Feb 22 & Apr. 22
The Ripon Area School District WILL HAVE SCHOOL on Friday, February 22, and Monday, April 22, 2019. We understand that families may have made plans already for those days. If your student will not be attending school on those days please notify your child’s school so we know they are safe with you. It is important to know that if your child is not able to attend on either of these days they will be marked as EXCUSED WEATHER-RELATED ABSENCES so the days will not count towards their total days absent for truancy purposes. We know that this change greatly affects families and staff, so your partnership in making this decision is truly appreciated and of great value to us. We also want to convey our appreciation for everyone’s understanding and flexibility to find the best solution to address the need to make up snow days.

Ideal Graduate
The Ripon Area School District is seeking your input to help us define our ideal graduate on Wednesday, February 13 from 5:00-6:30 in the RHS Community Room. As part of our strategic planning review process that began last spring, the district has worked to refine our mission and vision, establish our core values, and review our guiding principles to ensure alignment with our mission and vision. As a final step, we will determine what traits constitute lifelong learning to help us develop our portrait of the ideal graduate. We hope you are able to join us for this important discussion.
