Principal's Message
Dear Ox Ridge Community,
Welcome to Ox Ridge Elementary School, where we are committed to nurturing the educational needs of our 490 students from Pre-K through 5th grade. Our dedicated faculty, staff, and administration work closely with families to support our mission of fostering joyful, healthy, and inquisitive learners.
At Ox Ridge, every adult is an integral part of your child’s educational journey. Our comprehensive curriculum encourages students to:
-
Investigate and engage with meaningful ideas
-
Take thoughtful risks with appropriate support
-
Work collaboratively and empathetically with peers and adults
-
Reflect on their personal strengths and areas for growth
-
Cultivate a lifelong love of learning
-
Contribute to a supportive and positive school environment
We are fortunate to have a dynamic Parent Teacher Organization (PTO) that enriches our school community. We invite you to explore our PTO website to learn more about how you can get involved with this vibrant group.
We believe that effective communication between school and home is essential for our students' success. Please feel free to reach out to your child’s teacher or contact us directly if you have any questions or concerns throughout the year.
We look forward to a wonderful school year ahead!
Warm regards,
Mr. Chris Melillo - Principal
Jaclyn Welsh - Assistant Principal
Maya Feldman - Assistant Principal
