The 2020 yearbooks have all been distributed to the students on campus. If you are needing to pick yours up, you will need to come by the high school office between 8-4 Mondays-Fridays. The office will call Mrs. Callahan, and someone will bring your book to the office. Also, we only have 14 books left from 2020. If you would like to purchase one, they will be sold on a first PAY basis. They are $50.
Cedar Ridge Elementary has been awarded the Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Program (FFVP) grant starting October 1, 2020 through September 30, 2021. Every child will receive a snack of a fruit or vegetable in the afternoon, four days a week.

Elementary and High School students will return to on-site instruction September 21, 2020.
Dr. McMasters has worked with Rachel Horn at DESE to review the regional and local data. This need to pivot is largely based on COVID-19 impact to staff. This pivot allows staff to complete the quarantine period. Dr. McMasters has worked to continue to provide onsite instruction for students who need it.
A Facilitated Technology Area for Virtual Instruction will be set up in each school (Elementary and High School) for NON-QUARANTINED students who need to be on campus due to the lack of dependable internet access. Students will login and complete virtual instruction while on campus.
Parents/Guardians who want district-provided transportation for their student(s) must call the elementary or high school office before 3:00 pm Friday, September 11, 2020.
Be prepared to provide the following information for transportation purposes:
Student(s) name
Student(s) address
Day(s) transportation is needed (Monday-Friday)
Routes will be revised for September 14th - 18th based upon the number of students who will be utilizing a bus for transportation during that week. Parents/Guardians may contact Ms. Annette Ward, Transportation Director, (870-201-2577 ext 0243) for their child's estimated time of pick-up and drop-off. Students will arrive on campus at 8:00 am and load buses to go home at 3:00 pm.
Students may be dropped off and picked up by parents/guardians throughout the day so that their child can complete online assignments.
Meals will be provided for those students who are on-site and meals will continue to be delivered to the designated pick-up points for students who continue virtual instruction from home.
