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.
It seems that our calls are going through more smoothly this past week! Hopefully, we are through the worst of this weather!
As a safety reminder, there should be no cars entering the backside of our buildings, that is the west side of our buildings, until after 3:15pm. This allows all of our buses to safely leave the campus. If you are attending an afterschool event, including athletic practices and events, please wait until after 3:15pm. This is essential for the safety of everyone.
Please remember if you have any safety concerns at any time, you can use our Stay Safe, Speak Up portal found on our website or in the app. This is monitored 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
