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.
Don’t forget that open enrollment for the 2025-26 school year opened on April 1, 2025, and closes on June 1, 2025. Please be sure to get your application in.📝
There is no school this Friday, April 18 and Monday, April 21 for Spring Break! Enjoy time with your family!
Keep in mind that Ohio State Testing is starting this week! 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! Students in 3rd-8th grade ELA, ELA II, and Biology will test on Tuesday and Wednesday. High school students who are not testing and have a ride to school may come in two hours later on Tuesday and Wednesday.
