This is a reminder that dogs, with the exception of service animals, are not permitted on school grounds until the final students leave at 3:45. This does not pertain to animals that that might be in vehicles in the pick up line.

The school Science Fair has been scheduled for November 19 during school hours. With nearly 300 students in grades 3-5, we truly hope we will have many families taking the time to participate in this event. RES has had several truly great projects that have gone on to the county and state fairs. School forms are coming soon, but you can find everything you need to get started at the state website listed below.

This is a reminder that squishies, such as Nee Dohs and Dumplings, are not allowed at school. This falls into the toy category of the discipline policy. Due to multiple ruptures of these items at school and on buses and the glue/gel compound inside sticking aggressively to skin, clothes, furniture, and buses, they are no longer permitted on buses or at school. They must remain at home.
Friday September 25th will be the Ripley High School Homecoming Parade. If your child is participating in the parade and will be signed out, please send a note to school with your child's name, who will be signing them out, and their homeroom teacher. This will help us speed up the process on this busy day. Thank you.
On Thursday, September 17, the 4th grade teachers will host an AR/Math night. It's your opportunity to get some further information about Ready Math and some resources to help you child. You will also have time to read AR and take tests in the library. Parents are strongly encouraged to attend! The festivities will begin at 3:30 and end at 5:30.
Parents and Guardians:
Ripley Elementary will conduct a code red drill on Friday, August 28 from 1:00-1:30 PM. Code Red drills are school safety exercises designed to prepare students and staff for a serious threat or emergency. During a drill, everyone practices procedures such as securing classrooms, remaining quiet, staying out of sight, and following staff directions. These drills help Ripley Elementary identify areas for improvement and ensure everyone knows how to respond quickly and safely in an emergency.
I hope everyone had a great first day of school and is ready to make the second day even better. Just a reminder that if your child rides a bus, you can track the location of the bus on the Zonar App.
The App is located on our website under registrations.
Thank you and have a wonderful evening.
This is a reminder that the first day of school for Ripley Elementary will be tomorrow, August 19. We are excited to welcome our students back and begin a great school year together.
I would personally like to thank our staff members, Jackson County employees, and community members who assisted with last night's cleanup efforts. Your willingness to step up and help demonstrates the strength and generosity of our community.
Once again, we are truly blessed to live in such a wonderful county. Thank you for your support, and we look forward to seeing everyone tomorrow.
WE ARE BACK!!!
Students in Grades 1-5 will come to Ripley Elementary on a regular schedule Wednesday August 19. We are so excited to see everyone!
It was all hands on deck Monday evening and Tuesday after the rain came through the school. So, thankful for the dedication of public school employees and board office administration.
Unfortunately, Ripley Elementary will be closed tomorrow, August 18th, 2026, due to water intrusion in the front office area. Mrs. Starcher will update the Ripley Elementary community on plans for Wednesday, August 19th. Staff will operate on a Code D. Custodial staff will need to report at their normal times. Other staff members will report at 12:00 p.m. Thank you
