Our beautiful new school opened in 2006 with Ruby Bridges, herself, coming to our dedication in October. We celebrate our diversity, value educational achievement and take pride in being the future. In addition to a fabulous staff, we have an active hardworking PTA and two afterschool programs. We have a variety of intervention and enrichment programs to help meet the needs of every student. Our new Innovative Plan focused on STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts and Mathmatics) has just finished its first year of implementation. Our students can learn the responsibilities of peer leadership by being Peacemakers and members of the student council. When you come visit our school you will see active learners and enthusiastic teachers.
Please read the district's page on our anti-bullying policies here.
You can download the bullying complaint form below. Please turn in to the school's office when complete.
Please see the link below for the ways in which Ruby Bridges is prepared to handle an emergency.
Class of 2017 seniors visited their Ruby Bridges Elementary and offered words of wisdom and advice to fourth and fifth graders.
Our former students are graduates of Alameda High, ASTI High, Encinal High, and Island High School.
They will be attending various Peralta Colleges, UCs, CSUs, University of Oregon, Yale, and joining branches of the military. We are so proud of all our former students and their hard work. We look forward to seeing what our future students will accomplish!

Our school needs your feedback!
Please take 5 minutes to complete our anonymous survey.
Please see the attached document for enrollment information nights for incoming TK and Kindergartners for next year.
Classroom observations by parents are welcomed and encouraged at all AUSD schools. Although we welcome these visits, they can be disruptive to the classroom routine and instructional time. We must give the teacher 24 hour notice that the visit will occur and the visit may not last longer than 30 minutes. Please fill out the attached form and drop it off in the office. Send an email to Mrs. Pharr-Matthews at dpharr@alamedaunified.org to set up a time to visit your child's classroom.
