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 putting our mission in practice not only by preparing students with CTE courses, but also by working on soft skills, also called competencies, seen in our Portrait of a Rocket. You may recall we asked stakeholders to help us determine the essential competencies our students need. The first competency is communication. Communication is defined as the ability to articulate thoughts and ideas and effectively listen to and collaborate with others. Communication is a critical, lifelong skill.
📅The end of the first quarter is this Wednesday, October 15. We encourage you to check your child’s grades at any time by logging on to PowerSchool.
