If your child did interact with this email, please email me: eyoung@ridgeview19.org I will need your child's name/email address to forward to our IT department. Thank you for your help and have a great weekend! Mr. Young

Good Morning, Here is an update on today's activities. The HS Girls Basketball game will now be played at Lexington HS at 1pm. Reminder this is an IHSA regional game, so no passes will be honored. The HS Boys Basketball game has been postponed. A make up date will be communicated in the coming days. The Princess Ball scheduled for this evening has been rescheduled for tomorrow from 2-4pm at the elementary school (so long as water has been restored). Thank you again for your patience and understanding! Mr. Young

Good Morning , At this time the Village of Colfax has experienced a water main break, resulting in there being no water throughout the entire village. As a result the school building is closed to use. We will be communicating in the coming hours any scheduling changes that may be necessary for events and activities today. Thank you for your understanding! Mr. Young

Good Morning, Ridgeview Schools are in session today (Thursday 2/13). Please dress warm and use caution on your way to school. Buses may be running a little behind schedule today. Thank you for your patience! Mr. Young

Good Afternoon, Due to the forecasted adverse weather for tomorrow, Ridgeview schools will implement an E-Learning Day tomorrow, Wednesday, February 12th. We are making this decision early to allow families time to plan. Teachers will reach out to students through our digital platforms to provide them with information on class expectations. All before school, after school, and evening practices and events are cancelled for tomorrow. We will continue to monitor the weather for any potential impacts on Thursday and will provide updates as needed. Stay safe and warm, and have a great evening! Mr. Young
