📊 6th Grade Math in Action!
Our 6th graders are diving into real-world math with a hands-on statistics project! Each student created a statistical question and is surveying 50 people to gather data. Today, they took a big step by collecting responses from our 2nd grade students. 📝📚
Next up: organizing the data and creating dot plots to visually represent their findings. We can't wait to see the results of their hard work and creativity!

🎉 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!

🚨 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.
