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.
We have a flow going for our changes in our drop off and pick up. Thank you for your help with this important change.
It’s hard to believe that we are halfway through our first quarter! Remember, you can check your child’s grades anytime on PowerSchool. Please reach out to your child’s building if you need assistance with logging into PowerSchool.
The parent meeting for the 2024 Washington D.C. trip took place on Wednesday of last week. If your current 8th or 9th grade child is interested in attending, please message Miss Friermood via school email for information from that meeting.
We have many events going on this week!
The elementary school is celebrating a Week of Wonder with a Kindness Spirit Week. Monday is professional clothes, Tuesday is Tie Dye, Wednesday is Red/Blue/Rocket clothes, Thursday is athletic wear, and Friday is shirts with kind words. Note that there is a family literacy night with a Title meeting on Wednesday, from 4-6pm. This promises to be an evening full of WONDER!
We are celebrating Homecoming week, too! The jr/sr high will host a spirit week as well! Students, check your emails for all of the details for each day.
