Good afternoon, Rocket families!
This is Erika Bower, Superintendent of Ridgedale Local Schools, where our mission is to empower students to reach their full potential while focusing on learning, safety, partnerships with our community, and fiscal responsibility. Joe Dumars tells us, “On good teams, coaches hold players accountable. On great teams, players hold players accountable.” This quote reminds us that we all play a part on the team, and we all need to speak up to support each other. This will make our team great!
The call this week is coming out a little later today as the FFA banquet took place at 1pm, and I didn’t want those sitting in the banquet to receive the call during that time!
Spring has sprung, and our campus is busier than ever with softball, baseball, and track. Please, drive slowly and cautiously at all times, but especially now.
The elementary book fair is this week! We know the students will be excited! It will be open from Monday, April 3 through Thursday, April 6.
The Rocket Carnival and kindergarten registration expo is here on Tuesday, April 4, from 4-7pm. Come join the fun!
Preschool registration is still available for the 2023-24 school year. Information and applications are available on our website.
The jr/sr high will have spring pictures on Wednesday, April 5. All students will be getting their picture taken with an option for our students at Tri Rivers. Photo packages can be pre-purchased now or after the picture date. There is information on our website, but if you have questions, email Mr. Greenwood.
There is a prom meeting for all juniors and their parents/guardians on April 5 at 6pm in the school library.
Mark your calendars for Friday, April 7 and Monday, April 10. There will be no school as we will be on spring break. Ohio State Testing for students in grades 3 and up will be starting when we return from spring break. 6th grade ELA part I will be on Wednesday, April 12 and part II will be on Thursday, April 13. 8th grade ELA will be on Friday, April 14.
