Dear Ridgeview School District Parents and Guardians, We wanted to inform you of an important change to our schedule that will occur on May 3rd, 2024. Due to unforeseen circumstances in the Lexington school district, Ridgeview was asked to host the Class 1A IESA Sectional Track Meet for Lexington on our campus. We work with Lexington in a number of capacities, including cooperative agreements with multiple athletic teams. In order to accommodate this event and support another local school district in need, we will dismiss school early at 1:45pm on Friday, May 3, 2024. This will allow enough time for our students and staff to dismiss, prior to the track meet beginning. Buses would run approximately 1 hour and 15 minutes earlier than normal. We understand that this change may cause some inconvenience, and we sincerely appreciate your cooperation and understanding in this matter. Your flexibility and support are invaluable as we work to ensure the success of this event and the opportunities it presents for both Ridgeview and Lexington students. If you have any questions or concerns regarding the early dismissal or the track meet, please do not hesitate to contact us. We are here to assist you in any way we can. Thank you once again for your understanding and support of Ridgeview Schools! Erik Young Superintendent

Hello Ridgeview Families! Next week the 3rd, 4th, and 5th grade Ridgeview student’s will be starting our annual Illinois Assessment of Readiness (IAR) and Illinois Science Assessment (ISA) testing. All students will need the following things: (Headphones, Charged Chromebook, Great night's sleep, and a Positive can-do attitude!) Student’s will have the opportunity to earn prize tickets on testing days. Those tickets then will go into a container for their specific grade level and names will be drawn randomly for a chance to win some mystery test prizes. Each student can earn two tickets daily by doing the following two things: (1) Being PREPARED (headphones, Chromebook charged) and (2) Giving their BEST effort!
