November also brings colder temperatures. Below are important reminders as we go into the winter months:

Inside Day Conditions: If the temperature is below 21°F (wind chill on Weather Underground.com – Herriman Towne Center Station) or if heavy precipitation occurs, students will remain indoors.
Dress Appropriately: Encourage students to dress for the weather to enjoy outdoor recess, even when it's chilly.

Saludos familias de Ridge View,

¡Es difícil creer que ya sea noviembre! Este mes seguro que será muy ajetreado, ya que nos adentramos en la temporada de fiestas. Ten en cuenta las siguientes fechas:

Receso de Acción de Gracias: del 27 al 29 de noviembre
Día de salida temprana: martes 26 de noviembre, con salida a la 1:00 p.m.

Noviembre también trae temperaturas más frías. A continuación, se ofrecen recordatorios importantes a medida que nos acercamos a los meses de invierno:

Condiciones diurnas interiores: si la temperatura es inferior a 21 °F (sensación térmica en Weather Underground.com - Herriman Towne Center Station)
o si ocurren fuertes precipitaciones, los estudiantes permanecerán en el interior.
Vístase apropiadamente: anime a los estudiantes a vestirse apropiadamente para poder disfrutar del recreo al aire libre, incluso cuando hace frío.

February 16, 2024

Dear Ridge View Families,

I would like to take a moment to remind everyone of our procedures for student drop-off and pick-up each day. Recently, we have had several issues with students being dropped off and picked up in the areas surrounding the bus lane and in the north parking lot along Raptor Way. These areas are not designated for drop-off/pick-up areas. For the safety of all of our students, please review the following procedures and attached maps. Drop-off/Pick-up procedures can also be found on our website.

Students are not allowed to cross any bus or car lanes unless accompanied by a parent.
If you want to drop off or pick up in the north or east parking lot you must park your car in a stall and walk your students across a designated crossing.
Students must follow the black arrows to exit the school grounds (see map). These arrows ensure that students are not crossing traffic without a crossing guard.
Cars should never pull into the bus lane and students should not cross the bus lane at any time, with or without an adult.

Thank you in advance for your help and cooperation in ensuring the safety of our students. Should you have any questions regarding these procedures, please don’t hesitate to contact me.

Sincerely,

Meredith Doleac, Principal

Estimadas familias de Ridge View:

Me gustaría tomarme un momento para recordarles a todos nuestros procedimientos para dejar y recoger a los estudiantes cada día. Recientemente, hemos tenido varios problemas con los estudiantes que fueron dejados y recogidos en las áreas que rodean el carril del autobús y en el estacionamiento norte a lo largo de Raptor Way. Estas áreas no están designadas para áreas de dejar/recoger. Para la seguridad de todos nuestros estudiantes, revise los siguientes procedimientos y los mapas adjuntos. Los procedimientos de entrega y recogida también se pueden encontrar en nuestro sitio web.

A los estudiantes no se les permite cruzar ningún carril de autobús o automóvil a menos que estén acompañados por un padre.
Si desea dejar o recoger en el estacionamiento norte o este debe estacione su automóvil en un puesto y acompañe a sus estudiantes a través de un cruce designado.
Los estudiantes deben seguir las flechas negras para salir del recinto escolar (ver mapa ). Estas flechas aseguran que los estudiantes no crucen el tráfico sin un guardia de cruce.
Los automóviles nunca deben ingresar al carril del autobús y los estudiantes no deben cruzar el carril del autobús en ningún momento, con o sin un adulto.

Gracias de antemano por su ayuda y cooperación para garantizar la seguridad de nuestros estudiantes. Si tiene alguna pregunta sobre estos procedimientos, no dude en ponerse en contacto conmigo.

