Our Vision & Mission Statemant

At Gold Ridge, students, staff, parents and our community partners understand what it takes to foster successful lifelong learning. All Gold Ridge community members have a voice and work together toward the development of the whole child; preserving their uniqueness while preparing them to be a productive, contributing member of our diverse society.

The Gold Ridge community promotes high expectations for academic excellence. Student achievement is accomplished through innovative, powerful teaching and learning of the standards-based curriculum in a safe, caring environment. Instruction is personalized and differentiated based on the learning styles of the student. Students are assessed using multiple measures which help guide staff in supporting student achievement. Standards-aligned research-based instructional strategies are the focal point of the school's professional development program.

Character education through the Lifeskill Program provides the foundation for positive student behavior and is integrated throughout the school environment. Students are influential in how their school is run through the leadership program. Students are encouraged and nurtured by recognition programs, PTA family events, engaged parents, a caring staff, dedicated volunteers and many community partners. It is the vision of Gold Ridge Elementary School that all students will contribute to our society, experience academic success, possess a strong sense of self-worth and leave the school with the attitude, skills, and knowledge to be critical thinkers, problem-solvers, and lifelong learners.
