Weekly Update 5-19-24

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. 

Today’s one call is coming out early because it is graduation day! We will be celebrating our seniors here at the jr/sr high school gymnasium at 2pm.

It’s also the last week of school…although I am not sure how another year has flown by so quickly! On Monday, the Leo Club will be taking a field trip, and 8th grade breakfast will take place. Maddi McKenzie will compete in the regional track meet on Wednesday at Heath High School. 5th graders have a reward trip on Wednesday and farewell cookout on Thursday. Friday is our last day of school for all students, and Ridgedale Elementary will be holding award ceremonies throughout the day. 

You may have heard that we received a grant through a partnership with North Central Ohio Educational Service Center and Muskingum Valley Educational Service Center Drivers’ Education. This grant will allow us to help provide driver’s education for our students at a discounted rate. Look for more information to come as we go through training!

Our one calls will be slowing down over the summer, but you can continue to check our LiveFeed and News on our website as well as our social media. Events can be found on the Google Calendar on our website as well.

Thank you for all you do for our students, our staff, and our community! Make it a great week, and Go, Rockets!
