Welcome to the Ridge Elementary School website! I am so glad you stopped in for a visit! Welcome to Ridge Elementary, home of all the first and second graders enrolled in the Bellevue City School District. The public elementary buildings are arranged by grade level and allow for same grade teachers to collaborate on a DAILY basis. Our young learners have highly qualified educators and a team of well trained support personnel ready to meet their needs.

Our students take an online assessment (NWEA MAPS) that outlines strengths and weaknesses in Reading and Math three times a year. The school intervention team looks closely at this data and compares it with other classroom assessments to develop personalized interventions to meet ALL of our students learning reads. Every child has one special class each day, Art, Library, Music, or Physical Education. 

The Bellevue Community strongly supports its school system and we are on track to open a brand new preK-5 building in August of 2012. We look forward to the move to our new state-of-the-art facility. 

We hope you will consider the Bellevue City School District as you make educational decisions for your children. You may call (419) 484-5000 with any enrollment questions. We also welcome personal visits to Ridge School. Please call our building secretary, Mrs. Diana Sanders, at (419) 484-5030 to make an appointment. 

I hope you are able to navigate this site with ease. Since this school website is new we welcome feedback and ideas at shannon.turner@bellevueschools.org 

Yours in Education, 

Mrs. Shannon Turner
