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 through our cornerstones of learning, safety, partnerships with our community, and fiscal responsibility.
As you know, we are looking for route bus drivers! If you are interested in driving, we can train you. Please reach out as soon as possible. With this in mind, we want to remind you that bus 8 will be running one hour late tomorrow, Monday, November 18, 2024, for the morning and afternoon routes. Bus 8 students who attend Tri Rivers and are self-transporting to RHS should be here by 7:40am. Please contact your child’s building office with any changes for your student on this day. We apologize for the inconvenience. Please share our need for drivers with others!
On Monday, our regular board meeting takes place at 5:30pm, and the cross country team will have their banquet at Baker's Pizza. MTC will be visiting high school students at lunch time on Wednesday. The bowling team competes at Cooper’s Bowl against Kenton on Thursday. On Friday, 3rd graders will have their Donuts with Grownups at 7:30am. We will also be holding our next Fueled Up Friday focusing on the Portrait of a Rocket competencies of communication, integrity, and responsibility. Be sure to ask your child about what they learned about and engaged in during this time! Basketball teams have scrimmages this week before they kick off their seasons next week! Wrestling teams will have practices with their competition season starting in December.
Do you have a child who is ready to start driver’s education? Be sure you reach out to Ms. Clark at the jr/sr high to get scheduled through our CODE Grant. We have partnered with Muskingum Valley ESC Driver’s Education to provide this at a reduced cost!
We are 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.
Are you looking for a way to give back to our community? Remember, we are actively searching for bus drivers to drive regular routes! We can train you for this certification. We are also hiring subs for teachers, food services, custodians, secretaries, aides, and bus drivers. You can apply on our website.
Thank you for all you do for our students, our staff, and our community! Have a great week, and, as always, go, Rockets!
