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.
The weekly one call is coming out a day early because tomorrow, Sunday, May 18, we are celebrating graduation at 2pm! If you see our seniors, be sure to congratulate them on all of their hard work and wish them well as they continue to make a difference in our community and beyond! 🎓📜🌟
Please note that one calls will not occur weekly over the summer, but watch our social media and website for updates!
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 before June 1.📝
2025 Yearbooks are on sale now! Go to www.balfour.com and use school code 58835. Early order discount is until May 31, 2025, and the store closes on July 31, 2025. Contact Mr. Greenwood with any questions.
Also note, on Tuesday, we will be completing designation drills through cooperative efforts with Project Adam led by Nationwide Children's Hospital in an effort to make our school Heart Safe. The drills will take place around 9am and will be completed by 10am. It is our wish to ensure that our campus is prepared to provide an immediate response to someone suffering a cardiac emergency. The goal of the drill is for an AED to be retrieved and applied within 3 minutes of a cardiac emergency. If you have any questions or concerns, please don't hesitate to reach out.
