Financial Assistance
If you believe that you qualify for financial assistance for preschool tuition you must apply for it through the Ohio Benefits portal. The Ohio Benefits portal can be accessed at https://benefits.ohio.gov/ . If you have questions regarding the Ohio Benefits application process please contact Coshocton County Job and Family Services at 740-622-1020.
This is a change implemented by the Ohio Department of Children and Youth. If you have qualified for financial assistance in the past you must complete this new process. Ridgewood Local School District no longer collects financial information or approves information for preschool financial assistance. If you do not complete the process through Ohio Benefits you will not be eligible for preschool financial assistance and your tuition will not be reduced.
Questions should be addressed to Dr. Bryan Raach, Preschool Director at 740-545-6354. You may pick up an application in the Ridgewood Elementary Office, Superintendent Office or visit the Ridgewood website.
