Top 'o the mornin' to you!
As the community looks forward to the Spring approaching and the Summer ahead, the Rockridge area baseball/softball registrations have opened up. We encourage all families with children interested in playing softball or baseball to sign up. Deadline is March 12th. Late registrations will be placed on a waiting list and may not be placed on a team. If they are placed on team, a late registration fee will be assessed. Please visit: www.rockridgeball.com If you have participated last year, then you will have received an email with registration information and directions. If this is your first year with the program, thank you for joining the fun, and you can use the website to register (www.rockridgeball.com). One thing to consider as you sign up your players, we will need coaches for all the teams. This takes the community and volunteers to help make this a fun and successful summer. While registering, there is a place to indicate you’d like to Coach or help coach a team. As a coach, you can chose available practice times and help guide the youth to being great people, as well as good ball players.

Rockridge Schools will be closed tomorrow, February 16, 2023.
Rockridge Families,
I’m writing this afternoon because the weather forecast continues to be unpredictable for the morning of Thursday, February 16th. I feel it would be advantageous for families to plan ahead in case we would need to close our school buildings. I will continue to watch the weather forecast as it develops throughout the day and evening. Additionally, we will be out early tomorrow morning traveling our district roads.
In the event that school may be canceled, I would make this call no later than 6:00 am on Thursday, February 16th. The message would be sent on multiple platforms to families and staff who are in our system. If you have other family members who would like to be notified, please have them download the Rockridge app. They may download the Rockridge CUSD 300 app under the Apple platform in the App Store or on Android in the Play Store.
Sincerely,
Perry D. Miller
Superintendent of Schools
Please join us for our monthly School Board Meeting tonight at 6:30 PM in the JR High Library. We hope to see you there.
