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.
