Please join us for our Orientation Night on Monday, August 17. The evening will begin with our Parent Teacher Organization (PTO), hosting an outdoor event 4:00–7:00 PM outside the school, connecting our Redhawks and their families with valuable back-to-school resources and information.
Our Orientation will take place from 5:00–7:00 PM, giving families the opportunity to meet teachers, visit classrooms, and prepare for a successful start to the school year.
To help ensure a smooth event, we kindly ask that families leave the parking area behind the school (between the school and the playground) available for staff parking. We appreciate your cooperation and encourage visitors to use the remaining areas around and near the school.
We look forward to seeing you on August 17 and can't wait to kick off another outstanding year at Mountain Ridge. Go Redhawks!

Have a Child Entering Pre-K in the Inwood Area?
During construction of the new Inwood Early Learning Academy, the Pre-K program will be temporarily housed at Gerrardstown Elementary School for the 2026–27 school year.
To better serve students and families and help reduce wait times during drop-off and pick-up at this temporary location, transportation hubs will be available for families enrolled in Pre-K at Inwood Early Learning Academy only.
Transportation will be provided from an Inwood-area hub, where students will ride in EPIC vans equipped with Pre-K-approved safety seats to and from Inwood Early Learning Academy each day. This option is intended to help families avoid congested traffic and long lines while also reducing driving distance.
Families interested in transportation should:
Enroll their child in Pre-K, and
Select Inwood Early Learning Academy as their first-choice site on the application.
Once enrollment information is received, a Pre-K representative will contact families who select Inwood Early Learning Academy as their first-choice site to discuss transportation needs.
We’re excited to share that Summer Enrichment Camps have expanded to include current 3rd Grade students!
