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.
This week, to focus on our cornerstone of safety, our students and staff will be engaging in "table top" discussions about various safety scenarios. These conversations are designed to help our students think through what they, and others, may do if or when certain situations arise. Additional support will be available to students who may need additional processing time.
There are many events this week where you can support our Rockets! On Monday, jr. high girls’ basketball plays at Perry while jr. high boys’ basketball plays at home against Perry. High school girls’ basketball plays at home as well. On Tuesday, our bowling team competes at Lex Lanes. On Wednesday, high school boys’ basketball plays at home. On Thursday, seniors will have their senior composite picture taken. Please check with your child for their time. On Saturday, high school wrestling competes at Olentangy, jr. high boys’ basketball plays at home, jr. high girls’ basketball plays at Bucyrus, and high school boys’ basketball plays at home.
Please remember to regularly check your child’s grades. You can access them on PowerSchool. Please contact your child’s building if you need help accessing PowerSchool.
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 and partnership with Muskingum Valley ESC Driver’s Education, which allows students to train at a reduced rate.
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? 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!
