Families,

 

We got through the first full week of school! It was an awesome week as staff are continually getting to know their students! Fall sports are in full swing and we start our first competitions next week.

We also kicked off our September focus around being a professional student. This week we focused on organization and it was a great way to lay the foundation for the rest of the year.

Have a great weekend and looking forward to the week ahead!

This year, every month we are going to have a specific character focus that we are working on as a school. For the month of September, we are focusing on Professional Student. Each week, we will be focusing on different aspects of being a professional student. For this first full week our focus is going to be around organization. This will be a great way to set the foundation for the year ahead!

Here is a link to the Student Handbook. This handbook has our expectations for our students here at Ridgetop.

We reviewed this with students this week along with going over our common area (bathroom, hallways, cafeteria) expectations with students. Please feel free to take a few mins to go through this to familiarize yourself with our expectations for our students.

Our first dance of the school year is on Sept. 26th from 2:15 - 4:00pm. Students need to purchase a ticket to go to the dance. They can be purchased at the ASB window during lunch and before school. Ticket costs are $3 if a student has paid for their ASB card, and $5 if they haven't.

As we enter a new school year, one of the things that I really want to stress is our drop off and pick up process.

Please ensure that if you are dropping off and/or picking up your student that you go into our parking lot area to do this. There will be two lanes of traffic as you drive through. Please remind your student to use the cross walk as they are crossing the bus lane to get in and out of school. If you are wanting to park and wait for your student, you can do so on the side parking lot. Please make sure to park in a stall and not along the road.

Please do not drop off students on Hillsboro Dr as that interrupts the flow of traffic for those that are driving through and can be very unsafe. Also, please do not drop students off in the bus lane area as busses come in and out of that area.

We are so excited to see so many students participating in fall sports. Right now we have over 200 students in a fall sport and that is awesome to see so many of them engaging in a sport at Ridgetop. 

With that being said, with so many students participating in sports, we want to recognize that pick up after practice can be hard and difficult. Our parking layout is not conducive to having so many people here during a specific time. So, to help with that, we would like to try out something a little different for athletic pick up. 

As you will see from this map, we have 3 different areas where you can park and wait for your student. You can park in the main parking area in front of the school, on the side parking lot, and if need be at Silver Ridge Elementary next door. 

We will also offer a staging area, which will be along the sidewalk (right lane) in front of our building. This is marked in green on the attached map. Please keep in mind that if you are choosing to be in the staging area that you leave the left lane open so that cars that have their student can pull into the left lane and exit the school. The staging area will start right after the turn into the side parking lot and will end right before the exit of the main parking lot area. This will ensure that cars do not block other cars that are wanting to go into the side parking lot or cars exiting the main parking area. We will not have a staging area in the main parking lot. 

We definitely recognize that this may not be perfect, and we are willing to adjust as need be. We ask that families are patient and respectful to each other as we try to make this process better for all. Thank you and we are excited to watch all of our Raiders in action this fall!
