Drop Off/Pick Up Process from RMS: 🚗
As we enter a new school year, one of the things that I really want to stress is our drop off and pick up process.

Please ensure that if you are dropping off and/or picking up your student that you go into our parking lot area to do this. There will be two lanes of traffic as you drive through. Please remind your student to use the cross walk as they are crossing the bus lane to get in and out of school. If you are wanting to park and wait for your student, you can do so on the side parking lot. Please make sure to park in a stall and not along the road.

Please do not drop off students on Hillsboro Dr as that interrupts the flow of traffic for those that are driving through and can be very unsafe. Also, please do not drop students off in the bus lane area as busses come in and out of that area.

Fall Athletics Begin September 3!

Check out this info from RMS:

Registration and Athletic Clearance

Before participating, students must:

- Have a valid sports physical on file.
- Complete all required Final Forms. Registration directions can be found on our website at: ridgetop.ckschools.org/athletic-registration

Students cannot participate in athletics until they are fully cleared in Final Forms.
Returning Ridgetop students who can access their school email should complete the student portions of Final Forms before the season begins. If your student does not yet have access to their school email, no worries, they will have the opportunity to review the Athletic Code of Conduct and complete their student forms prior during Athletic Study Hall on September 3.

Once registered for a sport in Final Forms, families should receive updates from coaches before the season begins.

Fall Sports
- Softball tryouts begin Thursday, September 3.
- Track and Field practices begin Thursday, September 3.

Interested in Cheer?
Cheer tryouts also take place this fall. Cheer takes place all year. If your student is interested, please register them in Final Forms now for info on cheer interest meeting, clinics, and tryouts.
