The Cedar Ridge Weekly

Message from Dr. Ramirez
Hello CRHS Learning Community,
I hope you all had a great Thanksgiving break. Like so many, my family had to change its plans. We had a small, cozy, and delicious holiday. As happens every year, I gained 4.2 pounds, my historical average.
😂
The new wing is nearly done. I am pictured above in what is called the learning commons. It's an open space in the center of the new wing, designed for seminar or large group meetings, and holds 120 seats at full non-Covid capacity. We still need to install Internet, phones, TVs and furniture prior to our January 25th opening. All English, Social Studies, and World Language classes will be held in this new addition. Nearly all students will have at least one class in the new wing.
Friday, December 4, is the last day to make your selection for your Spring Semester option. Students who do not complete the surveys will be automatically placed in the 100% remote plan. Students who have selected the Hybrid Plan (one week on, one week off), will need to select Group A or Group B. Students will need to let us know which group they prefer via a survey which will be sent out within the next few weeks.
If you have any questions, please reach out to your student's counselor or any school administrator.
Sincerely,
Dr. Ramirez
