On behalf of School District 27J, along with the teachers and staff of West Ridge Elementary, I would like to welcome you to West Ridge.

West Ridge Elementary, located in the Quebec Run subdivision in east Thornton, opened its doors on September 4, 2007. On that day, children became the most essential part of a school community and culture of learning that was designed for them. The students of West Ridge have inherited an architecturally superior school facility complete with new furnishings, up-to-date technologies, the latest and best curricular programs, and the highest quality of hand-picked staff. With the opening of our new school, we strive to take advantage of an exceptional opportunity to create an educational culture that meets the expectations of the parental community in which our school is housed.

Included on this website, you can find many important facts, philosophies, and updated information to help you stay well informed. We also encourage you to contact us via phone or email at anytime to get the necessary information that you need and cannot find on this website. As potential parents, we want you to feel comfortable and confident in enrolling your most valuable possession at West Ridge Elementary. As parents of students already enrolled, we want our website to provide you with the most up-dated information you need to know about our school.

We are extremely proud of our school and the wonderful adults who work together to serve our students. We look forward to meeting each of you and ultimately serving your children.

Mr. William Pierce, Principal
