Ridge Elementary School follows the New York State Board of Regents adopted learning standards for all areas of study. The New York State Education Department issues the core curricula and these core curricula’s are the foundation upon which State assessments are aligned and developed. The school honors the students, teachers, support staff, and parents for their desire to work and seek continued improvement for each and every child. The idea at Ridge is to provide an environment for each student that will fully challenge his or her cognitive, emotional, physical, and social needs. The staff knows that it is imperative to identify what each student knows and what skills he or she can demonstrate. Once this has been accomplished then additional growth will take place. Curriculum, instruction, and assessment are the three main variables that need to be realized in order to provide the most effective teaching.
