Good Afternoon,
This is an update to a message sent earlier this week.
On Monday, November 1 and Wednesday, November 3, we need to adjust a few of our bus routes for the AM routes only.
During the AM routes on these day, students riding Bus #24 (JC’s Bus), will be picked up by a different bus. Students will be picked up by Bus #23 (Dena’s Bus), Bus #22 (Marci’s Bus), or Bus #20 (Chuck’s Bus). Pick up times and number of riders may change for students on these routes. This change is similar to the route change we made previously at the end of September.
Again, this is only the AM routes on Monday and Wednesday. The PM routes will be as normal. If you have any questions, please let us know.
Thanks for your patience and understanding.
Mr. Young

Good Morning! Some of our buses may be running late due rerouting because of water on the pavement in some areas. Thank you for your patience.
Menu for October 2021
We are still experiencing food shortages so there will be menu changes. We will try to update everyone as soon as we know that there are changes.
Starting this afternoon, 9/28/2021, bus 18, 20, 22, 23 and 24 will resume their regular AM and PM schedules and drivers. Thank you with your patience as we work through this recent challenge.
The Ridgeview Marching Mustangs were able to capture Third Place at the EIU Marching Panther Invitational last Saturday.
They were also given the awards for Best Music, Best Drumline, and Best Auxiliary.
Lunch Menu for Friday
Ham sandwich, apple slices, baby carrots, juice box and cookie. I know originally Uncrustables was offered as a second option but that is something that is experiencing production problems and unfortunately we have not been receiving shipments of this product.
We are having a School Improvement Day on Friday, September 24th. Students will be served lunch and released from school at 12:05.
Good Afternoon,
I wanted to make you aware our fire alarm activated again today at 10:47 a.m. The system was inadvertently triggered as routine work (on the system) was being conducted, and is unrelated to yesterday's alarm. It was a true false alarm.
All students and staff exited the building quickly and safely. The fire department did respond quickly, but were not needed. Students and staff were cleared to re-enter the building at 10:57 a.m.
Thank you for your support of Ridgeview Schools!

Good Afternoon,
I wanted to make you aware our fire alarm went off today at 1:55 p.m., due to a mechanical issue. At this time the issue has been resolved. All students and staff exited the building quickly and safely. The fire department responded quickly and no heat, smoke or fire was detected. Students and staff were cleared to re-enter the building at 2:07 p.m.
Thank you for your support of Ridgeview Schools!

Menu Change Wednesday

Back to School Health Reminder!
Students, Parents, and Staff -
The Ridgeview Board of Education voted tonight and approved changes to the Return to Ridgeview plan. The most significant change is masks are required for all students, staff, and visitors while they are in the building. This is change goes into effect immediately. The board will continue to revisit the issue at their monthly meetings and make changes as necessary.
There are other changes to the plan impacting quarantine times. These changes were also approved. The revised plan will be posted tomorrow (Wednesday).
Thank you for your patience as we continue to navigate these challenging times.
Mr. Young
School starts tomorrow! This means buses will be out and about on the roads. Take a look at the picture so you know the proper protocol when you see a bus with their flashing lights activated. If the bus has activated the yellow lights - Slow Down and Be Ready to Stop! Students may be running to the bus, prior to it stopping. Always stop if the red lights are flashing!
Good Evening!
Bus route information is now posted in Family Access. Thank you for your patience, as we had to re-work many of our routes. Please keep in mind the following points:
1. We still have students registering for school. This may impact routes. We will run an update each evening (over the next couple of days) and repost to Family Access.
2. As we get into the week and start running the routes, these times may fluctuate some.
3. Make sure the pick-up and drop-off location is correct.
4. Pre-K routes have not been loaded.
If you have questions, or need to make changes, please contact the District Office or email district@ridgeview19.org with the requested change.
Thank you again for your patience!
Mr. Young
Good Evening!
An "All Call" to Parents and Staff was recently sent out at 4:30PM today (Friday). We are utilizing a new notification system, so the number the call came from maybe different than past calls(ex. Little Rock, AR).
If you are a parent or staff member, and you did not receive a call, please contact the District Office to ensure we have your information correct. The information from the call can also be seen in Family Access.
Have a great weekend!
Mr. Young
