November 5th - Picture Retakes

You'll be receiving a flyer after we come back from Fall Break regarding Picture Retake Day.
You should have received either your Picture Package that you ordered or a Proof of the picture taken on Picture Day.
Who gets called down for retakes:
  • Students who were absent on Picture Day (September 16th)
  • Students whose parents would like a retake — if that's you, please turn in either the "proof" or the picture package to the office
Once we have that, we'll make sure your student is called down for retakes.
If you weren't able to purchase a picture package in September, you can purchase one this time — online orders only.
You can order through this link: bellphoto.com
Prepay Code: ridgeviewfall26

Parking Lot Safety Reminders

Parents, thank you for helping us keep pickup and drop-off safe!
When exiting the main parking lot, please remember to stay single file in one lane and make a left turn only when leaving.
Passing other cars or forming multiple lanes creates a safety risk for our students and families. A few extra seconds of patience helps everyone get home safely!
Thank you for your cooperation — we appreciate you!

Attendance Reminders

Just a reminder that the First Bell rings at 8:55 am and the Tardy Bell rings at 9:00 am.
We'd love your help getting your student to school on time so they can line up when the Warning Bell rings at 8:55 am.
Please note: Students will now be marked Tardy when entering at 9:00 am.
Thank you so much for helping your student start their day off right! 😊

Excusing Your Student

If your student is going to be absent, there are three ways you can excuse the absence:
  1. Call the office at 801-567-8930 and select 1 for the attendance line. When leaving a message, please speak slowly and clearly, providing your student's name and the date of the absence.
  2. Send an email to ridgeviewelem@jordandistrict.org
  3. Send a ParentSquare message to Larkyn South.
If you need any clarification regarding attendance, please review Ridge View's Code of Conduct

Checking OUT your student

When checking out your student, please remember the following:
  • We will call your student down as soon as you arrive in the front office. This is to optimize instructional time and respect our classroom teachers working so hard to support our students!
  • We will need to verify your ID, so please make sure you have identification with you for verification.
  • If you send an emergency contact to pick up your student, please ensure they are listed on your student’s profile. We will NOT release a student to an emergency contact who is not listed.

Paying Library Fines

Did your book wander off on an adventure? Or did life happen and now they're a little... loved to pieces? 💥
Don't panic — there's an easy way to set things right and become a Library Hero again! 🦸
Two ways to pay:
  1. 💻 Pay online — faster than a raptor on the loose:
  2. 💵 Stop by the office with cash or check — we love visitors!
Pay your fine, free your conscience, and let the reading adventures continue! 🦖📖

Medications

Does your student have specific medication needs that we need to be aware of? If so, here are the documents we need to have on hand to help your student:
  • Allergies: If your student needs to have an Epi Pen on site, this form must be filled out. Please note that you will need to provide the Epi Pen.
  • Asthma: If your student needs to have an inhaler on site, this form must be filled out. Please note that you will need to provide the inhaler.
  • School Medication: If you would like to have Benadryl, Claritin, Tylenol, or Ibuprofen on hand for your student, this form must be filled out. Please note that you will need to provide the medication.

School Lunch Payments

We would really like to see our students' lunch accounts stay positive this school year. Here are three ways to do this:
1. Bring Payment to the Office: we accept cash, check or a card.
2. Pay Online Through JSD eFunds
  • Access the JSD eFunds website.
  • Existing families (or those who have transferred within the district): log in with your existing login information.
  • New to Jordan District or Ridge View: click on Create an Account, then click on Manage Students. You will need your student's ID number, which can be found in Skyward under Student Info as OTHER ID. If you have more than one student, please reach out to the office and we can send you your Family ID through ParentSquare.
3. Apply for Free & Reduced Lunch
If you feel you might qualify for Free and Reduced lunch, please make sure to fill out an application. You can complete it online through Skyward, or stop by the office to pick up a paper application.
