Raider Nation,
As we prepare for hosting the Ripley County Tournament tonight, please keep the following things in mind:
1. Please do not part on the perimeter areas of the parking lots where snow has been plowed. We don't want our patrons getting stuck.
2. We will have door 3 open which is in the front of the building for patrons to enter if they park in the front parking lot.
3. We will have a shuttle bus that will run from South Ripley Elementary School's parking lot to door 3 for any overflow parking (if needed).
4. Our parking lots and sidewalks have been cleared and have been salted but please take your time and be careful walking to our building from your vehicle.
Batesville vs JCD - 6:00
South Ripley vs Milan- 7:30
Thank you for patience and support of our Raiders!
GO BIG GREEN!
-Principal Hutton

As long as school is in session and we do not have a delay, Club Picture Day for both junior high and high school clubs will take place on Wednesday, January 8th.
Parents, please remind your students to bring any required club shirts or uniforms (e.g., band uniforms, majorette uniforms, club shirts, etc.), as they will be responsible for having these items for their photos.
Seniors will also have a class photo taken in the gym that day, so they should bring their senior shirts.
If you have a student who graduated early and they wish to be included in the senior class photo and/or their club photo, they will need to arrive at school by 8:00 AM with their senior shirt, club shirt, or uniform.
Please note: The only sports photos being taken that day are for junior high/high school bowling, archery, and the Junior Rifle Shooting Team.
Thank you for your support in helping make this day a success!
We are looking forward to the start of the second semester on Monday, January 6. However, weather forecasts are predicting the possibility of a significant winter weather event on Sunday, January 5, which could affect our ability to open school safely on Monday.
If a school closure is necessary, we are prepared to conduct a synchronous eLearning Day to ensure that learning continues without interruption.
We realize that some students may have left their Chromebooks, chargers, or other essential class supplies in their lockers over the break. To address this, our school buildings will be open on Friday, January 3, from 8:00 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. for students to retrieve any items they may need for Monday.
We encourage all students to take advantage of this opportunity to gather their necessary belongings to ensure they are ready for the potential of an eLearning Day.
A final decision regarding the status of school on Monday, January 6 will be made once the weather forecast becomes clearer. We will communicate that decision through our normal channels including our robocalling system, website, and social media platforms.
Thank you for your cooperation as we work to ensure a smooth and productive start to the second semester. If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to contact your student’s school office. Thank you, and.....Go Raiders!
