Dear Ripona Families,
What a great week at Ripona! Our Mustangs continue to show up, work hard, and make us proud. Here are this week’s updates and reminders:
📚 Attendance Matters!
Way to go, Mustangs! Our overall attendance for this week was 96.54%, which is a 0.46% increase from last week. Our overall attendance since the start of the school year is now 96.70%!
We are meeting our goal! 🎉 Let’s keep the momentum going and continue to show up, learn, and grow every day.
Ripon Unified School District is also hosting an Attendance Matters Spirit Week! Check out the flyer (website) for the fun dress-up days. Let’s show our Mustang spirit while celebrating the importance of being at school every day!
🎭 Missoula Children’s Theatre Is Here!
The Missoula Children’s Theatre is here at Ripona! We are excited to see our Mustangs take the stage.
Please see the flyer (website) for more information about the upcoming performance.
➗ Math Challenge
The Math Challenge is still going strong! Our scholars are crushing it! Keep practicing those math skills, Mustangs, and see how far you can go!
📝 Progress Reports
Progress reports will be going home on Friday for scholars who are in danger of not meeting standards.
If you have questions or concerns about your scholar’s progress, please reach out directly to their teacher. We are always happy to partner with you to support your scholar.
⭐ Minga Is Here!
Please ask your scholar to sign in to Minga using their school credentials and check out their Praises and Guidances.
Parents should be receiving a weekly summary of their scholar’s Minga account. Once the system issue is resolved, parents will also receive notifications if their scholar needs to serve a consequence, such as detention.
🏃 Thank You, PFC!
A huge THANK YOU to our PFC for another fun event! Our scholars had a great time during our annual Jog-A-Thon. We saw our Mustangs running, jogging, and even doing some walking as they worked hard and had fun!
Parents, if you have not donated yet, there is still time! Your support of the PFC directly supports our scholars through field trips, activities, sports, awards, and more. Every donation makes a difference!
📅 PFC Meeting – October 2
Join us for our next PFC Meeting on Thursday, October 2nd at 6:00 PM.
The meeting will be held in Room 9 at Ripona Academy, with a virtual Zoom option available. The Zoom link will be shared separately.
We hope to see you there!
