Halloween Parties

Halloween parties will take place on Thursday, October 31st. Students may dress up in a costume for their party. Please remember that all costumes must be school appropriate. No blood, gore, or weapons allowed. Students should not wear their costumes to school. They will be given time to change into their costume before their party. Classroom party times are varied based on the teacher. Information regarding individual classroom parties will be shared by classroom teachers. Please reach out to your child's teacher if you have any questions. If your child is bringing a snack for the party, please follow the district wellness/snack policy located on the EMSD website.

Conferences

Conferences will be held on Thursday, November 7th from 3:30-7:30 and Friday, November 8th from 7:45-11:30. There is no school for students on November 8th due to parent teacher conferences. Your child’s teacher will be reaching out to you to set up a conference time. If you need a translator for conferences, please let your child’s teacher know.

We have the most amazing staff at Ridgewood! We would appreciate any help in providing a meal for them on Thursday, November 7th during Conferences. Please sign up if you are interested in helping. You can drop off your items in the front office of the school. Thank you!

3rd Graders at Ridgewood participated in an Hour of Code Week. Volunteers from John Deere came to help students learn how to code through a Dance Party Module. The students had a lot of fun!
