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.
Monday, February 19^th is President’s Day. There is NO SCHOOL.
Parent-Teacher Conferences are Wednesday and Thursday, February 21^st and 22^nd. Thursday is an early-out day. Friday, February 23^rd is a Teacher Compensatory Day. There is NO SCHOOL.

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.
Los espacios para discapacitados están reservados para aquellos con placa o cartel para discapacitados. Mantenga estos espacios abiertos para las personas que califiquen.

Welcome Back and HAPPY NEW YEAR! I hope everyone had a relaxing and enjoyable break. It is wonderful to see all of the students back at school this week.

It’s hard to believe that kindergarten enrollment for the 2024-25 school year begins this month. It is very important that we have an accurate count of the number of kindergartners who will be coming to Ridge View next school year. If you have a child who will be 5 years old on or before September 1, 2024, please come in to register him/her for kindergarten. Information will be sent home and posted on our website regarding this process. Also, please help us spread the word to friends and neighbors with kindergartners who might not be aware of the enrollment period. Kindergarten Orientation will be held, Friday, January 19, 2024.

Saludos familias de Ridge View,

¡Bienvenidos de nuevo y FELIZ AÑO NUEVO! Espero que todos hayan tenido un descanso relajante y agradable. Es maravilloso ver a todos los estudiantes de regreso a la escuela esta semana.

Es difícil creer que la inscripción al jardín de infantes para el año escolar 2024-25 comience este mes. Es muy importante que tengamos un recuento preciso del número de niños de kindergarten que vendrán a Ridge View el próximo año escolar. Si tiene un hijo que cumplirá 5 años en o antes 1 de septiembre de 2024, venga a inscribirlo en el jardín de infantes. La información se enviará a casa y se publicará en nuestro sitio web sobre este proceso. Además, ayúdenos a correr la voz entre amigos y vecinos con niños de jardín de infantes que quizás no estén al tanto del período de inscripción. La orientación de jardín de infantes se llevará a cabo el viernes 19 de enero de 2024. Seguiremos un formato de jornada de puertas abiertas y lo invitaremos a visitarnos en cualquier momento de 2:00 a 3:00 p. m.

Tenga en cuenta que no habrá clases el lunes 15 de enero por el Día de Martin Luther King y el martes 16 de enero por el Día de transmisión de calificaciones.

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.

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

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.

Atentamente,

Welcome Back and HAPPY NEW YEAR! I hope everyone had a relaxing and enjoyable break. It is wonderful to see all of the students back at school this week.

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

Welcome Back to School!

August 5, 2022

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 school for 1^st-6^th grade is Thursday, August 18^th. Students should line up outside of their grade level doors and wait for teachers to bring them inside.
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 refer to the Code of Conduct for important information about school policies, procedures, and expectations. This, along with other helpful resources and information can be found on our website.

Estimadas familias de Ridge View,

Si aún no lo ha hecho, complete la inscripción anual de su hijo en SKYWARD antes de que comiencen las clases. Esto asegura que su hijo tenga acceso a la tecnología escolar y que tengamos información precisa y actualizada para su hijo. Este es un proceso que debe completarse cada año.

El primer día de preescolar es el miércoles 24 de agosto.^el .

Tenga en cuenta que las escuelas volverán a cobrar por el desayuno y el almuerzo debido a la expiración de una exención federal que permitía que todas las comidas fueran gratuitas.

Las familias aún pueden solicitar comidas gratuitas o a precio reducido como lo hacían antes de la pandemia. Los precios de las comidas escolares se pueden encontrar en nuestro sitio web .
La seguridad de los estudiantes es una prioridad. Por favor, consulte los siguientes enlaces para Procedimientos de Dejar y Recoger y Rutas seguras para caminar .

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.

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

Face coverings are required to be worn as usual throughout the day.

We are grateful for the support and assistance of volunteers.

VIRTUAL Back-to-School Night

August 20, 2020

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. Teachers will be outside to greet students and escort them into the building. Please keep the following things in mind for daily drop-off:

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!

Sincerely,

Meredith Doleac, Principal

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

Dear Parents/Guardians,

I hope this finds you and your families healthy and well! Thank you for your continued patience and support over the last several weeks. 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.

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.

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. While some of our procedures might mean waiting a minute or two longer during arrival and dismissal times, we can all agree there is nothing more important than keeping our students safe. 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!
