Good afternoon, Rocket families!
This is Erika Bower, Superintendent of Ridgedale Local Schools, where we are dedicated to empowering students to reach their full potential through our core values of learning, safety, community partnerships, and fiscal responsibility.
Speaking of fiscal responsibility, exciting building updates are on the way! Our next major project includes upgrading the heating system at the Jr./Sr. High School, which will add air conditioning and replace ceiling tiles as well. Our project partner is finalizing plans to begin construction as early as March 2024, with full completion expected by Spring 2026. Stay tuned for updates as we enhance our facilities for students and staff!
A few important reminders for the week:
📌 No school on Monday, February 17, in observance of Presidents’ Day.
📌 Elementary Spring Picture Day is on Thursday—smiles ready! 📸
📌 OHSAA Sectional Wrestling Tournaments are happening here on Friday and Saturday—stop by to cheer on the athletes!
📌 Tournament play is in progress, and game schedules may change—stay updated via our website and social media.
