Welcome to View Ridge Elementary School where our mantra is “Educating Every Child, Every Day, Every Way.” We are a community school in the heart of East Bremerton.  It is clear form our current survey data that our students, parents, and staff believe our school is a focused, safe learning environment with high standards and highly qualified staff.

This year we will focus on high standards for all learners.  Our main objective is to engage students in the learning process so that all can succeed.  We know that for a school to succeed, we need to do the following:

  1. Continually monitor student achievement using benchmark and formative assessments.
  2. Use that data to make decisions to better our performance.
  3. Provide extra support for struggling learners during the school day and before or after school.
  4. Keep parents informed of our progress and their student’s progress.
  5. Keep our families involved in our school community through PTA and school sponsored monthly events for our families to enjoy.

 

We take great pride in being a family-oriented school and a historically strong presence in the East Bremerton community.  We believe is takes all of us working together to help our children succeed.
