Principal's Message

 

Tim Rice, Principal

Welcome to West Ridge Elementary!

It is with tremendous gratitude and excitement that I step into the 2026–2027 school year as your new principal. Having served the Post Falls School District for twenty years, I have been incredibly blessed to connect with so many families in our community. I look forward to partnering with you as our West Ridge students embark on this year's educational journey.

The West Ridge community is built on the foundation of our highly trained, dedicated educational staff. Guided by the principles of integrity, compassion, and perseverance, we are committed to providing a safe, nurturing environment that fosters success for every student. As the old adage goes, "Students don't care how much you know until they know how much you care." We cannot wait to show your children how much we care this year.
