Hello, Heart Heroes! Are you ready?! Kids Heart Challenge is coming to our school soon! We have exciting things planned this year to get us moving, helping others and having fun. Get a head start by signing up today and helping your student choose a daily health challenge. Visit our school page at http://www2.heart.org/goto/RiverRidge or download the AHA Schools app!
The 2024-25 school year calendar has just been released.
The first day of school for students for the 2024-25 school year will be August 12, with the last day on May 23, 2025.
The winter holidays will begin on December 21 and last through January 3 for students. Spring Break is scheduled for April 7-11.
As the district has done the last several years, there will be two "Early Release Days" for students during the year, one scheduled for October 2, 2024, and the other on February 26, 2025. Early release days follow the district's "half day schedule" for students, and allow time for professional development time for teachers and staff.