Atentamente,

Meredith Doleac, directora

Greetings Ridge View Families,

It’s been a rainy and mild start to the busy month of February! We forward to the Jordan School District Health and Wellness Day this Friday, February 9th. If you would like information or ideas that focus on student health and wellness, please visit https://wellness.jordandistrict.org/resources/

As we focus on the well-being of our students, I would like to take a moment to remind everyone of our drop-off and pick-up procedures. Please help us ensure the safety of our students by adhering to the following procedures:

Limit your speeds. It is important to remember that children sometimes act unpredictably. Lower speed allows for appropriate reaction time.
Help maintain a continual flow of traffic by pulling all the way forward when dropping off and picking up your child. Students are asked to wait south of the first crosswalk in order for cars to pull as far forward as possible.
Do not leave your vehicle unattended in the drop-off/pick-up zone. If you need to come into the school for any reason, please park in the parking lot and use the crosswalk.
Students should exit and enter vehicles on the passenger (curb) side of the vehicle.
If using the parking lot for drop-off or pick-up, please be aware that you must PARK your vehicle and walk your student to and from the crosswalk. The parking lot should not be used as a drive-thru pick-up/drop-off.
Handicap spaces are reserved for those with a disabled plate or placard. Please keep these spaces open for individuals who qualify.

Please keep in mind the following important dates for the month:

Friday, February 9^th is Health and Wellness Day. There is NO SCHOOL. Please be aware that Thursday, February 8^th is NOT an early out day. We will follow a regular bell schedule with dismissal at 3:35 p.m.

No deje su vehículo desatendido en la zona de dejar/recoger. Si necesita entrar a la escuela por algún motivo, estacione en el estacionamiento y use el cruce de peatones.
Los estudiantes deben salir y entrar a los vehículos por el lado del pasajero (bordillo).
Si utiliza el estacionamiento para dejar o recoger a sus hijos, tenga en cuenta que debe ESTACIONAR su vehículo y acompañar a su estudiante hacia y desde el cruce de peatones. El estacionamiento no debe usarse como un servicio de recogida/devolución desde el vehículo.

October Newsletter

October 2, 2023

Greetings Ridge View Families,

During the month of October we will be focusing on Bully Prevention and Awareness Month, as well as student safety. Our wonderful PTA has planned a week of fun activities for our students, including “Walk to School Day” on Friday, October 13th. This is a great opportunity to educate students about pedestrian safety when walking or riding a bike/scooter to and from school. I encourage your involvement in Walk to School Day by talking with your child about staying safe as a pedestrian.

I’d also like to direct you to important safety information on our school website. This includes our Safe Walking Routes, which consists of a map and a text description showing the safest walking routes to school. In addition, you can find Ridge View’s Drop-Off/Pick-Up Procedures. These procedures are in place to ensure the smooth flow of traffic, but most importantly the safety of our students. Please take a moment to review each of these items and become familiar them. As role models for our children, we can commit to follow safe driving rules.

Other important events to keep in mind include Parent Teacher Conferences and Fall Break. Please refer to the October Newsletter and school calendar for more information about these.

I am grateful for your partnership and appreciate everyone’s efforts to make student safety a priority at Ridge View.

Sincerely,

Meredith Doleac, Principal

Saludos familias de Ridge View,

Durante el mes de octubre nos centraremos en el Mes de Concientización y Prevención del Bully, así como en la seguridad de los estudiantes. Nuestra maravillosa PTA ha planeado una semana de actividades divertidas para nuestros estudiantes, incluido el “Día de Caminar a la Escuela” el viernes 13 de octubre. Esta es una gran oportunidad para educar a los estudiantes sobre la seguridad de los peatones cuando caminan o andan en bicicleta/scooter hacia y desde la escuela. Le recomiendo que participe en el Día de Caminar a la Escuela hablando con su hijo sobre cómo mantenerse seguro como peatón.

También me gustaría dirigirlo a información importante sobre seguridad en el sitio web de nuestra escuela. Esto incluye nuestro Rutas seguras para caminar , que consta de un mapa y una descripción de texto que muestra las rutas más seguras para caminar a la escuela. Además, puedes encontrar Procedimientos para dejar y recoger a Ridge View . Estos procedimientos están implementados para garantizar el flujo fluido del tráfico, pero lo más importante es la seguridad de nuestros estudiantes. Tómese un momento para revisar cada uno de estos elementos y familiarizarse con ellos. Como modelos a seguir para nuestros hijos, podemos comprometernos a seguir reglas de conducción segura.

Otros eventos importantes a tener en cuenta incluyen las conferencias de padres y maestros y las vacaciones de otoño. por favor refiérase a Boletín de octubre y calendario escolar para más información sobre estos.

