Starting this afternoon, 9/28/2021, bus 18, 20, 22, 23 and 24 will resume their regular AM and PM schedules and drivers. Thank you with your patience as we work through this recent challenge.
The Ridgeview Marching Mustangs were able to capture Third Place at the EIU Marching Panther Invitational last Saturday.
They were also given the awards for Best Music, Best Drumline, and Best Auxiliary.
Varsity girls volleyball team defeated Lexington tonight. Go Mustangs!
Lunch Menu for Friday
Ham sandwich, apple slices, baby carrots, juice box and cookie. I know originally Uncrustables was offered as a second option but that is something that is experiencing production problems and unfortunately we have not been receiving shipments of this product.
This is a reminder that we are having a School Improvement Day on Friday, September 24th. Students will be served lunch and released from school at 12:05.
Come out to support the Lady Mustangs tomorrow night at 5:30pm as the Volleyball team takes on Lexington. Wear your white!

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!

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.
