A Message from the Principal

At Aldridge Elementary School, we embrace a balanced approach to education, that combines high accountability with ample support. We set challenging academic goals and hold scholars, teachers, and administrators accountable for meeting them. At the same time, we offer personalized assistance, additional tutoring, and small-group instruction. Our nurturing environment also focuses on social-emotional development, promoting excellence while recognizing individual needs. This comprehensive approach ensures every scholar has an equal opportunity to thrive academically and reach their full potential. We understand the importance of emotional intelligence and its impact on overall well-being. Our curriculum strongly emphasizes social-emotional learning, equipping scholars with essential skills to navigate challenges and build positive relationships. We believe that Everything Grows in the Gardens!
