Ashland Ridge Announcements
Kindergarten Registration
2012-2013 Kindergarten Registration
 
Kindergarten registration for the 2012-2013 school year will be held at 7:00 p.m. on Thursday, February 2, 2012.
 
If you have a child who will be five years of age on or before September 15, 2012, please plan to attend kindergarten registration at your neighborhood attendance center. Due to increased enrollment at the elementary level and limited space, parents are encouraged to enroll their eligible kindergartners on February 2nd. No registrations will be taken prior to February 2nd.  
 
A complete set of necessary registration forms will be available online after January 11th. If possible, please bring all completed forms to the registration meeting. The forms will also be available at the elementary that evening. Along with the forms, please bring proof of birth date along with a copy of the child’s immunization records to the registration meeting.
 
The registration meeting is for parents only. We ask no children attend this meeting.
 
Please contact your neighborhood elementary office or the Registrar at registrar@ankenyschools.org or (515) 289-8955 if you have any questions or concerns.

Ashland Ridge Newsletter January 2012
The January 2012 Ashland Ridge Newsletter is now available.  All parents and students are encouraged to view the information included.  Click here to view! 


E-Readers at School
“Are students permitted to bring e-readers to school?” Yes. Due to the fact that e-readers are storage devices, our current handbook policy does permit students to bring them to school. Please keep in mind that all items must be downloaded at home and the school is not responsible for lost, stolen or damaged e-readers. E-readers being used at school may only be used for “reading” purposes. The use of e-readers are subject to the district’s acceptable use policy. If you have any questions regarding the policy, please contact the school office.

Ashland Ridge "Artists of the Month"
Each month Ashland Ridge Elementary celebrates the "Artists of the Month".

Curriculum Review: It Goes Far Beyond the Textbook
It’s a common misconception: when people think of "curriculum," they often think of a textbook. But, what exactly constitutes a complete "curriculum," and what is involved in reviewing curriculum?  A curriculum review is more than just buying the next set of support materials.  In high-performing school districts, curriculum review is a continuous improvement process.  Read how reviews are changing and curriculum is improving in ACSD.
Changes to 2012-2013 Calendar
On January 9, the School Board approved several adjustments to the 2012-2013 school calendar.  The start of school was moved from August 13 to August 15, 2012.  The scheduled last day of school moved from May 22 to May 23.  Spring break was set for March 15-22, 2013.  Dates for back-to-school nights and P/T conferences are not yet finalized and are will be updated on the calendar at a later date. Download the revised 2012-2013 At-A-Glance Calendar here.
