Georgetown-Ridge Farm CUSD #4

Yesterday was our sorting ceremony for our new houses. We had an absolute blast figuring out who was going to which house.

Pine Crest Families! Don't forget that Monday is our sorting day for 1st-5th grade! We are so excited to get the new year started with all new houses. Your kids learned about the houses this week and on Monday will be coming home with information about their brand new house. Make sure you review this information with them and get them excited about earning points!

Good Afternoon, I would like to be the first to welcome you back to a new school year. The first day of school is one week from today on Wednesday, August 14, 2024. If you have not registered yet, please contact your child's school building. We are conducting a Parent Survey to receive feedback on how we are doing to serve you and your students' needs. We are asking every parent to fill out the survey. If you were unable to access the survey at registration, please contact Mrs. Meeker at emeeker@gobuffaloes.org and she will send you a survey link. The survey will take a few minutes to fill out and it will give us valuable information on what we are doing well and what areas need improvement. If you have not registered yet, you can fill out the survey when you register at your child's school. The results will help us to set customer service goals for the year. We are looking forward to a great start to the new year! Jean Neal, Superintendent
