Hello Ridgeline Families-

So great to be heading into a beautiful weather weekend! Perfect way to end a great week.

On Monday we had the honor of inducting over 200 Ridgeline students into National Honor Society! It was great to have so many families present for the celebration.

Doing a little digging I found out we had more students eligible with a 3.5 or higher GPA that didn’t apply or missed the application deadline. Hope to get them inducted next year to recognize their effort and commitment to learning.

We have a great leadership opportunity coming up for students from all grade levels. We’re looking for Class Officers to elect now to lead us through the 22-23 school year. We’re making announcements and applications are available at school via the QR code posted around the commons.

I’m highlighting this for parents so you can remind and encourage your child to complete the application if they have an interest in grade level leadership.

We take our Mission seriously here, Belong. Inspire. Grow. I’ve never worked in a school or organization with youth where they know and can internalize the mission.

Just this week Mr. Rehkow shared a Public Service Announcement created by students, for the students at Ridgeline. The topic was the dangers of drug use. The message was very clear on how it affects relationships, ability to reach your goals, and your ability to Grow into a happy/healthy person. This was all done through the lens of B.I.G and I’m proud to see our students connecting their lives to our school mission to support their fellow classmates. Another example happened when I met with four very inspired 8th graders from Selkirk. These students are the “core four” responsible for putting together the Selkirk yearbook. They were so proud of what they accomplished they wanted to share it with me…the high school principal! They had done their homework and told me their story and how the yearbook is a very important tool to show how personal connections, recognizing individual and group accomplishments, and acknowledging how much students have grown over the year are the very essence of Belong. Inspire. Grow. I wasn’t just impressed, I was moved by their story.

The future is bright when we can connect with our Falcon Family beyond our walls!

Make it a great weekend! --Mr. Hardt

Tuesday, April 26th @ 7:00pm in the Ridgeline HS Commons, Mr. Parker will share some details about the expectations, the schedule and the steps to get involved as a member of the 2022 Ridgeline Regiment. There is no commitment if you come hear the spiel. Just a lot of good information, access to early-registration and a chance to connect and reunite with friends and families that had such an amazing inaugural year this past fall.

We would encourage you to bring your own device; laptop, chromebook, iPad, etc. The registration form is a little cumbersome to use on a cell phone. We expect to have a few devices available to loan out during the meeting; you do not have to decide right away, but for those who are ready to commit, you can get everything done that night if you like.

We are looking to bring in more band kids, orchestra kids and colorguard kids. But we are also looking for two trained piano players that will play an intricate role in the 2022 production. So if you know some piano players, encourage them to consider learning more about 2022 Regiment.

Can’t wait to see you all there!

Here is a tentative schedule for the coming season:

From the Attendance Desk

Reminder- School starts at 7:45am Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Friday. School starts at 8:15am on Thursday. We are starting to see more and more students arriving to school at or after the posted start time. This is causing students to be late to 1st period. It's really important that whether a student drives to school or is dropped off, they arrive with enough time to be in class and ready to go at 7:45 (M,T,W,F) or 8:15 (Th) depending on the day. Please talk with your students about the importance of being to school and classes on time.

If your student is absent from school please call our attendance line at 509-558-3801 to excuse their absence.

Go Falcons!
