Elk Ridge Elementary School Home

Principal's Message

Elk Ridge Elementary is home to over 550 students in kindergarten through fifth grade. We are also home to our district-wide elementary RISE program. This is a Special Education program focusing on meeting the unique needs of students with academic, social, behavioral, and independent living needs. We have an incredible staff that cares deeply for our students and their families. We work in collaborative teams to ensure that all students achieve at high levels, preparing them for success beyond high school. Our teams work to create a guaranteed and viable curriculum across grade levels, ensuring that every student gets what they need.

We have strong partnerships with families and community organizations. We are grateful for our small-town community and the opportunities to come together and celebrate our students.

Thank you for being a part of our Elk Ridge community. It is truly something special!

Nina Markey, Principal

Student Calendar Update

3/19/26 Important Calendar Update:
OSPI has granted our request for an emergency waiver under RCW 28A.150.290 and WAC 392-192, waiving one school day due to severe flooding and widespread road closures in December.

March 13th was converted to a student attendance day instead of the previously planned Waiver Day, and we will extend the school year, with the last day on Monday, June 15th, and an early release that day with no late start.
