In keeping with our firm commitment to effective communication with our school community, I am writing to advise you of a currently ongoing situation. 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.
We are only doing this out of an abundance of caution.
Our School Resource Officer is onsite, and classes are proceeding as normal throughout the building.
Once more details become available, I will share those with you. If you have any questions please feel free to contact the Ridgeview District Office.

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!

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!

We finally got to use our Jimothy puppets in first and second grade art class this week. We practiced our social skills and also started some more Spark Fest projects.
Happy Arts in Education Week!
This week, we celebrate the dedicated educators who inspire creativity and the students whose imaginations light up our classrooms. From canvas and clay, to school plays, to soaring musical melodies and beyond, the arts empower our students to see the world in bright, dynamic ways and discover their unique voices.
Big THANKS go out to:
*Our Art Teachers: Mrs. Hoffert & Ms. Benton
*Our Music Teachers: Mrs. Aupperle & Mr. Marchese
*Our Theatre Directors: Mr. Metz & Mr. Scholp
THANK YOU for teaching and inspiring us to create!
Mrs. McCarty's 2nd grade played a fun new game of word battleship!
Flashback time! In honor of Homecoming, more Ridgeview staff pulled out their old high school photos and paired them with their best advice for surviving—and thriving—in high school. Enjoy!
In honor of Homecoming week, we’re throwing it back with our Ridgeview staff members who are also proud alumni. We hope you've enjoyed their flashback photos and questionnaire responses to see what high school was like for them! Our school nurse, Alesha Starks, is wrapping up the features for us.
