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.
Marshall is proud that he passed his annual recertification test in October! He trained and practiced so he can keep motivating, encouraging and loving on his kids!
If you are not able to make it to the book fair, set up an e-wallet so that your student can shop during the school day.

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!
