Takashi Murakami is a Japanese artist who developed his own style in art history called SUPER FLAT. The first project for K-5 was a collaborative piece for the hallway bulletin board. Art minds are blooming folks!
All feelings welcome! Nervous, sad, sleepy or happy--Marshall picks up on how his students are feeling and gets to work! Marshall has a way of helping--no matter how you are feeling!

Attention 5th Grade Parents: Tonight's "band night" has been cancelled. Mr. Marchese will notify you once it has been rescheduled.
September in the Mustang Café.
Coyote and the Monster is told by Nez Perce Indians to explain their heritage. 5th grade ELA wrote a script for the story, chose characters, and performed in front of each other. Fluency, public speaking, and knowledge of this culture were demonstrated by the classes. Broadway or Hollywood, here we come!
Mr. Harms's 4th grade worked on their multiplication factor pairs and products utilizing a game board for some strategizing competition!

Dear Parent or Guardian,
At Ridgeview C.U.S.D. #19, the safety and security of our students and staff is our highest priority.
Each year the district partners with the Colfax Police Department and other local agencies to continually review
and update our emergency response procedures. Ridgeview uses the “I Love You Guys” Standard
Response Protocol (SRP), which is endorsed and supported by many school districts and law enforcement
agencies across the country. The SRP provides a common, easy-to-understand language for students, staff,
and first responders in emergency situations. The SRP focuses on five specific actions: Hold, Secure,
Lockdown, Evacuate, and Shelter. These actions allow everyone in the building to respond quickly, calmly,
and appropriately depending on the type of situation.
We are required by state law to conduct at least one law enforcement drill per school year that involves the
presence of law enforcement officials. This ensures that our students know their role during a potential threat.
During these drills, Ridgeview works in cooperation with the Colfax Police Department to provide a safe,
controlled opportunity for students to practice emergency procedures.
Our drill this year is scheduled for Thursday, September 4, 2025, at around 8:25 a.m. All students
(Elementary, Junior High, and High School) will practice the Lockdown portion, and we will have discussions
about the Evacuation procedures in a calm and orderly fashion. Police officers and school administrators will
walk through the building to ensure that staff and students are implementing the appropriate procedures.
Portions of the drill will require students to sit quietly out of sight (away from windows and doors), while other
portions will involve discussing evacuation procedures.
We hope that we will never have to use these procedures in a real-life situation, but it is important for all staff
and students to understand the steps in place to keep everyone safe at school. Parents and guardians have
the opportunity to exempt their child from participating in this drill if they wish. If you would like your child to opt
out, please contact your child’s school office by Tuesday, September 2, 2025.
Thank you for your support in helping us provide a safe learning environment for all students.
Sincerely,
Erik Young
Superintendent

Mrs. Brinkman's 5th grade worked together to stack cups. Mission was to stack the cups with only a string for each student tied to a rubber band. No touching the cups with any body parts. Communication and teamwork were key! They rocked it!
Help Save Fred! That was Mrs. Brinkman's 5th grade class challenge! Students had to save Fred, the gummy worm, from his capsized boat by putting him into his gummy life preserver using only two paper clips each. Teamwork, communication, problem solving and lots of laughter happened!
