Weekly  Update

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. Welcome to summer break! We had a fantastic year! If you are out by the elementary, you will notice that we are doing some work on our playground! Grand Prairie Township received a grant and donated new playground equipment for our students. We cannot wait to watch the progress on this project! This week, both our 21st Century Power Hours and our YMCA grant Summer Learning Programs start.

Just a reminder as we move into the summer schedule, I will do one calls as needed versus every week. As we get closer to the 2023-24 school year starting, I will move back to weekly calls. Go ahead and mark your calendars for the first day of school, which is Tuesday, August 22nd. Open House is scheduled for Monday, August 21st, from 4-6pm. You can find the new school calendar on our website.

The 2023 yearbooks are on sale with an early purchase discount right now! The store closes at the end of June. Look for the link on our website under the news section. 2022 yearbooks are on delay; watch for updates soon! If you have any questions, please contact Mr. Greenwood at igreenwood@ridgedaleschools.org.

Thank you for all you do for our students, our staff, and our community! Make it a great week, have a great summer, and Go, Rockets!
