Thank you to everyone in our Ridgeline Community for helping us kick off the school year in excellent fashion!

I can’t say enough great things about our students! They have been so awesome and their enthusiasm for school, and life in general, is exactly what is needed!

Thank you to parents and the Ridgeline staff for being flexible, nimble, and committing to working together to provide the most positive experience for kids.

We acknowledge the learning curve and working out the details whether it is transportation, student schedules, lunch procedures, etc… After just three days, every aspect of the school day experience is getting dialed in. We appreciate patience and understanding!

Masking mandates are continuing in school, and with the Governor’s latest announcement we expect to get new guidance on outdoor activities as well.

A very important activity we have happening right now is the most fundamental aspect of what we do… we have kids in school-- teaching and learning together. It inspires me to be in our classrooms and to see and hear student voices, see the light in their eyes, feel their energy! I’m passing along my experience so you can know great things are happening, and the simple ‘moments’ are making a big impact on all of us.

Make it a great weekend! –Mr. Hardt

On Tuesday, September 7th, on a beautiful calm evening, over 400 excited and nervous freshmen entered the Ridgeline stadium for the first time. There they were greeted by 68 warm and welcoming Falcon Crew leaders. Principal Jesse Hardt introduced himself and his administrative team, then warm ups and activities designed to connect our freshmen were led by Mrs. Demarest and Mrs. Grisafi. After 45 minutes of field activities, the Falcon Link Crew Leaders then led groups of 15 plus freshmen into designated classrooms. There they introduced themselves, played name games, team juggling, offered information about Ridgeline’s specific clubs and athletics, shared advice for high school success, and then gave them a guided school tour. We wish our RHS Class of 2025 a great school year! We are so glad you are here. Remember, your Falcon Link Crew Leaders are here to help you all year long.

Falcon families- If you have a student who is planning to drive to school this fall please take a moment to fill out the parking registration form. There is NO FEE ASSOCIATED with a parking pass this year but we are requiring any student driver to have a parking pass visible in their car. It’s important that all cars parked in our parking lot during the school day are registered with RHS so that we are able to identify any car that doesn’t belong on our campus. This will also help us in the event that we need to investigate an incident that has occurred in the parking lot. After completing your form, parking passes can be picked up during Business office hours beginning on Tuesday, September 14th

Welcome Falcons!

We would like to Thank EVERYONE who helped make our first football game concessions and spirit store a HUGE success! With the exception of 4 hats and some T-shirts we sold out of our merchandise, and will be opening an online store in the very near future.

The Booster Club would also like to invite you to join with us in supporting our kids and the school in any way that we can and we welcome your involvement and help!

We are holding our next meeting on Tuesday, September 14th, 6:00 at Orchard Park under the small pavilion. We are looking to grow our membership and are in need of parent volunteers to help with concessions for football and volleyball games at this time.
