We are Ridgy Ready!

Have you heard your student using the term "Ridgy Ready?" This is the term we use to manage behavior in a positive way. We are Ridgy Ready at the ECC by being : Safe, Responsible and Respectful. We have Ridgy Ready Expectations for every place at our school including: classrooms, restrooms, hallways, playground, cafeteria, emergency situations, bus. When students show that they are Ridgy Ready, they earn Ridgy Ready tickets that go in the prize buckets in the main hall. Student tickets from each homeroom class are drawn each day on Channel 97 for prizes.
