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.
Happy Summer Vacation! We hope that our students and staff are able to take some time to relax and recharge! Perhaps your family can take time to create a summer bucket list of fun, learning activities! Simple activities such as going on a picnic, star gazing, having a movie night, or creating pictures with sidewalk chalk can create some fantastic memories and connections!
Mark your calendar now! Open House for the 2024-25 school year will take place on Monday, August 19, 2024, from 4-6pm! The first day of school for students will be Tuesday, August 20, 2024!
There is still time to sign up for the Washington DC trip! Registration is due September 28. The trip will take place November 7-10, 2024 with a cost of $865. You can register online at worldstrides.com/register with the trip ID 206171. Questions can be directed to Ms. Friermood at jfriermood@ridgedaleschools.org. This is open to students who will be in 9th-12th grade for the 2024-25 school year.
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 in June!
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 summer, and Go, Rockets!
