We Are Goal Getters!
As we enter Quarter 4, our theme of GOAL GETTERS shines brighter than ever! This is the time of year when our hard work, determination, and teamwork truly come together. At our school, we believe that when we strive for more, try our best, and support one another, we can achieve anything—because we are a Phoenix Family, and together we rise!
Families, your partnership means so much. Please continue to support your students by:
📚 Reading together nightly
➗ Practicing math facts
🗣️ Talking with your child about their day and their goals
These small daily routines create powerful habits that set our students up for success.
And don’t forget—a morning pep talk goes a long way! A few encouraging words before school can boost motivation, confidence, and the belief that each day is an opportunity to grow.
Quarter 4 is our moment to shine, stretch, and soar.
Together we achieve more!
This is our year, and we are truly SOARING BEYOND EXPECTATIONS!
— Principal Nicholson
Assistant Principal's Message

Hello Phoenix Family!
I’m Ms. Ana Maria Gonzalez, your Assistant Principal, and I’m thrilled to welcome you to another exciting school year at Flora Ridge! With 19 years in education—seven of those right here at Flora Ridge—I’m proud to be part of a school community that values inclusivity, growth, and excellence.
At Flora Ridge, we’ve built a nurturing environment where students thrive academically, socially, and emotionally. As we begin this new school year, my goal is to continue supporting our staff, students, and families in creating a safe, inclusive, and engaging learning space where ALL students can soar.
We believe every student has the potential to succeed, and we encourage active participation in the many opportunities available—from academic programs like AVID Ambassadors, NJHS, and Battle of the Books, to extracurricular activities such as track, soccer, and safety patrol. We want every student to strive for their personal best and feel a strong sense of belonging.
Parents, your involvement is key to our success. We value your partnership and look forward to working together to support your child’s educational journey.
Let’s make this the best year yet—filled with learning, growth, and unforgettable memories. I’m excited for all the adventures ahead!
#FLYPhoenix! #YouBelong!
Warm regards,
Ana Maria Gonzalez
Assistant Principal