Agradezco su colaboración y aprecio los esfuerzos de todos para hacer de la seguridad de los estudiantes una prioridad en Ridge View.

Dear Ridge View Families,

I am excited to welcome all of you back to a new school year! As summer break draws to an end and the first day of school quickly approaches, I would like to bring your attention to some important information.

If you have not already done so, please complete your child’s yearly registration on SKYWARD before school starts. This ensures that your child will have access to school technology and that we have accurate and up-to-date information for your child. This is a process that must be completed each year.
When registration is completed, teacher assignments can be viewed in Skyward under "Schedule" beginning August 14^th.

The first day of preschool is Monday August 28^th.

Please be reminded of an IMPORTANT CHANGE that will impact our bell schedule for the upcoming school year. On Fridays or any "early out day", school will start and end 15-minutes earlier than the rest of the week. This means that we will follow a Monday-Thursday schedule and a separate Friday/Early Out Day schedule. I have provided a copy of the 2023-24 Daily Bell Schedule for your reference. Bus times will be adjusted accordingly to accommodate the schedule.
Please be aware that student breakfast and lunch prices have increased this year to $1.05 for breakfast and $2.00 for lunch. You can refer to our website for information on free and reduced-priced meals.

Full-Day Kindergarten

Dear Parents of Incoming Kindergarten Students,

We are excited to let you know that Ridge View Elementary will be offering a full-day kindergarten class for the upcoming 2023-24 school year. The students in this class will follow the same schedule as students in grades 1-6. Please be aware that full-day kindergarten is optional and that there will be half-day classes available as well.

Students will be accepted for full-day kindergarten based on the following criteria:

Student need - based on PEEP (Pre-Entry and Exit Kindergarten) exit assessment
EL (English Learner) identification
Mixed ability levels (based on PEEP exit assessment—determined by lottery)

The PEEP exit assessment will be used to determine enrollment for the full-day class. Students wishing to participate in the full-day class must take the PEEP exit assessment. Please note that the PEEP exit assessment does not replace the KEEP entrance assessment given to all kindergarten students at the beginning of the school year.

Students who attended a Jordan District preschool during the 2022-23 school year will be given the PEEP exit assessment and will not need to schedule an appointment.

If you are interested in participating in full-day kindergarten, please contact our office at 801.567.8930 to schedule a testing appointment. We will notify families of their placement for kindergarten in July.

Sincerely,

Meredith Doleac, Principal

Estimados padres de estudiantes que ingresan al jardín de infantes,

Nos complace informarle que Ridge View Elementary ofrecerá una clase de kindergarten de día completo para el próximo año escolar 2023-24. Los estudiantes en esta clase seguirán el mismo horario que los estudiantes en los grados 1-6. Tenga en cuenta que el jardín de infantes de día completo es opcional y que habrá clases de medio día disponibles también.

Los estudiantes serán aceptados para kindergarten de día completo según los siguientes criterios:

Necesidad del estudiante - basada en la evaluación de salida PEEP (preingreso y salida del jardín de infantes)
Identificación de EL (estudiante de inglés)
Niveles de capacidad mixtos (basados en la evaluación de salida de PEEP, determinados por sorteo)

La evaluación de salida de PEEP se utilizará para determinar la inscripción para la clase de día completo. Los estudiantes que deseen participar en la clase de día completo deben tomar la evaluación de salida de PEEP. Tenga en cuenta que la evaluación de salida de PEEP no reemplaza la evaluación de entrada de KEEP que se les da a todos los estudiantes de jardín de infantes al comienzo del año escolar.

Los estudiantes que asistieron a un preescolar del distrito de Jordan durante el año escolar 2022-23 recibirán la evaluación de salida de PEEP y no necesitarán programar una cita.

Si está interesado en participar en el jardín de infantes de día completo, comuníquese con nuestra oficina al 801.567.8930 para programar una cita de prueba. Notificaremos a las familias sobre su ubicación para el jardín de infantes en julio.

