Ridgeview Elementary School

Good Morning, Here is an update on today's activities. The HS Girls Basketball game will now be played at Lexington HS at 1pm. Reminder this is an IHSA regional game, so no passes will be honored. The HS Boys Basketball game has been postponed. A make up date will be communicated in the coming days. The Princess Ball scheduled for this evening has been rescheduled for tomorrow from 2-4pm at the elementary school (so long as water has been restored). Thank you again for your patience and understanding! Mr. Young

Good Morning , At this time the Village of Colfax has experienced a water main break, resulting in there being no water throughout the entire village. As a result the school building is closed to use. We will be communicating in the coming hours any scheduling changes that may be necessary for events and activities today. Thank you for your understanding! Mr. Young

Happy Valentine's Day! Today we are showing one of Marshall's special features--his heart mark! When he gets smiling--his heart shows! We often say he wears his feelings on the outside--he is a happy boy! Marshall loves his kids and his job!

Good Morning, Ridgeview Schools are in session today (Thursday 2/13). Please dress warm and use caution on your way to school. Buses may be running a little behind schedule today. Thank you for your patience! Mr. Young

Good Afternoon, Due to the forecasted adverse weather for tomorrow, Ridgeview schools will implement an E-Learning Day tomorrow, Wednesday, February 12th. We are making this decision early to allow families time to plan. Teachers will reach out to students through our digital platforms to provide them with information on class expectations. All before school, after school, and evening practices and events are cancelled for tomorrow. We will continue to monitor the weather for any potential impacts on Thursday and will provide updates as needed. Stay safe and warm, and have a great evening! Mr. Young

Pre-K worked on creating 3D art during our Winter Study and built adorable snowmen.

Kindness! Marshall is happy to support the Student Councils first school wide project--creating a kindness chain! Being kind matters at Ridgeview!

Ridgeview Families, We will be in session today (Thursday, February 6). However, please use caution this morning. There are slick areas, even if they don't appear to be slick. Be aware our buses may be running slower than usual this morning. As a reminder - today is also a scheduled 2:05pm dismissal, and there is no school tomorrow (Friday). Thank you for your support of Ridgeview Schools, and have a great day! Mr. Young

Ridgeview Families, Due to the icy conditions forecasted for later this afternoon, Ridgeview schools will be dismissing at 1:30pm today. Lunch will be served today and our buses will run their typical afternoon routes starting at 1:30pm. All after school and evening practices and events are cancelled for today. Stay safe and warm and have a great day! Mr. Young

Good Morning Ridgeview Families, Just a quick update. As of right now, there are no major schedule changes. It appears weather is shifting to later in the afternoon. If we did need to implement an early dismissal today, the goal would be to make that decision by 11:30am. Again, we will continue to monitor the weather and keep you updated of any changes. Thanks! Mr. Young

Dear Ridgeview Families, We are closely monitoring and aware of the possibility of adverse winter weather returning for tomorrow. At this time, no decision has been made as the forecast continues to change. However, we want to ensure families are prepared for any potential changes to the school schedule. Depending on the timing and type of weather, adjustments to our day tomorrow may include any previously used changes (typical snow day or e-learning) or the possible use of an early dismissal (ex. dismissing at 1pm). We encourage all families to take time to develop a contingency plan in case an early dismissal is necessary. This includes making arrangements for student pickup, childcare, and any other necessary preparations. A final decision regarding the day and any schedule changes will be made tomorrow based on the latest weather updates. We will communicate any changes as soon as possible through our usual notification channels. Thank you for your cooperation and understanding, Erik Young Superintendent Ridgeview CUSD #19

Staff had fun with a different theme each day, including anything but a cup, flannel forever, dressing like a student, and other fun activities. Mrs. Manley, Mrs. Beck, Mrs. Tay, Ms. Benton, Mrs. Cichecki, Mrs. Donaldson, and Mrs. Schultz were the week's prize winners. #WeareRidgeview #Middleofeverywhere
