Dear Ridgeview Families
Over the last ten days, the academic success of Ridgeview and our scholars has truly shown. We have been honored as Masters of Mathematics by the Georgia Department of Education, hundreds of our students were recognized for obtaining honor roll status during the first semester, many students were celebrated for fantastic growth on their I-Ready scores, five (5) RCMS alumni were named to the Class of 2025 Riverwood "Top 10 List", and two (2) of our students have qualified for All-State Honor Chorus. I could not be more proud to be the principal of this incredible school and to play a part in helping these students thrive.
Thank you for reaching out with your concerns about how new immigration enforcement policies might affect our school district. We recognize that these discussions can create uncertainty, and we want to reassure our community that our focus remains on providing a safe and supportive learning environment for all students.
At this time, Fulton County Schools has not received any official guidance from state or federal agencies. However, we are staying proactive and preparing for any potential outcomes or actions.
While we do not control federal policies, our district remains engaged, closely monitoring developments and maintaining communication with government officials at all levels. Our priority will always be the well-being and education of our students.
We appreciate your input and encourage you to continue sharing your thoughts with us. Thank you for being an active part of our community.
With warm regards,
Principal Thomas Garrett
