Front Door Safety

Your PTSA wants to remind all students and parents that the only visitor entrance to the school is through the front door. For the safety of all of our students and staff, we are asking parents to remind their students that side doors and back entrances are never for visitors. Please do not let adults in doors behind yourself. Please follow our safety guidelines every single time! Thank you!

S.N.A.C.K. Donation Drive

Cedar Ridge PTSA provides a program called S.N.A.C.K. (Serving Needs And Caring for Kids) to our students who are in transition, meaning they do no have a permanent residence. These students may be living in cars, hotels or other locations and do not have access to some of the basic food and hygiene items. Once collected, the items are assembled, and the Counceling Team distributes the bags to students in need.

Please signup using this link: https://www.signupgenius.com/go/70A0A4CACA922ABFF2-55313937-snack#/

Donations can be dropped off at school until Friday, March 7th by 3:00PM.

Accumulative donation value of $7.00= 1 hour. You can find Raiders in Action form here.
