SGC Elections Are Coming Soon
Elections for School Governance Council (SGC) are soon. The candidate declaration period runs Feb. 2 to March 2. We will have openings for two parents and one teacher.
Now is a particularly exciting and important time to get involved with SGC. This year, the SGC engaged in powerful work on two new initiatives in committees. One focuses on enhancing the image of RCMS in our community. The other focuses on celebrating diversity at our school. These committees are unique to Ridgeview, and every member of our council works passionately on one of the committees in addition to regular duties overseen and performed by the SGC.
Learn more about the RCMS SGC here and declare your candidacy here.
