Come Out to the Parent Party!
Are you having a hard time finding a place to amaze everyone with your talented yard game moves? We know where you need to be! Come to the Ridgeview Parent Party at Pontoon Brewing, happening March 18. Even if you're not into yard games, come to mingle with friends and teachers, meet new parents, nosh on bites, have a cold brew, watch March Madness AND support the Ridgeview Foundation!
Try an experience that you've never tried before with an item in the silent auction. If you've never seen a Broadway show at the magical Fox Theatre, bid on tickets to see the smash hit "Wicked" this summer. If you haven't gotten around to catching a Braves or Georgia Bulldogs game, now's your chance! You can even bid on an enchanted sushi experience from local restaurant Bishoku, or find many more items just waiting to be discovered. We'd love to have you join us!
The Date and Time: March 18 from 7-10 p.m.
The Place: Pontoon Brewing - the first microbrewery in Sandy Springs!
The Tickets: Purchase your tickets here.
No School For Students March 13 & 14
This is a reminder to families that all schools in FCS have two upcoming no school days on March 13 and 14 to support teacher and staff professional development.
Thank You, School Board Members
Fulton County Schools is joining in a statewide celebration to acknowledge the work and dedication of our local school board members. The week of March 13-17 has been proclaimed School Board Appreciation Week in Georgia. Each member contributes her own strengths to the district, and these different contributions and perspectives make our Board a formidable group. Ms. Katie Gregory (district 3) and Dr. Michelle Morancie (district 7) specifically serve the Ridgeview community. We thank them for their leadership, their commitment to our students and our community, and for supporting our mission, “Where Students Come First.”
