Valentine's Day Candy + Treats Stay at Home
Our students can celebrate Valentine's Day by purchasing a Candy Gram February 8th-10th to be delivered to them through the PTA!
From FCS: As we approach Valentine’s Day, it is important to ensure that all homemade candy, desserts, baked goods, or other edible items are not to be sold or distributed during school hours. Please know that taking this measure will help us maintain a safe environment for all students. You can help us protect your student(s) by requesting that they not eat anything given to them by another person, anything that they have not brought from your home, or anything not in its original sealed package. Thank you for your continued partnership in keeping all of our students safe at school!
Candy Grams for Sale Tuesday - Thursday
Candygrams are back by popular demand! Just in time for Valentine's Day, students may purchase a box of candy 'conversation hearts' for $1 each (cash only) during lunch next Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday in the cafeteria. Our parent volunteers will deliver all candygrams to homeroom classes by the end of next week. Profits from candygram sales go towards end of year festivities for our very deserving eighth graders.

School Governance Council (SGC) Elections Coming Soon!
Elections for SGC are soon. The candidate declaration period runs February 2nd to March 2nd. We will have openings for one parent 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 at https://www.fultonschools.org/domain/3745.
