Halloween at Ridgebury

On Thursday, October 31, 2024, we are inviting all elementary students to celebrate Halloween at school by dressing up in a costume, creating wacky hair, or wearing orange and black clothing for the day!

All K–5 students should arrive to school in their costumes and will wear them for the entire school day.

Costume Guidelines

  • Students should arrive to school in costumes that they are comfortable wearing all day (this may mean simplifying the costume).
  • Costumes should be comfortable (walking, sitting) for a full day of learning activities. Please, no inflatable costumes. Shoes must be one’s students can easily walk in.
  • The theme for the day is fun and non-scary celebrating i.e. costumes mut be appropriate for school (no gore, no blood).
  • All costume masks, props, and weapons should remain at home.
  • Face makeup should be minimal.
RES School Musical

Ridgebury Elementary School announces the 24–25 school musical, Peter Pan Jr. All interested students in grades 3 through 5, along with their parent/guardian, are invited to join us for an informational meeting on Wednesday, November 6, 2024, at 3:30 p.m. in the RES Cafeteria. The director of the show will be Joyce Ottinger with the musical director Ryan Loucks. We hope you will come learn more!

Playdates and Riding the Bus

We know how fun it is for our students to get together after school and enjoy time together! Due to safety and limited space on the buses, we are asking that students have no more than two guest riders with them at a time. Anytime there is a need for more than two additional students to ride, families will need to make arrangements for parent pick up that day. Thank you for understanding!
