We are off to a great start at Fossil Ridge! The first two weeks have seen numerous successes and celebrations of teaching and learning...our new 6th graders have even figured out where all their classes are! :) We have worked hard to ensure that school-wide expectations, classroom expectations, and learning expectations have been clearly communicated with each one of our 920 students. One of our school-wide goals/challenges this year is to find the "Hidden Gems" among us at Fossil Ridge, to seek out the stories of our kids, and to ensure that ALL 920 feel important and loved. Learning begins with relationships. Relationships are critically important at Fossil Ridge, and are at the heart of everything we do...because that's How We Do Things at Fossil Ridge Intermediate!
