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. At the beginning of this school year, we were able to utilize grant money to hire a part time social worker. As the year progressed, we partnered with the Marion Crawford ADAMH Board who paid for our social worker to be full time. We are thankful for their continued partnership into next year, too. There are many resources on their website as well. Their web address is mcadamh.com.
Once again, if you or your child have concerns regarding safety, use our Stay Safe, Speak Up portal on our website or on our app.
Ohio State Testing is wrapping up this week with Geometry on Tuesday as well as any make up testing needed. Students need to make sure they have their chromebooks charged and with them, especially on testing days.
Don’t forget that Ridgedale on Display will take place this Friday, May 12, from 4-8pm! You will not be disappointed by all of the talent! Graduation takes place on Sunday, May 21, at 2pm. There are many, many events, celebrations, field trips, and athletic events going on as we finish up the year! Please make sure to check the school calendar on our website or app to stay up to date on everything!
Summer Learning Programs are currently enrolling! Enrollment forms can be found on the Ridgedale website or the app. Make sure to turn your student's forms in as soon as possible because spots are limited and filling up fast! We are excited to have fun with students this summer while we work to push back the "summer slide!" Students currently in K-2 will enroll with the YMCA program. Students currently in 3rd-8th grade will enroll with Summer POWER Hours. We hope to see you there!
Preschool registration is still available for the 2023-24 school year. Information and applications are available on our website.
Thank you for all you do for our students, our staff, and our community! Make it a great week, and Go, Rockets!
