Good Afternoon, Rocket Families!🚀

This is Erika Bower, Superintendent of Ridgedale Local Schools. Our mission is to empower students to reach their full potential through our cornerstones of learning, safety, community partnerships, and fiscal responsibility. We are proud to offer many Career Technical Education classes right here on our campus. We have shared about pre-nursing and agriculture. This week, we will highlight the engineering pathway. Students are able to learn about the fundamentals of engineering concepts and scientific principles of engineering design with hands-on learning. Students are able to join our robotics team where they can compete in VEX robotics competitions as well. 

🚀Power Hours will be starting on Monday, October 6. This is our before and after school programming for students in grades K-8. Students are able to have fun with friends while participating in kidfit activities, stem lessons, club choice, homework help, reading and math tutoring, and social emotional learning awareness. Hours are from 6:30-8am Monday-Friday, and 3:00-5:00pm Monday-Thursday. If you are interested in Power Hours, email Miss Crease at ecrease@rdigedaleschools.org.