Si tiene un hijo que cumplirá 5 años en o antes 1 de septiembre de 2023, venga a inscribirlo para el jardín de infantes. Se enviará información a casa y se publicará en nuestro sitio web con respecto a este proceso. Además, ayúdenos a correr la voz entre amigos y vecinos con niños en el jardín de infantes que quizás no estén al tanto del período de inscripción. La orientación de kindergarten se llevará a cabo el viernes 3 de febrero.^rd . Seguiremos un formato de jornada de puertas abiertas y lo invitamos a pasar en cualquier momento de 2:00 p. m. a 3:00 p. m.

Tenga en cuenta que no hay clases el lunes 16 de enero.^el por el Día de Martin Luther King y el martes 17 de enero^el para un día de transmisión de calificaciones.

Los detalles sobre otras fechas importantes se incluyen en el Boletín de enero y también figuran en nuestro calendario escolar. Si tiene alguna pregunta, no dude en ponerse en contacto con nuestra oficina. ¡Gracias por su continuo apoyo!

Drop-Off/Pick-Up Reminders

Dear Parents/Guardians,

As colder weather begins to settle in, we have noticed an increase in traffic as more families are dropping off and picking up their children. In order to ensure the safety of our students at Ridge View Elementary, as well as maintain the smooth flow of traffic in our parking lots, we ask for your cooperation with the following procedures.

Please limit your speeds. It is important to remember that children sometimes act unpredictably. Lower speed allows for appropriate reaction time.
When entering the drop-off/pick-up zone from Greenford Lane, please be mindful of traffic coming from both directions. We ask that drivers be patient and considerate by taking turns and allowing one another to merge into the entrance. Please refrain from passing cars in the opposite lane of oncoming traffic. The Herriman Police Department will be assisting to enforce this.
Please help maintain the flow of traffic by pulling all the way forward when dropping off and picking up your child. We ask that students walk the short distance required in order for you to pull completely forward.
Please do not leave your vehicle unattended in the drop-off/pick-up zone. If you need to come into the school for any reason, please park in the parking lot and use the crosswalk.
Students should exit and enter vehicles on the passenger (curb) side of the vehicle. It is not safe for them to load/unload on the left, as they will be in the thru lane of moving vehicles. This is very dangerous and impedes traffic.
The parking lots should not be used as a drive-thru drop-off or pick-up. Should you choose to use the parking lots, please be aware that you must park your vehicle and go to the crosswalk to pick up and/or drop off your child. This cautionary measure is for the safety of your children.
Handicap spaces are reserved for those with a plate or placard. Please keep these spaces open for individuals who qualify.

Thank you in advance for your cooperation and patience. We appreciate your assistance in helping to keep our students safe!

Sincerely,

Meredith Doleac, Principal

Estimados padres/tutores,

A medida que el clima más frío comienza a asentarse, hemos notado un aumento en el tráfico a medida que más familias dejan y recogen a sus hijos. Con el fin de garantizar la seguridad de nuestros estudiantes en la Escuela Primaria Ridge View, así como mantener el flujo fluido del tráfico en nuestros estacionamientos, le pedimos su cooperación con los siguientes procedimientos.

Limite sus velocidades. Es importante recordar que los niños a veces actúan de manera impredecible. Una velocidad más baja permite un tiempo de reacción adecuado.
Al ingresar a la zona para dejar/recoger a los niños desde Greenford Lane, tenga en cuenta el tráfico que viene de ambas direcciones. Pedimos a los conductores que sean pacientes y considerados turnándose y permitiéndose incorporarse a la entrada.Absténgase de rebasar vehículos en el carril opuesto al tráfico que se aproxima. El Departamento de Policía de Herriman ayudará a hacer cumplir esto.
Por favor, ayude a mantener el flujo de tráfico avanzando completamente al dejar y recoger a su hijo. Les pedimos a los estudiantes que caminen la corta distancia requerida para que puedan avanzar completamente.
Por favor, no deje su vehículo desatendido en la zona de dejar/recoger. Si necesita entrar a la escuela por cualquier motivo, estacione en el estacionamiento y use el cruce de peatones.
Los estudiantes deben salir y entrar a los vehículos por el lado del pasajero (bordillo) del vehículo. No es seguro para ellos cargar/descargar a la izquierda, ya que estarán en el carril de paso de los vehículos en movimiento. Esto es muy peligroso e impide el tráfico.
Los estacionamientos no deben usarse para dejar o recoger a los niños desde el automóvil.Si elige usar los estacionamientos, tenga en cuenta que debe estacionar su vehículo e ir al cruce de peatones para recoger y/o dejar a su hijo.Esta medida de precaución es para la seguridad de sus hijos.
Los espacios para discapacitados están reservados para aquellos con placa o cartel. Mantenga estos espacios abiertos para las personas que califiquen.

