35th Annual Olympics
In an effort to promote academics first, we will only allow students to participate or spectate who do not have an Incomplete Grade from the fall or spring. Students who have an Incomplete Grade still have an opportunity to turn in their work by May 14th to participate or spectate.
Virtual students will be allowed to participate or spectate in Olympics, if they meet the above criteria, and if they are driven to and picked up from school on their Olympic day:
- 6th Grade Olympics: May 24th
- 7th Grade Olympics: May 25th
- 8th Grade Olympics: May 26th
Who Needs to Return Their iPad
Only students who are not returning to Ridgeview or Riverwood need to return their iPad, case, and charger block/cable.
If your student needs to turn in his or her device, please reach out to our registrar Maria Tapia at TapiaM@fultonschools.org or 470-254-7710 so that we can prepare the proper paperwork you will need to go to another school next fall (this is not required for students going to 9th grade at Riverwood).
