Message from the Principal
I want to wish all of our RMS students and families a happy holiday season. May you have restful and rejuvenating winter break with your loved ones.
As we approach winter break, we are mindful that there will be four weeks left in Term 2 when we return. Parents and students should continue to check Skyward grades and communicate with teachers when needed.
In Term 1, 86% of Ridgeline students passed all their classes. Great job, students! We appreciate your hard work and effort toward learning and growing in the skills and knowledge that will help you be successful in high school and beyond.
Counselors recently went into 8th grade classes to teach students about their high school and beyond plan. We want all Ridgeline students not only to be successful in middle school but also to be building the habits and skills necessary for high school success and on-time graduation.
We have enjoyed seeing students and families out in the community at events such as Lights at Night and Christmas in the Park! Building positive relationships with our community is important to Ridgeline staff.
Again, we wish you a safe and happy holiday season! School resumes after break on January 3, 2022 We look forward to seeing you all again in the new year!
Mr. Craig Curry,
RMS Principal
