FROM OUR PRINCIPAL

MRS. MARCIA CARLYLE


 
       I would like to take this opportunity to welcome you to East Ridge Middle School...and to our web site!  I hope you find the information you are looking for.  We know that it is easy to gather information and place it on a web location, but I hope that we do it in such a way that you come away with a "welcomed" experience.
        I am very proud to be a part of East Ridge Middle School.  I don't think you will find a better student body, teaching staff, or support staff anywhere.  There is a closeness in this school that does not exist in many others.   We work as a family - each staff member being a contributing member of this family.  I attribute this to our beginnings as an open-spaced middle school that continues with the teaching of students instead of subjects as our primary goal.  We are here to provide an exceptional educational and social experience for all of our students.  Decisions are tested to make sure that each decision is based on what is best for the student, not for the staff or the program.  We understand that every child is unique and comes to us with varying needs and abilities.  It is our challenge to recognize these differences and work with them.  It is an ever-changing process in accomplishing this mission, and we are here to succeed.
