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.
Once again, please know that we take safety very seriously. We remind you that if you hear something or see something, say something. We have many ways that you can contact us quickly and efficiently. Concerns can be directly reported to any staff member in person, via email through our website, or via phone calls to the building office. In addition, we use the SaferOH tip line. You can find a direct link to the site on our website or the Ridgedale app. You can also call or text the tip line at 844-Safer-OH (844-723-3764). This tip line is monitored 24 hours a day/7 days a week. If you have an immediate need, please contact 911. Keep in mind that we have a full time School Resource Officer on our campus daily as well.
This week, we have many events where you can support our Rocket community. On Monday, jr. high volleyball plays Hardin Northern at home, and our regular monthly board meeting will be held at Tri Rivers Career Center starting at 6pm. On Tuesday, we will host the Ridgedale Rocket Cross Country Run starting at 4:30pm. High school golf plays in the NWCC 3rd tournament championship at King’s Mill and jr. high volleyball plays Upper Sandusky at home. On Thursday, high school volleyball plays at Hardin Northern, and it is elementary fall picture day. High school football plays at USV on Friday. On Saturday, JV volleyball plays in a tri match with RV and East Knox, and jr. high volleyball plays at Mt. Gilead.
Don’t forget there is no school this Friday, September 20, for teacher professional development.
We are proud to be a small district doing big things, so be sure to keep up to date with all of the news and events by using our website, Google Calendar, and social media.
If you are interested in substituting for our district in a variety of roles such as teacher, secretary, cafeteria, custodian, and aide, please apply on our website. Would you like to give back to our district as a bus driver? We can train you for this certification! We are actively searching for a bus route driver and substitute drivers. We would love to have you on our team!
Thank you for all you do for our students, our staff, and our community! Have a great week, and, as always, go, Rockets!
