Welcome To Arbor Ridge K-8 School!
Greetings Arbor Ridge Families!
I hope you and your family had an amazing summer, we are looking forward to seeing many of you at our Meet the Teacher on Monday, August 8th from 1-3 pm. Families in K-5 should have received an email notification with who their teacher will be for the upcoming school year on Friday, if you did not, no worries, there will be faculty and staff available on campus on Monday to help identify your student’s teacher. Middle school students will receive their schedules in the cafeteria and have the opportunity to visit with their teachers. Middle School Students will also be able to pick up their device in the media center from 1-3 pm during Meet the Teacher, but if you are unable to make it, students will receive their device on the first day of school.
Also, during Meet the Teacher we will have parking tags available for car riders. Parents please bring your driver’s license so that we may issue you a car tag. If you still have your car tags from last year, please bring those as well as your photo ID and be sure to visit the car tag table.

Online Forms can also be located from the Wall in Skyward Family Access. Parents and guardians will be able to complete and submit the Parent Consent Form (PCF) and Device Refusal Form from the Online Forms Tab or the Wall. Directions for completing Online Forms have been added to the Skyward Family Access documentation. OCPS respects that families have the right to make educational decisions for their child. During the 2022-23 school year there are two ONLINE forms for parents/guardians in Skyward Family Access. Parents must complete PCF as soon as possible, but no later than ten days after the start of the school year/and or entry. We appreciate your attention to these forms.
We are looking forward to seeing you everyone on Monday, August 8th from 1-pm at Meet the Teacher!
