Snow Day Procedures

Snow Day Procedures
Our decision to close school due to weather is based solely on the safety of our students and staff. We utilize data from multiple sources such as weather reports, local and state road conditions as well as contact with area school superintendents when closing school.
We will use a variety of communication avenues when delaying or closing. We will first utilize our call system. School closings and/or delays will be notified if possible the prior evening or by 5:30 a.m. It is important to update any changes to your phone with our Central Office at 545-6354. We will also post closings and delays on our website www.ridgewood.k12.oh.us In addition, closing and delays will be reported to the following radio stations WTNS, WTUZ, WJER and television stations WHIZ, NBC4, 10WBNS and ABC6/Fox.
