Meet Our Teachers/PTA
Our Kindergarten TeamOur Kindergarten teachers collaborate closely to create lessons that are hands-on, highly engaging and interactive. We use data-driven and scientifically proven strategies to tailor our instruction to each individual child’s needs. Through morning meetings, play, and small groups, students build a school family. We create activities to promote students to develop friendships and strengthen their social, emotional and problem-solving skills.
Our goal is to build strong foundational skills for all students. We prepare students for the future through lessons that develop strong phonemic awareness, number sense, and early writing skills. Our dynamic Kindergarten team is excited to meet our new group of Kindergarteners and build their love of learning! Learn more about our Kindergarten Team from the Kindergarten website. |
Our TeachersAny organization is only as strong as the people in that organization. We are well aware of this fact and take great pride in our expert teaching force. North Ridge has a supportive administration and a family-like culture. Because of this strong reputation, teachers want to work at North Ridge. We dedicate ample time and energy to the hiring process, making sure we identify the best and brightest to bring on board. Once they come, they usually stay. We have a very low turnover rate. We have an experienced teaching force with most teaching over ten years, and many having advanced degrees. The staff at North Ridge is focused on building strong relationships with students and delivering quality instruction each day. Learn about our Teachers on the NRES School website and hear what they think about North Ridge on our Testimonial page. |
