Calendar Changes for 2020 (Reminder)
A reminder that RCMS will not have school on the following days due to local/state elections: March 24, April 21 and May 19.
March 24 remains a teacher work day (no student digital learning).
April 21 and May 19 are teacher work days/student digital learning days.
With Ridgeview being an elections polling location, our School Governance Council (SGC) could not use the request for flexibility (RFF) process to revert those days to traditional school days.
