Royal Ridge held our 1st “First Friday Assembly” where we will recognize students for meeting goals and exhibiting S.O.A.R. Behavior (Self-Control, On-Task, Accomplishing Goals, and Respect). From our 130 students in August who had positive office referrals, Patriot Pride Awards, we surprised our two STAR students of the month. It was a great way to celebrate the first few weeks of school as our students were for sure ‘S.O.A.R.ing High with Patriot Pride’! @niclew12

When in doubt selfie out… loved having lunch with some of our newest Patriots today!

I loved working with our campus leaders supporting them as they prepare to welcome our teachers back Monday. We are ready to define and roll out the ‘Royal Ridge Way’ @niclew12

I’m so proud to serve the best community alongside these humble, brilliant and passionate leaders. They inspire me to be better daily because our students deserve the best. #TRPride

This was fun!!

That’s a wrap on school year 3 at Royal Ridge. BEST job with the BEST group of individuals who push me to be better. The road isn’t always easy, but it matters. We are doing the RIGHT work. The BEST is yet to come!

Last week of school dismissal at ‘The Ridge’ is getting wild! @niclew12

Tonight was a full circle & humbling honor. I was invited to return to my undergraduate alma mater to be the keynote speaker for UIW’s 2024 Dreeben School of Education Awards. It truly motivated me to see the future educators and share with them my own story. My bucket is full.

Royal Ridge Staff Surprise Egg Hunt today was a huge success… We also realized some of us need a staff fitness club as a result of fatigue it caused 🫣 🐰 🥚 🌸

@niclew12 Thank you! ❤️ We now have almost 600 positive office referrals this year to 60 typical office referrals. I’m proud of this 10:1 ratio. Kids need to be honored/ celebrated for what they do right. Encourage the positive to continue. It takes our whole RR family to accomplish this!

Positivity matters so much for our students & helps build confidence and positive relationships w/ students & families. @JCollazo86 this reminds me of RR. I want to publicly acknowledge how proud I am of you and the Royal Ridge staff for having over 550 positive referrals!

Royal Ridge’s 1st Daddy Daughter Dance was a huge success with over 150 daughters in attendance and their father figures! Everyone came dressed to impress and danced the light away.❤️ @niclew12

Royal Ridge held a special memorial service for ‘Linda the Laminator” today during Friday Staff Huddle. She lived a good life. RIP 2001-2024 ❤️

Thank you for judging our S.O.A.R. Door Contest. It has been great to see kids gallery walking the halls for behavioral expectation conversations. Real life application to kick off second semester reset. Excited to announce winners! @niclew12

Royal Ridge 1st graders had a blast today categorizing three dimensional figures by attributes today. The conversations were so vocabulary rich!

Today is a wrap to Royal Ridge Melé Kalikimaka 2023. Thank you to this wonderful office team for helping me pull off the 11 day extravaganza ♥️🌲
