South Ridge Elementary School (SRE) has been impacting the lives of students and families in Castle Rock since 1972. What an accomplishment! On September 10, SRE celebrated South’s 50th Birthday with our “Loving South Ridge for 50 Years” party. While the weather wasn’t perfect, former and current staff, students, community gathered to celebrate this school! A big thanks to SRE's amazing administration, staff and teachers for making their birthday celebration a success.
SRE PTCO also partnered with some awesome vendors: Snappy Face Painting, Fun Services, Big Sky Bounce, Ninja Nation, DJ Diego and Scout Troop 261. Thanks also goes out to Holt Orthodontics for their sponsorship of the event.

New Policy: Gift Card Distribution Log |
When purchasing gift cards for teachers/staff/volunteers please fill out the Gift Card Distribution Log throughout the year and send it back to the Foundation Chapter bookkeeper twice a year by January 1st and May 31st. The distribution log will show documentation on who gift cards were given to and when. This will provide a safeguard so if any questions were to arise the Chapter will have a record of each gift card recipient.

Event & Liability Insurance |
Any Chapter planning an event off-site or anything involving physical activity of participants (e.g. fun runs, carnivals involving carnival rides, etc.) should submit a request for a Certificate of Insurance at least one week prior to the scheduling of the event. This will allow the Foundation enough time to work with the insurance company to request a certificate of insurance, or add policy riders, if necessary. The cost for additional insurance shall be covered by the Chapter. In addition to general liability insurance, the Foundation carries directors and officers insurance whereby Chapter Officers are also included in the coverage as detailed in the policy. NO animals will be allowed at Chapter events or on school district property. No event with animals will be insurable; the District will seek personal liability for any incidents.
