Families,

It has been a busy, short week as we start to close out 1st semester. Students have been busy with assessments, projects, and there has been a lot of buzz around tonight's dance.

Speaking of the dance. A huge thank you goes out to our PTSA and all of our volunteers that are coming to help tonight. We won't be able to pull this dance off without you.

As we close out January, our character trait of the month has been focused on perseverance. My hope is that as we finish out the last 4 days of the semester, our students persevere and finish strong and on a high note!

Have a great weekend!

Each week we will feature staff members at Ridgetop so that families get to know OUR Raider family better.

Our Lost and Found is definitely getting really full. We will be donating any leftover items right after the 1st semester is over so we can start fresh for the 2nd semester. Please have your students come and claim their items soon!

RMS students are supporting the Kitsap Food Bank by creating Birthday Cake Kits to help families celebrate special moments.

Students are invited to donate the following items:

Donations can be placed in grade-level collection boxes in the school office throughout the week.

Thank you for helping us spread joy—one birthday at a time!

I sent out our updated cell phone policy yesterday. Here is a link to the post about it.

We have just a few spots left for our Screenagers showing on Tuesday. Please go to this link to RSVP. If you already did RSVP, but are not able to come, please go in and change our RSVP so that way we can open up slots for others. Thank you!

This year, every month we are going to have a specific character focus that we are working on as a school. Each week, we will be focusing on different aspects of being a professional student.

Please purchase a yearbook for your Raider NOW through Feb. 1st. They are back on sale for a short time for $35. We sold out last year so buy one now! We seek PET photos from ALL grade levels:)

We also seek 8th grade baby photos. The deadline for these will be March 1, but please don't wait...the designers are excited to work on their spreads. and we may run out of space. Please email photos to beckym@ckschools.org.

Thank you parents and guardians!!

Ridgetop is in need of adult mentors. All it takes is 1 hour per week to make a difference in a student's life. The goal of the mentoring program is to develop positive relationships between schools and students, parents, and community.  All mentors receive training on how to support students with goal setting, and peer relationships.

Mentoring takes place on school property. Mentors may play board games, draw, practice flashcards, read, discuss grades and study habits, or just spend time talking. If this sounds like something you can do, please get in contact with our building coordinator Jeff Kahler@ jeffreyk@ckschools.org. Adult mentors make a huge difference in a youth's life.