Gracias de antemano por su cooperación y paciencia. ¡Agradecemos su ayuda para ayudar a mantener seguros a nuestros estudiantes!

Sinceramente,

Meredith Doleac, Directora

Ridge View Elementary Wellness Center

August 16, 2022

Dear Ridge View Families,

Welcome to the 2022-23 school year! Our staff has worked very hard to ensure students get off to a great start and have a positive experience this year. We care deeply for our students and want to provide every opportunity for them to succeed.

Research shows that there is a direct correlation between student wellness and academic achievement. Unfortunately, we are seeing an increase in students who experience stress, anxiety, depression, and other mental health challenges. All of these can adversely impact teaching and learning in our schools. As a means to address some of these issues, we are excited to introduce a Wellness Center at Ridge View. The room provides a safe, quiet atmosphere where students can “reset” and develop healthy coping skills to address their stress and anxiety. Students benefit from opportunities to calm their minds and bodies in a peaceful, comfortable environment.

During the first week of school, students will have an opportunity to attend an orientation in the Wellness Center and become familiar with what it is, the tools and resources available, and how to access it throughout the year. We are confident this will benefit all of our students and provide the additional support needed by so many.

You can find additional information about the Ridge View Wellness Center here, or feel free to contact me with any questions you may have. We also invite you to stop by during Back to School Night. Thank you for your partnership and continued support. I am truly grateful for the wonderful school community we have.

Sincerely,

Meredith Doleac, Principal

Dear Ridge View Families,

If you have not already done so, please complete your child’s yearly registration on SKYWARD before school starts. This ensures that your child will have access to school technology and that we have accurate and up-to-date information for your child. This is a process that must be completed each year.
Teacher assignments can be viewed in Skyward under "Schedule" beginning August 9^th once you have completed the registration.
Join us for a Back-to-School Open House Night on Tuesday, August 16^thfrom 5:30 p.m.-7:00 p.m. Students will have an opportunity to meet their teachers and visit classrooms. We look forward to seeing you there!

The first day of preschool is Wednesday August 24^th.
The first day of kindergarten is Friday, August 26^th.
Please be aware that schools will resume charging for breakfast and lunch due to the expiration of a federal waiver that allowed for all meals to be free. The USDA waiver was put into place as a form of emergency relief during the pandemic and expired in June. Families can still apply for free and reduced-price meals as they did before the pandemic. School meal prices can be found on our website.
Student safety is a top priority. Please refer to the following links for Drop-Off and Pick-Up Procedures and Safe Walking Routes.

Please communicate directly with the teachers if your child needs additional help outside of the scheduled Zoom times. Teachers will be available by email or phone to answer questions and offer support.

Chromebooks were checked out to students today to use for online instruction. If you are in need of a device and did not receive one today, you may pick one up on Wednesday, January 19 from 9am-12pm.

IMPORTANT: Changes to Drop-Off and Pick-Up

These changes will take effect Monday, January 10th during arrival and dismissal times.

Student safety and well-being is our top priority. Thank you in advance for your partnership and cooperation with these new procedures. Should you have any questions, please don't hesitate to contact me.

Important Arrival and Dismissal Reminders

September 15, 2021

Dear Parents/Guardians,

As we continue to make safety a priority, we ask for your support with the following arrival and dismissal procedures:

The student drop-off and pick-up zone is in front of the school. Please pull all the way forward when dropping off and picking up your child. This helps ensure the smooth flow of traffic and allows us to better supervise students.
Please do not leave your car unattended in the drop-off/pick-up zone. If you need to come into the school for any reason, please park and use the crosswalk. As a reminder, the handicap parking stalls are reserved for those vehicles with a sticker.
Students should exit and enter vehicles on the right (curb) side of the vehicle. It is not safe for them to exit/enter on the left, as they will be in the thru lane.
The parking lots should not be used as a drive-thru drop-off or pick-up. Should you choose to use the parking lots, please be aware that you must park your vehicle and go to the crosswalk to pick up and/or drop off your child. Please understand this cautionary measure is for the safety of your children.

