major part of that is being Eagles that S.O.A.R. (Safe, Orderly, Accountable, and Respectful). As students learn and practice these attributes they will not only grow as scholars but they grow as people. We will continue to use these attributes to know and exemplify the expectations of the different areas of the school as we interact together. It is our goal that students develop lifelong skills socially, physically and academically.
To extend that goal we also take on ourselves the district theme of the year T.E.A.M.S. This acronym stands for: Together Everyone Achieves Maximum Success. As educators at Ridge Crest we believe ALL students can learn at high levels. This knowledge comes from the idea that the product is greater than the sum of its parts. We as a group of students, staff members, parents and stakeholders together equal a greater outcome for the success of our students.
We appreciate all of your support. A huge part of this support is our Parent Teacher Association (PTA). We ask that you reach out to this organization to assist our school. Seek ways to provide support with your time and talents. These efforts are invaluable to our students in their time here at Ridge Crest.
If you have questions feel free to reach out to your student’s teachers. They are the best source of support for you and your student’s needs. My door is always open as well for your inquiries. Thank you for all you do to support our school and I look forward to meeting you in the near future.
Sincerely,
Cory Loveland
