What's New

Dear Ponderosa Families,

We wrapped up the 2024–2025 school year, so I want to take a moment to thank you for your continued support and partnership. It has truly been a great year at Ponderosa Elementary! Our students made strides both academically and socially, and we’re so proud of all they’ve accomplished.
Looking ahead, the first day of school for the 2025–2026 year will be Tuesday, September 2, 2025.

Please note that, in alignment with a district-wide adjustment, our school day will begin 10 minutes earlier and end 10 minutes later each day. This small shift is part of a broader effort to extend instructional time and enhance student learning. We’ll be sure to send more details and reminders as the new school year approaches.

Until then, we hope your summer is filled with fun, rest, and family time. Thank you again for being such an important part of our Ponderosa community.

Warmly,
Allison Evertz
Principal
Ponderosa Elementary School

Important Dismissal Information

Kindergarten - 3rd Grade Dismisses at 2:00pm

4th & 5th Grade 2:45pm

EVERY WEDNESDAY, we will dismiss one hour before the regular times above. This is professional time for ALL staff to collaborate and work together in order to improve instruction and focus on specific needs of our students. Dismissal on Wednesdays will be 1:00pm for grades K-3 and 1:45pm for grades 4-5.

** If you have last minute message on a change of plans for your child at the end of the day, please call AT LEAST 20 minutes before dismissal. If you call any later than that, we cannot guarantee that they will get the message before dismissal time. There are so many students and it's an incredibly busy time of day. Thank you for your cooperation!
