Hello Laurel Ridge Family! It’s been a great week here at the Ridge. Please join me in welcoming Dr. Marable to the staff. Dr. Marable will be joining the 4th-grade team and taking over math instruction for the grade level. Ms. Martin will continue with English Langauge Arts and Ms. Delgado will be continuing with Science and taking over Social Studies. Ms. Clary will continue to support students in all content areas. Fourth-grade parents will receive a letter tomorrow about homeroom changes. Students will begin in new homeroom groups on Wednesday, November 8. Welcome, Dr. Marable!
