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.
🎉🥳👏We made it! The 2024-25 school year has come to a close! This summer, our maintenance, custodial, administrative, and support staff will be preparing for the new school year! One of our largest projects will be the continued work on the new HVAC system in the jr/sr high building. The new heating system will be up and running before the colder months, and the air conditioning is slated to be completed in the spring of 2026. We will also be working on a fencing project around the remainder of the playground as well as between the elementary and playground. This project is made possible through a safety grant. 🛠️🚧
⏰📌Don’t forget that open enrollment for the 2025-26 school year opened on April 1, 2025 and closes on June 1, 2025. Remember that the open enrollment form is separate from Final Forms.
