Post Spring Break Message
Ridgeview United,
We have 6 weeks of school left to finish strong, and there is plenty of Ridgeview celebrating and even tradition to look forward to once we focus through April, Milestones testing, and important year-end activities. Celebrations for students who exhibit expected growth on their iReady end-of-year tests are ahead, the 8th grade picnic / celebration as well as the 8th grade dance are soon to come, and the traditional RCMS Olympics (a 30+ year tradition) return -- and more.
I ask for your partnership to ensure our students finish strong - academically, behaviorally, and socially. Thanks for helping us to continue reinforcing proper behavior and dress code, monitoring academic performance and work completion, and communicating with us as a team to support our favorite RCMS students. With our continued strong partnership, we'll see some great year-end outcomes for students followed by some celebratory times.
Enjoy spring break - and we'll see students on April 11th for a great 6 weeks ahead.
-Dr. Opie Blackwell

Title I Stakeholder Input Meeting
End of Grade Milestones Assessments
Georgia Milestones testing in Middle School is April 25 through May 6th. The tests measure knowledge and skills in language arts and mathematics for all students. 8th graders have additional tests in science and social studies. Milestones tests provide critical information about achievement and readiness for the next level of learning. With the absence of significant testing data from the last two years, this year’s scores will establish a new baseline for schools and the district. Participation is crucial. The district expects all students in grades 3-8 to participate. Thank you for helping us ensure a high rate of student participation.
