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.
Don’t forget that there is no school tomorrow, Monday, April 1, as we are on Spring Break. On Monday, high school track will compete at home against USV and Waynesfield Goshen, high school softball and baseball will play Elgin at home, and junior high baseball will play at Lincoln Park.

In addition, if you have a child who is eligible for preschool next year, you can sign them up by finding the application on our website.
