Dear RRES Students and Parents:

On behalf of the staff at Ridge Road Elementary School, I am happy to welcome you to the 2024-​2025 school year! We look forward to a productive partnership with you to ensure our children can ​achieve their highest potential. We recognize that in order to be successful in school, our children ​need support from both the home and school. We know a strong partnership with you will make a ​significant difference in your child’s education. As partners, we share the responsibilityfor our ​children’s success.

I am very excited to have the honor of serving as your principal this school year. Along with the ​teachers and staff, I will work hard to build a legacy of success led by our Superintendent Mrs. ​Vickie Harden, and our Board of Education. It is the mission of Washington County Schools for all ​children to excel in the areas of Academics, Arts, and Athletics. Instructionally, we will focus on the ​Georgia Standards of Excellence, engaging all students using performance tasks, the use of data to ​drive instruction, and providing consistent implementation of the curriculum in a rigorous manner ​so that we can continue to increase all students’ achievement.

As your principal, it is important to me that everyone who steps through our doors-teachers, ​students, and parents-are excited to be here! This attitude enables us to meet the challenges of ​academic excellence in a positive, fun, and nurturing environment. My door is always open and I ​welcome your input. Please feel free to call or email me to discuss any concerns you might have ​throughout the school year.

I look forward to working with you as a team to help each student at Ridge Road Elementary ​School meet their goals and have a successful school year!

Best Regards,

Mrs. Christine C. McPherson

RRES Principal
