The first day of school is Wednesday, August 31, and we look forward to welcoming students back into classrooms for another great year of growth and learning. You may have heard or read about the ongoing labor negotiations between the Ridgefield School District and the Ridgefield Education Association (REA), which is the union that represents the district’s certificated staff. While a new contract has not yet been agreed upon, the school year will start as scheduled tomorrow. The next bargaining session is currently scheduled for Wednesday, September 7, and we look forward to continuing negotiations with the REA. Please note that the first and last Wednesdays of the school year are not late start days. This means that Wednesday, August 31 (tomorrow) and Wednesday, June 14, 2023 (the last Wednesday of the school year) are not late start Wednesdays. Thank you for your continued support of our schools. District employees are all excited to welcome students back into our buildings and classrooms.
