Ridgeview is holding its annual Curriculum Night to introduce parents to the upcoming school year. The school's mission is to develop independent, lifelong learners who respect themselves and others. While basic skills are still taught, there will be more emphasis on competencies like critical thinking, creativity, collaboration, and technology literacy to better prepare students. One school goal is to improve student learning and engagement through inquiry-based instruction. Parents will meet teachers, learn classroom expectations, and be reminded of priority items like healthy lunches and parent-teacher interviews.

4. While a solid knowledge base in the basic skills will be
maintained, to better prepare students for the future there will
be more emphasis on key competencies like self-reliance,
critical thinking, inquiry, creativity, problem solving, innovation,
teamwork and collaboration, cross-cultural understanding,
and technological literacy. We can also connect students
more directly with the world outside of school, with increased
focus on learning these skills across topic areas.
