Roadrunner Report
The rundown on Ridgewood Elementary School-April 13, 2020

Principal Perspective - Distance Learning for All!
We will develop a plan for students and teachers to clean out their personal items from our classrooms in the coming weeks. However, if you urgently need an item for your child from our building, please let me know and we can schedule a time for pick up.
I look forward to connecting with parents this week during our PTC meeting Tuesday evening and through virtual Coffee with the Principal on Wednesday morning. Please see you email for codes to each of these events.
Take care, and enjoy the sun this week!
Chromebook Round 3 is Coming!
We have completed two rounds of Chromebook distribution, but know there are still families waiting for Chromebooks. We do not yet know the date of our third round, but if you are still in need of a Chromebook, please email your teacher so that we can let you know when those become available.
Student Help Desk is Available
Please contact the Student Help Desk if your student(s) need help with BSD student devices or applications. Students can email the help desk at shd@beaverton.k12.or.us or call (503) 356-4656 for support.
Here to help you get connected!

Playground Closed
All Beaverton schools and buildings are closed and this includes our playgrounds, fields, and tracks. All outdoor gates have been locked in support of public health and to limit the spread of COVID-19. Due to limited staff we are unable to maintain safe fall zones at our play structures. Also, please note on Sunday, March 22, 2020, THPRD notified the community that their outdoor playgrounds and exercise equipment are closed to the public.

BOX TOPS COLLECTION GOES DIGITAL
The paper box top collection program has been discontinued by General Mill, so we are no longer collecting box tops at school. However, you can still earn money for Ridgewood; if you see the label below, simply use the new Box Tops app to scan your receipt. Box Tops are still worth the same amount and what’s great is the app will instantly add cash to the school’s earnings online. Find more info here.
