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.
Thank you for your support with our cell phone policy! Students are doing a great job following the red and blue cards and talking to each other throughout the day! Don’t forget, this year, we are using the Safer Ohio Tip Line to report concerns. The tip line is an anonymous reporting system that accepts tips via call, text, webform, and mobile app 24 hours-a-day. You can download the Safer Ohio School Tip Line app, call or text 844-SAFEROH, or use the webform. You can also contact our administrative team and staff directly through our website.
Did you know that we have pickleball courts? These are located in the north parking lot. Right now, we have cones out around the courts so that people do not drive across the courts.
Don’t forget there is no school tomorrow, Monday, September 1. On Wednesday, jr. high volleyball plays at North Baltimore. The marching band will be in the Popcorn Festival parade, and jr. high football plays at Ridgemont on Thursday. On Friday, the golf team competes against Harding, and high school football hosts Ridgemont. Saturday is a full day with cross country at the Seneca East Invite, high school volleyball is at Upper Sandusky, and jr. high volleyball is at Delaware Hayes.
We are proud to be a small district doing big things, so be sure to keep up to date with all of the news and events by using our website, Google Calendar, and social media.
If you are interested in substituting for our district in a variety of roles such as teacher, secretary, cafeteria, custodian, and aide, please apply on our website. Would you like to give back to our district as a bus driver? We can train you for this certification! We are actively searching for a bus route driver and substitute drivers. We would love to have you on our team!
Thank you for all you do for our students, our staff, and our community! Have a great week, and, as always, go, Rockets!
