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. As part of our safety cornerstone, we would like to take another minute to remind students to ensure they are being kind to others, including using kind words. Taking a moment to speak kindly to another person can certainly have long-lasting effects.
Here are some important reminders about events this week and beyond:
Don’t forget that there is no school tomorrow, Monday, February 20, as we celebrate Presidents’ Day.
FFA week is this week! There are some fun spirit activities for the week to celebrate!
As we are preparing our school calendars for the next two school years, we are planning to add one more professional day for our staff. This will result in one less instructional day for students; however, we will still be well over the required hours from the state.
