Ridgeview Review Weekly
December 1st, 2024
Good Evening, Bobcats!
Happy December! I hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving Break and enjoyed some relaxation and time with loved ones. We are moving through Marking Period 2 quickly, and we only have two more weeks until interims are submitted. Please continue to monitor your child's progress through ParentVUE. For any questions you may have navigating ParentVUE, you may contact Mrs. Tober in our counseling office.
Attendance Procedures
Ridgeview MS is committed to providing accurate student attendance. To ensure we are capturing all student attendance, we ask that you please submit any notification of absence, late arrival or early pick up requests to the new Ridgeview MS Attendance drop-box at RidgeviewMSAttendance@gmail.com. Your email should include your child's full name, grade, type of notification (absence/late arrival/early departure), the reason along with your full name and contact information should we have any questions/concerns. Please only send your notification to this drop box and as a friendly reminder, students have three (3) days after returning to school to submit their absence note. Feel free to attach any supporting documents to the email.
