“The function of education is to teach one to think intensively and to think critically; intelligence plus character- that is the goal of true education.”-Martin Luther King Jr.

Greetings, East Ridge Middle School Community!
Get Ready, Get Set, Go! TNReady continues again, bright and early Monday morning! I hope you had a wonderful and refreshing weekend so that you are ready to do your very best on the TNReady Assessment. It is VERY important that you arrive on time and have a positive mindset for testing. We need your support in ensuring that students arrive on time, are present, and are prepared to take TNReady! Please remember our mantra as we approach this testing season: Be responsible, Be respectful, Be resilient, and Be ready. Together, we can overcome any challenges that may arise and end the year on a strong note. Have an amazing week!

When students arrive at school whether by car, bus, or walking, they will have an opportunity to go through the cafeteria line to pick up a grab-and-go breakfast. They will then be directed toward their homeroom classroom to eat. For students not eating a school breakfast, they will report directly to their homeroom classroom. School will start promptly at 7:20 and students will be in the classroom and ready to learn at that time.
