Letter from Mr. Ripcho...
I hope this email finds everyone healthy and working from a nice safe place. This is just a short update.
Online Yearbook Deadline
Ripcho Studio will finally close it’s online yearbook sales on May 5th. That will give us time to calculate all of the various orders per school and print all books over the summer for a delivery to your school in the fall when schools reopen. If a parent still needs to order a yearbook after the May 5th deadline, just have them contact me directly.
Online picture sales
We have extended all of our online portrait ordering deadlines for your parent’s convenience.
Senior Lawn signs and Door banners
Many parents and schools have requested this new product allowing parents to celebrate their child’s graduation this year. A year of cancelled and postponed ceremonies. We will be rolling this product line out early May via an online announcement. Parents can order online and product will be shipped directly to their home. Schools can contact me personally if they want to discuss purchasing this product in volume.
Thank you and be safe!

Shout Out to SMS Students
Shout out to : Charis F.
Students in Miss Ruman's class had to read a Storyworks article and then create a TikTok to represent that article (showcase the theme etc.) Also, through their song choice represent their mood or tone of the story and Charis hit it out of the park. I will link the video here : https://vm.tiktok.com/7PfLPn/
You can really see the amount of time, effort, and thought while drawing and designing all of her characters while still thinking deeply about the text to be able to create this whole video.

He is always the first one to log in on Mondays and get all his work done! I am so proud of him and his focus right now. What a good kid!
Mrs. Quien
Shout out to: Caleb B. and Madelyn S.
These two students have worked very hard on Lexia. Their target minutes are now at 35 per week while most students' minutes are at an average of 110 minutes per week. This means that they have worked hard to complete units accurately as well as put the time in.
