Ridgecrest Families!
Can you believe it, we will be
starting school in-person, 5 days week starting this Thursday, September 2 for
grades 1-6 and Support Center. Our kindergarteners will start on Wednesday,
September 8. We cannot wait to see all of you and your students here shortly. I
have put together a handy reference guide for families with important
information about our school. Click on and save this link to view: 21-22 Info
card. We will provide hard copies
for families at our upcoming Family Connection Meetings. Your teacher will be
reaching out to you via email to set up your Family Connection
Meeting this week! Be watching your email!
Just in time for back to school, we
have reopened our Raider Gear Online Store with Winning Seasons! You can
now go online to purchase Raider Spirit Gear by going to https://winningseasons.net/team-sales/ridgecrest/. The online store will be open until Friday, September
17.
I sincerely appreciate all of the
responses to the survey I sent out last week. In response to your questions, I
have updated our Ridgecrest Systems and Protocols document to reflect changes
for the upcoming school year Ridgecrest
Systems and Procedures for In-Person Learning 2021-22. Please take time to read through this document to be
abreast on all the systems we have in place this year for school opening. I
also took time to answer many of your questions from the survey in this
Question and Answer document Q & A
from Ridgecrest Families August 2021.
Many of the questions were similar, so I only addressed unique questions.
On Aug. 30 at 6 p.m., our
superintendent, Dr. John Polm, is holding a virtual Back to School Town
Hall Meeting. You are invited to tune in to
hear what the latest health and safety requirements are for in-person
instruction, in addition to learning how our path to recovery will ensure a
sense of belonging so that all students can excel. Submit any questions you have now or join the chat-based discussion during
the event. Click here to join the
meeting via Teams Live. There are 3 ways to access the live event:
- Mobile Device: Download the free Teams App
beforehand
- Student’s Computer: Log-in required
- Non-District Computer
The Town Hall will be recorded and
posted to the district website after the event concludes.
I look forward to seeing you and
your student(s) on campus this week for our Family Connection
Meetings. Please let me know if you have other questions that I have not
addressed. I am here to help and support in any way possible. I will also be
sending out a recorded presentation that goes over some of our important school
information early this week.
Let's go, Raiders!

Ridgecrest Principal
