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 through our cornerstones of learning, safety, community partnerships, and fiscal responsibility.
✅Parent-Teacher Conferences are just around the corner! There will be no school on Thursday, March 12, as conferences will be held from 11:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. Additional conference times will be available after school on Wednesday, March 18, from 4:00 to 6:30 p.m.
Conferences provide a dedicated time to discuss your child’s academic progress, strengths, areas for growth, and any questions or concerns you may have, and we encourage all families to attend and take advantage of this valuable time. Remember you can monitor grades at any time through PowerSchool, but conferences allow for deeper conversations about progress, goals, and how we can work together to ensure a successful remainder of the school year.
Please also note that there is no school on Friday, March 13, as our staff will be participating in professional development.
✅The pre-school application window opened on February 1 and closes on May 1. Applications can be found on the district website or call Ms. Outcalt.
✅Mark your calendars for Kindergarten Expo on Thursday, March 19. Please call Ms. Outcalt to schedule your time. All information is also on our website. All families are invited to stop into the Spring Book Fair Family Night as well.