Thank you in advance for your cooperation with these important procedures. The safety of our students is a priority. We ask for your patience and understanding as we fine tune these procedures and address any issues that may arise with ongoing construction.

Sincerely,

Meredith Doleac, Principal

Safe Routes Plan (AMENDED)

August 18, 2021

Dear Parents/Guardians,

Out of an abundance of caution and for the safety of our students, changes have been made to the 2021-22 Safe Walking Routes for our school. Due to the fact that Ridge View Elementary and Mountain Ridge High School dismiss at the same time on Fridays, as well as concerns for our students crossing the entry/exit ways in front of the high school, it has become necessary to update portions of the walking routes. After consultation with the Herriman Police and City Engineering Departments, changes have been made to areas 4, 5, 6, 7, and 9 of the Safe Walking Routes so that students no longer walk along Sentinel Ridge in front of the high school. These changes will take effect tomorrow morning, August 19, 2021 and will replace the walking routes previously published. Please refer to the attached text description and maps for specific details about the changes. This information can also be found on our website under the “Parents & Students” tab.

While we understand that some routes may not be the most direct way to and from school, they have been determined to be the safest for our students. We will be discussing this with the students and stressing the importance of using the identified routes. I ask that you also take time to review the routes with your children and become familiar with them. Thank you in advance for your partnership and support.

Sincerely,

Meredith Doleac, Principal

Dear Ridge View Families,

Welcome to the 2020-21 school year! While many of us share feelings of excitement and anticipation, we also understand there might be little bit of worry and uncertainty. Please carefully read and review the Re-Opening Plan I sent earlier today. I am hopeful it will alleviate your concerns and answer any questions you might have in relation to the health and safety precautions we have put in place here at Ridge View Elementary.

Additionally, we are excited to present a “VIRTUAL Back-to-School Night” so that you and your students can get to know their teachers before the first day of school next week. I am confident you will enjoy the fun and insightful information they have provided, and hope this too will help ease any worries or concerns you’ve been having. We realize this year will be very different from others in the past, but we are working hard to find new ways of doing some of the familiar things we’ve always done. We love our students and are committed to do all we can to make it a positive year for them!

As a reminder, the first day of school for 1^st-6^th grade is Tuesday, August 25^th. The first day for kindergarten and preschool is Wednesday, September 2^nd. When students arrive at school, they should go to their grade level doors and line up with their class on an assigned ground marker.

Outside supervision begins at 8:45 a.m. Students should not arrive at school prior to that time.
Playgrounds will be closed before school.
Students should put on a face covering when arriving on school grounds.
Upon arrival, students should social distance as they enter the school grounds and walk to their designated lines.
Students should wear a face covering while waiting in line and before entering the building.

As always, I am very grateful for your support and appreciate the partnership we share in the education of your students. Please know that much of this year’s planning is new to us and that we know there will be things we need to correct or improve once we get up and going. We ask for your patience and understanding. I welcome your feedback and am happy to answer any questions you have.

Here is to a wonderful school year!

Ridge View Elementary Re-Opening Plan

August 20, 2020

Dear Parents/Guardians,

WELCOME BACK! We are so excited to get the new school year started. As we embark upon the challenges related to the COVID-19 pandemic, we have created a RE-OPENING PLAN in an effort to mitigate the spread of the virus and create a culture of safety and respect among our entire school community. The plan meets the requirements established by both the State and the District, and also addresses routines, procedures, and expectations specific to Ridge View Elementary. Please know that the development of this plan is ongoing and is something we have never done before. We will learn as we go and make adjustments based on the needs of our students, staff, and school community.

Please also be aware of the recent clarification by Governor Gary Herbert and the Utah Department of Health in regards to face coverings in schools. The health order states that every individual inside of a school building or on a school bus must wear a face mask. It also clarified that face shields are not a substitute for face masks, except in special circumstances when the ability to see the mouth is essential.

