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.

Happy New Year’s Eve! Our winter break is coming to a close, and we are excited to welcome our students and staff back to school on Wednesday, January 3, 2024!

Not only do we welcome everyone back, but we have many events coming up as well! On Wednesday, bowling will compete at Gilead Christian, and high school boys’ basketball will play at East Knox. This includes freshmen, JV, and varsity teams. On Thursday, the high school girls’ basketball will play at home against Mansfield Christian. The high school boys’ basketball will play at home against Temple Christian on Friday. Saturday is a full day! High school wrestling competes at Olentangy Orange while junior high wrestling competes at Triad. The junior high boys’ basketball will play at Bucyrus, and the junior high girls’ basketball plays at home versus Bucyrus. Bowling will compete in the Crestline Baker Bash. High school boys’ and girls’ basketball will play at Tree of Life. Thank you for supporting our students!

Mark your calendars for Wednesday, January 10! The elementary will be hosting the 2nd Annual Winterfest and academic night from 4-6pm. 

Don’t forget that the end of the second quarter is Friday, January 12!

Check out the Google Calendar on our website for all events! You can also follow us on Facebook, Twitter, and the LiveFeed to see all of the amazing work being done in our schools!

If you are looking for a part-time job that provides flexibility and allows you to make a difference in our community, consider becoming a substitute in our schools! You can join our team as a substitute aide, teacher, cafeteria worker, custodian, secretary, and/or bus driver. Please fill out an application on our website, and email me to set up an interview.
