Mrs. McCoy's kindergarten class has loved celebrating the end of the five senses unit this week. Activities included a listening walk, a scavenger hunt, and making homemade French bread.
A heartfelt "thank you!" to our custodians! No matter what call comes over the radio--there is always an amazingly positive and helpful custodian on the other end! Happy to celebrate the crew that keeps us moving forward!
A special thank you to some of our student council members for delivering our appreciation gifts and cards.
🧹✨It's Custodian Appreciation Day! ✨🧹
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!

On the advice and request of the Colfax Police Department, we are keeping all students and staff inside the building, until further notice. This is in response to ongoing police activity occurring near our school. There is no immediate threat or danger to our students, staff, or building.

Sometimes the best way to relax during a busy day of learning is to share a peaceful moment with Marshall. His gentle, steady presence has a way of helping friends slow down, take a deep breath, and prepare us for more fun at school.
Celebrating the softer moments and love that Marshall brings---expecting nothing in return--but maybe a little snuggle!
Spreading warmth, one cozy scarf at a time!
Thanks to Ms. Melissa and her incredibly kind donation, we have a bundle of beautiful, hand made scarves--ready to keep Ridgeview kids snug and warm from the cold this season.
Seeing the big smiles on these kids' faces when they pick out their perfect scarf is pure magic--thank you for making a difference in our community and being a wonderful role model of kindness.
Our Character Strong curriculum has been refreshing our student body all about respect this month!
Respect isn't just something our students practice—it’s a core part of who they are.
Thank you to our students for leading by example! We love to celebrate you!
October in the Mustang Cafe.
Ridgeview Class of 2019!
Remember when you wrote a book in 2nd grade and your teacher (either Ms. Sands or Mrs. House) had it made into a hardback book? You received a copy then, and a copy was kept at school.
Seventeen years later, those second copies have made their way to the District Office desk and we would love to get yours back to you!
If you or one of your family members would like to stop in and pick up your book, please contact Taryn Lopshire in the Ridgeview District Office at (309)-723-5111, tlopshire@ridgeview19.org to verify your copy is here and arrange a time to do that.
Mrs. Hofferts shoe designers. Do we have the next Air Jordan?
Fourth grade art students practicing contour line drawing, and modeling their own shoes. Up next?? More contour lines, of course! Self portraits made of pipe cleaners spoiler alert.
Third grade art class of the month winners dig into the prize box. Great job!