Sincerely,

Meredith Doleac, Principal

I am extremely appreciative of our entire school community for the flexibility, understanding, and positivity that has been shown during the school dismissal. As we begin preparations for the end of the school year, I want to provide you with a few important reminders.

As previously shared in a Jordan School District Communication, there will be no NEW assignments given after May 22^nd. Educational services will continue to be provided through June 5^th and teachers will remain available for questions and conferencing. We are planning many fun and engaging activities for our students to enjoy during the final weeks of school. Please watch for more information to come from your child’s individual teacher.

During the week of June 1-5, we will be collecting Chromebooks and other school issued items such as library books and classroom materials. At this time, we will also return students’ personal belongings from their desks and classrooms. This process will take place by appointment. Instructions for scheduling an appointment will be sent soon.

As always, I want to thank you for your partnership in the education of our students. This has truly been an unprecedented time full of challenges and uncertainties. I am so impressed by the willingness of our students, parents, and teachers to work together. This might not be how we wanted our first year to end, but it’s certainly one to remember!

Again, please watch for additional information to come soon. In the meantime, please don’t hesitate to contact me if you have any questions or concerns I can help with.

Sincerely,

Meredith Doleac, Principal

May Newsletter

Greetings Ridge View Families!

As we begin the month of May, I have found myself missing the many activities that normally fill this busy time at school - - end of year testing, assemblies, programs, field day, and other fun events, to name a few. It’s taken me back to how sad I felt when I learned that the school dismissal would go until the end of the school year. While it was not entirely surprising, it was no less disappointing. The staff and I truly miss seeing you and look forward to when we can be together again in person. In the meantime, we will be coming up with some other types of “virtual” school activities to wrap up the year!

Please see the May/June Newsletter for a few items you should be aware of. Also, watch for additional information and other details to come out soon regarding the final weeks of school. I will provide instructions on how and when you can return Chromebooks and other school property, as well as pick up your student’s personal belongings. As always, if you have any questions or concerns, please don’t hesitate to contact me. Thank you for your continued support.

Sincerely,

Meredith Doleac, Principal

April Newsletter

Greetings Ridge View Families,

It is hard to know where to begin as I send out the April Newsletter. Never in a million years could I have imagined the circumstances we all find ourselves in today. Just last month, I mentioned how excited I was for the upcoming weeks and the many fun school activities and events that accompany them. Instead, we find ourselves with a very unexpected interruption to our school year. One that has left all of us adjusting our daily lives and adapting to a new “normal”.

While we may not see one another at school on a daily basis, and though our usual routines and activities have been disrupted, the teachers and I are committed to providing as much structure and stability as possible for our students. Our love for your children, and our dedication to them and the entire school community, remains strong. While you will not read of upcoming events or important dates in the April Newsletter, I hope you will see it as one more means to stay connected to all of you. We appreciate your support and partnership always, but especially during these challenging and uncertain times.

Please be aware that school will be closed next week for Spring Recess and there will be no access to the building. At-home learning will resume on Monday, April 13^th.

If you have any questions or if there is anything I can ever do for you, please don’t hesitate to contact me. Thank you for your continued support!

Sincerely,

Meredith Doleac, Principal

To assist parents and students with at-home, digital learning, Jordan School District has established a Student and Parent Technical Support Hotline number (801) 567-8999.

The hotline is available from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. Monday through Friday (except April 9 and 10) for anyone in need of technical support for Google Classroom, Canvas, Chromebook, internet, etc.

March 21, 2020

Dear Parents/Guardians,

I want to take a moment to reach out and let you know how much we appreciate the patience and understanding you have shown over the past week. As we learn to navigate our way through these challenging times, I speak for the entire Ridge View faculty and staff when I tell you that we couldn’t do this without your support. We are lucky to have such an amazing school community. Please tell your students how much we love them and miss them. While we are disappointed that our school year has been interrupted, we want them to know that we are still thinking of them!

