Thank You for Your Support

Dear Students, Families, and Staff,

I want to take a moment to express my deepest gratitude to each of you for the incredible way our school community came together during yesterday’s evacuation and reunification.

To our students—you showed resilience, patience, and calm throughout the entire process. To our staff—you carried out your responsibilities with professionalism, compassion, and care for every child. To our families—your cooperation, understanding, and trust made the reunification smooth and safe. We are grateful for your kind words and encouragement and are equally thankful for your feedback and suggestions that help make us better.

I also want to acknowledge the many district departments who immediately came to our aide. Their guidance, presence, and coordination were invaluable. In addition, several parents generously dropped off bottled water for students and staff, which was a thoughtful act of kindness that reminded us once again of the strength of our community.

While we always hope to avoid emergencies, yesterday was a powerful reminder that when challenges arise, we rise together—with care, with unity, and with unwavering commitment to our students’ well-being.

Thank you for being such a remarkable school family.

With appreciation,

Marisa Ramirez

Principal, Ridgeview MS

Counseling Corner: 

CRHS

Mrs. Shaw, our school counselor, will be visiting 8th grade science classes between October 6–12 to begin important discussions on high school course selections and career readiness.

These visits will take place over three sessions and will mark the beginning of each student’s 4-Year High School Plan. This planning process is designed to help students make informed choices when registering for courses at Cedar Ridge High School in the spring.

During classroom sessions, students will review:

  • Core course options

  • World language selections

  • Career and college planning tools

For more information about the transition to high school and planning for 9th grade, we encourage families to visit the Cedar Ridge High School website.

Let’s work together to help our 8th graders start strong on their high school journey!
