Ridgewood Elementary School

Hello EMSD Families! All EMSD bus routes have finished transporting our students, and we are safely having a great first day of school. Thank you again to everyone for the flexibility and understanding as we had to make last-minute changes this morning. Schools will dismiss with our planned one-hour early dismissal. Glenview will dismiss at 1:30 p.m., and elementary schools at 2:00 p.m. A quick explanation of our decision-making: EMSD buses began their routes as early as 6:15 a.m. to transport students. As severe weather conditions developed, several buses traveling through the hardest-hit areas had to pause their routes for safety reasons. This pause created delays on subsequent bus routes. Additionally, we wanted to ensure no family felt pressured to compromise on safety to get their child to school on time. We understand these disruptions caused inconvenience for many families today. While safety will always be our top priority, we remain committed to minimizing disruptions whenever possible. Thank you for your patience and understanding today, and we look forward to a successful school year ahead in EMSD!

Due to weather, all bus routes have stopped. All EMSD schools will have a one hour late start and all bus routes will be delayed by one hour. If your child is already on the bus or at school at Glenview they are safe and have stopped in a safe location. Please take necessary actions for safety.

We're looking forward to seeing our students and families this week for Backpack Night!
Due to limited parking at Ridgewood and Glenview, a shuttle bus will be available from Christ United Methodist Church.

Summer break was full of adventures, laughter, and making memories! ☀️❤️ From time with family in Bernard, Iowa and Lake DuBay, Wisconsin, to exploring Corpus Christi, San Antonio, Abilene, and Austin, Texas, we packed in plenty of sightseeing, sunshine, and fun. 🧳🌻📸❤️ Can’t wait to start school soon!

Ms. Erickson has had a great summer spending time with family and friends. She is ending her summer break in Cabo!

From concerts and coastlines to Disney magic and family fun, Mrs. Crouch has had a summer to remember! 🎶🌊🏰 Here’s to one more adventure before another fantastic school year begins! 📚✨

🌻 This summer Mr. Harper kept the school garden growing, took an amazing trip to Niagara Falls and Toronto, and somehow managed to lose his passport… only to find it on the side of a Canadian highway! 😅 It definitely made for an unforgettable adventure. He’s excited to be back and ready for a great school year!
