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 through our cornerstones of learning, safety, partnerships with our community, and fiscal responsibility.
Happy New Year! We are excited to welcome back our students and staff! We are almost officially halfway done with the 2024-25 school year. As a matter of fact, the end of the second quarter is Friday, January 10, 2025, so be sure to encourage your child to finish strong.
We have quite a few events this week! On Monday, the jr. high boys’ basketball game is at home against Temple, and the athletic and music boosters will meet as well. On Tuesday, high school girls’ and boys’ basketball teams play at Liberty Christian. On Wednesday, high school bowling competes at Mt. Vernon. On Thursday, high school bowling competes at Cooper Lanes against Pleasant, the high school girls’ basketball takes on Mansfield Christian, and the Board of Education will meet for an organizational meeting as well as a regular meeting. On Friday, high school bowling takes on Elgin at Blue Fusion, and high school boys’ basketball competes at Temple Christian. It’s a busy Saturday with jr. high wrestling at Fostoria, jr. high boys’ basketball at home, jr. high girls’ basketball at Mt. Gilead, and high school girls’ basketball at Calvary Christian.
Mark your calendar for Monday, January 20, 2025. There is no school in honor of Martin Luther King, Jr. Day.
Would you like to be a part of our small district doing big things? We are still actively searching for bus drivers to drive regular routes! We can train you for this certification. We are also hiring subs for teachers, food services, custodians, secretaries, aides, and bus drivers. You can apply on our website.
Thank you for all you do for our students, our staff, and our community! Have a great week, and, as always, go, Rockets!
