As we continue celebrating Principal Appreciation Month, this week, we're applauding Mrs. Reardon, our Elementary School Assistant Principal. Great schools start with great leaders! We’re so grateful for everything our principals do to support our students, staff, and families.
Chestnut Family Health will be at Ridgeview on Thursday Oct 22nd, offering free flu shots to staff, students, and community members after school until 6pm. You can make an appointment with the link, but Walk-Ins are Welcome! Please park in the new parking lot just across the street from the elementary or at the baseball diamond and enter the building through the District Office doors.

Behind every thriving student is a support system, and our school psychologists are right at the heart of it. School psychologists are key to helping students navigate challenges, build resilience, and unlock their full potential. From supporting mental health and learning needs to creating safe, inclusive environments, your expertise and empathy make our school community stronger every single day.
Minimal disruption to the surrounding area is expected. Please be aware of increased construction vehicle activity in the immediate area.
Thank you for exercising extra caution while driving through the area and for your patience as we make progress on the school project!
Bring your smiles!

Every construction project is full of surprises, and this past week was no exception! While demolition was occurring at the main entrance, a time capsule was uncovered under the 1952 cornerstone. The cornerstone was being removed to be reincorporated into the new addition, but we ended up saving a secret piece of history instead!
Locked away for over 70 years, this little metal box has been sitting right beneath our feet, waiting for its moment in the spotlight. Talk about an unexpected plot twist in the blueprints!
We don’t have plans to open it, as we would like to learn more about it - including if there were specific expectations. We are beginning to dig through yearbooks and newspapers from that time period. If you or someone you know may have additional information, please let us know. Email us at district@ridgeview19.org
Also, we would like to incorporate some of our local school history into the building. If you have Octavia, Saybrook-Arrowsmith, or Ridgeview memorabilia you are willing to part with, please email us a picture of it, and we will be in touch.
Stay tuned! We’ll be sharing more information in the near future!
Teachers do more than share knowledge—they ignite curiosity, build confidence, and inspire the next generation of dreamers and doers.
To the educators who show up with passion, patience, and purpose every single day: your impact stretches far beyond the walls of the classroom. Thank you for shaping minds, guiding futures, and constantly believing in the potential of every student.
Bright hallways, spotless classrooms, and a safe environment don't happen by accident—they happen because of our incredible custodial team.
Behind every day of learning is a dedicated custodian working tirelessly behind the scenes. From early morning setups to late-night cleanups (and every unexpected spill in between), your hard work keeps our community running smoothly and safely. Thank you!
