Dear Rippowam families,
The first three days of school have been fantastic! The energy in the building has been extremely positive—lots of smiles, excitement, and smooth routines. Students are already showing that they’re listening to school rules and expectations, and we’re proud to say that we haven’t had to collect a single phone yet. It’s been a seamless and successful start, and we’re looking forward to keeping that momentum going. I hope you are hearing the same at home.
If you haven’t already, please check out our Rippowam Student/Family Handbook for key information about the school.
No school on Monday, September 1st for Labor Day
