Principal’s Message:

Greetings Park Ridge Family,

Welcome to the 2012-2013 school year; it will be EXTRAORDINARY! I am your new principal, Dr. Daphene Watson. It is a privilege and an honor to serve the Park Ridge Family as we venture into various modes of  exploratory learning. We plan to challenge our students ability to think critically, solve problems, exhibit good citizenship qualities, effectively communicate, manifest appropriate social skills and move their bodies through daily physical activity. The faculty and staff are prepared to make this a memorable year of fun and learning for our students!

As you know, Park Ridge has extended its school day for Kindergarten - Grade 5 only. The new school hours are 8:00 a.m. - 3:00 p.m. Students enrolled in Pre-K and Headstart will attend school from 8:00 a.m. - 2:00 p.m.  For further information, please contact the school at 754-322-7700. We are happy to assist you.

I'm looking forward to a collaborative relationship among students, parents, faculty, staff, business partners and community involvement. It's going to be a GREAT school year; I feel it in my heart. I hope you're as excited as we are at PARK RIDGE!

I'm proud to be your principal,

Dr. Daphene L. Watson

GO PARK RIDGE!
