Make A Difference Day - MARK YOUR CALENDARS and join us!
MARK YOUR CALENDARS for our annual Make a Difference Day! This year Ridgeview students, staff, and parent volunteers will be serving throughout the community on Wednesday, May 23! We need your help in order to make this day a success! Sign up to volunteer by emailing Melissa_Morehart@plsd.us and please make sure to sign up online as a Level 1 volunteer if you have not done so already.
We are once again selling t-shirts to be worn on May 23rd. Shirts are $5, but you can add an additional donation of any amount on the TSHIRT ORDER FORM. Proceeds from the shirts will go toward a Haiti Meal Packaging project which one of the work teams will be doing on M.A.D.D. You may also opt to purchase a t-shirt to donate and we will make sure it goes to a student who may not be able to afford to buy one. Thank you in advance.
congratulations to ely potter
MAY DANCE IS COMING
Mark your calendars! Our May Dance for this year will be Saturday, May 5. Here are a few guidelines to keep in mind.
1. Beginning on April 2, our first day after spring break, any student that receives an In-school or Out-of-School suspension will not be permitted to attend the May Dance.
2. The dress code is semi-formal:
· Suit/tie(optional)/dress pants/ shirt with a collar
· Dresses or skirts must be no shorter than finger-tip length when arms are held straight down by the side.
· All dresses must have straps and appropriate chest coverage
· No bare midriffs
· Anyone not in compliance with the dress code will not be admitted to the dance.
Watch for more information and announcements about lunch time ticket sales soon!
Important Information regarding lunch accounts
Please note that the last day students will be able to charge a meal will be Thursday, May 10. After that date, students MUST have money in their My Payments Plus account to purchase lunch. This ensures the district can clear up end-of-year negative balances.
Please check your student’s My Payments Plus account at https://www.mypaymentsplus.com/ regularly to ensure there is sufficient money to receive a meal, as well as to clear up any possible negative balance.
Any money left over in the account will transfer over to next school year.
If a parent has a student who is graduating and has a positive balance of more than $5 left in the lunch account, there are two options.
The first option is to request a transfer of that money to any other student they may have at Pickerington Schools.If a refund is requested the parent calls the Food Service Office at 614-833-3645. Refunds are done through the Treasurer’s Office. They are done once a month at the end of the month. Upon request we fill out a refund slip with the student information, refund amount, and the name/address of the parent so a check can be mailed out.
Refunds of less that $5 will not be processed.
