Here are some images from last week's homecoming festivities.

Last week we celebrated Homecoming. Here are some pictures of the excitement!

Good Afternoon, I wanted to make you aware our fire alarm activated again today at 10:47 a.m. The system was inadvertently triggered as routine work (on the system) was being conducted, and is unrelated to yesterday's alarm. It was a true false alarm.  All students and staff exited the building quickly and safely. The fire department did respond quickly, but were not needed. Students and staff were cleared to re-enter the building at 10:57 a.m.  Thank you for your support of Ridgeview Schools! Mr. Young

Good Afternoon, I wanted to make you aware our fire alarm went off today at 1:55 p.m., due to a mechanical issue. At this time the issue has been resolved. All students and staff exited the building quickly and safely. The fire department responded quickly and no heat, smoke or fire was detected. Students and staff were cleared to re-enter the building at 2:07 p.m.  Thank you for your support of Ridgeview Schools! Mr. Young

Menu Change Wednesday Option 1 chili will be paired with garlic knot and crackers not grilled cheese.

September Menus Food shortages are widespread, and our district is also experiencing shortages and last minute substitutions. We appreciate your understanding during this chaotic time and will try to communicate menu changes as quickly as possible.

Back to School Health Reminder!

Students, Parents, and Staff - The Ridgeview Board of Education voted tonight and approved changes to the Return to Ridgeview plan. The most significant change is masks are required for all students, staff, and visitors while they are in the building. This is change goes into effect immediately. The board will continue to revisit the issue at their monthly meetings and make changes as necessary. There are other changes to the plan impacting quarantine times. These changes were also approved. The revised plan will be posted tomorrow (Wednesday). Thank you for your patience as we continue to navigate these challenging times. Mr. Young

High School students have been out painting their parking spots and they look great! If you are still interested in painting your parking spot, stop in the office and speak to Mr. Burke. Put your own personal touch on Ridgeview High School and show your school pride!

School Starts Tomorrow! Welcome Back Mustangs! Doors open at 7:45am. When students arrive at school they will report to the HS gym balcony and will be dismissed to their first hour class at 8:10am. If you are eating breakfast, you may report to the cafeteria. Students will be issued Chromebooks during their first hour class. Students are able to use their lockers. We look forward to a great school year. Normal school day hours are 8:15am-3:05pm.

School starts tomorrow! This means buses will be out and about on the roads. Take a look at the picture so you know the proper protocol when you see a bus with their flashing lights activated. If the bus has activated the yellow lights - Slow Down and Be Ready to Stop! Students may be running to the bus, prior to it stopping. Always stop if the red lights are flashing!

Good Evening! Bus route information is now posted in Family Access. Thank you for your patience, as we had to re-work many of our routes. Please keep in mind the following points: 1. We still have students registering for school. This may impact routes. We will run an update each evening (over the next couple of days) and repost to Family Access. 2. As we get into the week and start running the routes, these times may fluctuate some. 3. Make sure the pick-up and drop-off location is correct. 4. Pre-K routes have not been loaded. If you have questions, or need to make changes, please contact the District Office or email district@ridgeview19.org with the requested change. Thank you again for your patience! Mr. Young

We are so excited to see all of our students return to school on Wednesday! We will be serving both breakfast and lunch at no charge again this year. Sadly production has not returned to normal at many of the companies that we get our products from so there will be intermediate menu changes. When menu changes occur we will post on Facebook.

Good Evening! An "All Call" to Parents and Staff was recently sent out at 4:30PM today (Friday). We are utilizing a new notification system, so the number the call came from maybe different than past calls(ex. Little Rock, AR). If you are a parent or staff member, and you did not receive a call, please contact the District Office to ensure we have your information correct. The information from the call can also be seen in Family Access. Have a great weekend! Mr. Young

Parking Spot Painting Postponed-Due to Weather We were hoping to have a fun evening painting parking spots tonight, but unfortunately the rain had a different idea. Painting wet pavement will just not work. We would still like to invite all high school students who paid to paint their parking spot to come and paint before school starts next Wednesday. Students are free to come in at a time that fits in your schedule. If you do not remember your parking spot number, please email Mr. Burke at bburke@ridgeview19.org. We ask that nobody parks in the assigned student parking spots, so students have access to paint their spot. The red spots on the diagram are off limits. If students still need a parking application or pick their parking spot, contact Mr. Burke or stop in the office Thursday between 8:00am and 3:00pm.

Update - online registration

6th Grade Meet the Teacher Open House Monday, August 16th 5:00pm-6:30pm

This group of Mustangs spent the weekend at ISU Team Volleyball Camp. Nice job working hard and learning new team skills!

We are inviting all student drivers who turned in their driving application and paid the $10 to paint their parking spot to join us in the parking lot on Wednesday, August 11th from 3:00pm-7:00pm. If you are wanting a parking spot and have not turned in your application, please email Mr. Burke at bburke@ridgeview19.org. If you are unable to attend the designated painting day, please reach out to Mr. Burke to schedule an alternative time to get your spot painted. If you have not turned in your sketch for approval, please have your plan ready to be approved before you begin painting. We look forward to seeing you all and your creativity.