I would like to make you aware of the following updates for the upcoming week:

Ridge View will no longer be serving school lunch. Parents have been notified of the locations in which students can now pick up lunches. Breakfast and lunch will be FREE for ALL children 18 and under.
In an effort to maintain social distancing, building access will be limited. Ridge View will be open daily from 8am-1pm, however, there may or may not be staff available in the office. Phones will continue to be answered daily and messages will be checked often. Parents and students should come to the school only during scheduled times that have been prearranged with teachers or staff. We will make every effort to be available to you via phone and email, should you have any questions, concerns, etc.
Instructions for accessing Google Classroom and Canvas are posted on our website. For other questions, please contact your teacher or the office.
There have been no updates regarding the length of the school dismissal. You will be notified when these become available.

We recognize that this is a difficult time. For children, breaking routine can cause stress and uncertainty. To help manage anxiety that may arise while students are out of school, I’ve included a few resources you might find helpful.

Confident Parents, Confident Kids – My Kid’s School is Closed, So Now What?

March Newsletter

Greetings Ridge View Families,

It’s hard to believe that March is upon us! I always like this time of year, as it brings more opportunities to be outside with warmer temperatures and longer daylight hours. It also marks the beginning of the last months of school, all of which tend to be busy and filled with many fun activities and events.

Parent-Teacher Conferences will be held next Wednesday and Thursday, March 11^th and 12^th. All conferences will take place in your child’s classroom. While you are here, we also invite you to visit the PTA Book Fair.

As a reminder, this Thursday, March 5^th is an early out day and school will dismiss at 1:55 p.m. Friday, March 6^th is a Grade Transmittal Day and there is NO SCHOOL. Next Thursday, March 12^th is also an early out day and school will dismiss at 1:55 p.m. There will be NO SCHOOL on Friday, March 13^th.

Sincerely,

Meredith Doleac, Principal

Dear Parents/Guardians,

In order to ensure the safety of our students at Ridge View Elementary, as well as maintain the smooth flow of traffic in our parking lots, we ask for your cooperation with the following procedures.

Please limit your speeds. It is important to remember that children sometimes act unpredictably. Lower speed allows for appropriate reaction time.
Please refrain from using your phone during drop-off and pick-up time.
When entering the drop-off/pick-up zone from Greenford Lane, please be mindful of traffic coming from both directions. We ask that drivers be considerate by taking turns and allowing one another to merge into the entrance.
Please help maintain a continual flow of traffic by pulling all the way forward when dropping off and picking up your child. Students will be expected to wait south of the first crosswalk in order for cars to pull as far forward as possible. Should you notice that you pull ahead of your child, he/she will be directed to walk to your vehicle. While we understand this will require patience on the part of everyone, following these procedures will contribute to the smooth flow of traffic, and most importantly, to the safety of our students. As a reminder, please do not cut in front of waiting vehicles by entering the drop-off/pick-up zone from the thru lane.
Please do not leave your vehicle unattended in the drop-off/pick-up zone. If you need to come into the school for any reason, please park in the parking lot and use the crosswalk.
Students should exit and enter vehicles on the passenger (curb) side of the vehicle. It is not safe for them to load/unload on the left, as they will be in the thru lane of moving vehicles. This is very dangerous and impedes traffic.
Should you choose to use the visitor parking lot in front of the school for drop-off or pick-up, please be aware that you must PARK your vehicle and walk your student to and from the crosswalk. Students will not be permitted to cross to the parking lot without an adult. Please understand this cautionary measure is for the safety of your children. There is limited supervision in the visitor parking lot and we do not want to place students in hazardous situations.

Thank you in advance for your cooperation and patience. We appreciate your assistance in helping to keep our students safe!

Sincerely,

Meredith Doleac, Principal

February Newsletter

Greetings Ridge View Families,

It was definitely an exciting start to February as Mother Nature delivered a winter storm prompting an unexpected snow day! Hopefully, you all stayed warm and enjoyed the day off. Events like this serve as a good reminder of how important it is to keep contact information up to date. We make every effort possible to keep families informed with different means of communication, primarily Skylert emails and phone calls. Should any of your contact information ever change, please be sure to update it with our office.

We have recently been working to address several safety concerns in our parking lots and drop-off/pick-up zones.

Please watch for additional information and parking lot safety procedures to be sent home soon. Thank you in advance for taking the time to review these guidelines and for making student safety a priority at Ridge View!
