Welcome to the 2022-2023 school year at Ridge Family Center for Learning.

My name is Samantha Stone, and this is my second year as Principal at Ridge. I strive to be an integral part of every student’s life. The home and school connection is strongest where social emotional growth is every bit as important as academics. 

Ridge staff is dedicated and passionate about learning. They are committed to high levels of achievement, growth, and social emotional well being of all our students. Ridge’s beliefs encourage students to explore, question, take risks, and make mistakes.  Understanding the relevance of why they are learning and applying it to school and their lives. 

Our district mission is “Preparing Students to Be Successful for Life,” and we do that for  approximately 250 students that Ridge serves. Our talented, dedicated staff creates an environment that supports our school mission by “Growing Strong Minds, Strong Bodies, and Caring Hearts.” Ridge is a school of choice that strives to be innovative and encourages children to try new practices to be successful in their learning and life. We are a school for kindergarten through fifth grade that any student in the district can attend if there is space available.

I am excited to continue the journey of building relationships with all of our families and students. I am committed to exploring new ways to communicate with our families and bringing back some of our “family traditions.”  I am looking forward to a great 22-23 school year! And so our adventure begins.. 

Kind Regards,

Samantha Stone
