Open House - September 21 from 5:30 - 7:00

Pepper Ridge staff invite our Puma Families to come visit our school.  We encourage you and your child to visit your child's classroom(s) and preview their learning.  Let your child take pride in sharing some of their learning experiences with you this school year!  

A light snack will be provided in the cafe for our students and families.

Standards Based Grading: From 6:00 - 6:20, Mrs. Fogal will offer a brief presentation in the gym on Standard Based Grading and how parents can view their child(ren)'s progress this school year.

2017 WALK-A-THON

Mark your calendars! This year’s Walk-A-Thon will be held on Friday, September 22nd! The Walk-A-Thon is our major, once-a-school-year fundraiser. Instead of selling candy or catalog items, we combine a fun fitness walk with fundraising. The funds raised are used by the PTO throughout the year to assist the school with a variety of projects and needs. Look for additional information to come home the first weekend in September!
