Good Afternoon, Rocket Families!
This is Erika Bower, Superintendent of Ridgedale Local Schools—where we are committed to empowering students to reach their full potential through our core values of learning, safety, community partnerships, and fiscal responsibility. Our call is going out a little later this afternoon due to the FFA Banquet.
Don’t forget that open enrollment for the 2025-26 school year opens on April 1, 2025 and closes on June 1, 2025. Please be sure to get your application in.📝
It’s April, and we are coming upon Ohio State Testing time with our first tests being given next week! All testing dates are on the district Google calendar. This time of year allows us to show all of the learning and growth students have had over the course of the past year. Please be sure your child is well-rested, on-time to school, and tries their best on each test!
