Happy New Year! 
Happy New Year!
We are once again, reminded of how grateful we are of such a supportive community to work with our young learners.

2017 is sure to bring some changes to Clover Ridge and we are filled with mixed emotions.  We are saddened to see our Carver Families leave but excited as they embark on opening the first class at a new Elementary School in Carver!  Our staff will work hard to make this transition seamless for all students.  We are excited to welcome students from Chaska Elementary to the Clover Ridge Family!  While transitions can be difficult, they are filled with opportunity.  We are committed to sustaining the environment that has been built with a solid foundation over the past 15 years, and are committed to upholding that tradition of excellence.  Thank you for your partnership in this journey with many exceptional adventures ahead.    
The Sheridan Story
The Weekend Food Program is starting at Clover Ridge Elementary. In partnership with The Sheridan Story and the community, a bag of non-perishable food can be delivered to your child on Fridays. Look for a postcard in your child's backpack this week. If  you are interested in signing your child up for this opportunity, return the permission form or contact Ann Varpness, School Counselor, at varpnessa@district112.org or (952)556-6905. 
Caring Connections
Thank you so much for your generous donations to our gift program!  We received over 325 gifts and helped many of our own CRE families.
May your families enjoy a wonderfully peaceful & relaxing break!
