For the 4th Quarter, Ridgewood students participated in a Lexia & ST Math Spring Challenge. Students worked together to earn the most certificates per week in Lexia and have the most puzzles completed for ST Math. Congratulations to Mr. Lack's 2nd Grade class and Mrs. Floming's Kindergarten class for winning our challenge! They received an extra recess and popsicles!!

Students can boost their literacy skills all summer long with these fun activities. Have them go for five in a row, or try to fill the whole board!

Registration is now open. Please visit the East Moline School District Webpage to register your child today! Click the link below for more information.
