Due to hazardous weather conditions this afternoon, River Ridge Community Unit School District 210 will be dismissing at 2:00 pm today and cancelling all evening activities. This should allow for everyone to get home safely before the pending bad weather arrives. Thank you and be safe.
Students in the 8th grade STEM class finished up the bee unit today with their test and then they made honey-chocolate as a sweet treat!
As we embark on our much anticipated spring break, I want you to be aware of a change the week we return, April 11-14. Construction will start on the new garage by the green house while we are gone, but will likely still be happening the week we return from break. The lane to the Elementary Entrance will be closed to all traffic. This will impact several things:
- Buses will drop off and pick up elementary students upstairs by the commons
- Parents will need to park upstairs in the district lot and walk their children down to elementary or have them walk independently down to elementary.
- Preschool students will be picked up and dropped off midday in the commons. They will wait between the doors with paraprofessionals .
- Students with specialized transportation (i.e. the Yukon) will enter and exit the building through the commons.
We appreciate you making the necessary changes to accommodate the construction for this short time. If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to call the school.
I hope your Spring Break is relaxing and fun for you and your family. We are in the home stretch of the school year and look forward to returning refreshed and ready to learn!
