🎉 This week at Ripley Central School, we’re celebrating the heart of our school — our amazing staff! 💙 From teachers and aides to office staff, food service helpers, custodians, and everyone in between, each one plays a vital role in creating a safe, supportive, and inspiring environment for our students. We appreciate you!

4th grade decorated rocks with positive, kind words and placed them around the town and school for their Better World Day Project this week. Way to go!







Looking for a fun way for your children to practice addition math facts? Try the game Shut the Box. Third grade students played the new game today during intervention. The object of the game is to "shut" as many numbers as possible and be the player with the lowest score.


NYSED regulations state that baseball and softball bats are not permitted on school buses. However; we understand that can create a hardship for many of our families. In order to ensure our students are safe on the bus, while allowing the transportation of baseball and softball bats, we ask that if bats must be transported on the bus, they are secured within a bat bag/backpack, placed on the floor at the student's feet and not sticking out into the aisle.
If you have any questions or concerns, please contact the CLCS Bus Garage at 📞 (716) 753-5901.
Thank you for your cooperation!

6th grade completed a hike on Thursday! They collected two bags of trash along the way.
Way to go!


🚨 Important Reminder for Parents & Guardians 🚨
Per NYSED regulations, Baseball and Softball bats are not permitted on school buses.
We kindly ask that you make alternate arrangements for transporting these items to and from school. This is for the safety of all students and staff.
If you have any questions or concerns, please contact the CLCS Bus Garage at 📞 (716) 753-5901.
Thank you for your cooperation!

Leeah Bliss attended the Girls in Manufacturing workshop this past weekend at Jamestown Community College. She was super proud to represent Ripley Central School and had a great time!


More grade levels have been getting outside, completing their first hike of the challenge!




Students in grades K-6 kicked off the “Hit the Trails and Parks Program” this week. Students will take their first hike on the school property learning about the benefits and etiquette of hiking in the outdoors. The first hike will count as the first of five hikes required to earn a medal and certificate for participating in this program. Although most grades will have two completed at school by the end of this school year, some will need to be done as a family to successfully complete this challenge. Students and parents are also eligible for prizes including helmets, bikes, Wegmans gift certificates, and other cool prizes. More details will be coming soon with information about the trails and how to submit your completion! Stay tuned!



Today we celebrated these Eagle Wing winners! Way to represent RCS' character strengths!
