FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

This is a reminder that any senior who has not received his or her Meningococcal MCV4P vaccine and submitted an official shot record to the school nurse by Tuesday, September 8, 2026, will not be allowed to return to school until doing so.

Thursday, August 20, is School Picture Day at RHS! These are the photos that will appear in the yearbook, so wake up, show up, and dress up! Dress code rules apply, so please dress appropriately. Any student who does not follow the dress code will not be photographed for the yearbook.

In an effort to prepare our students and staff for an emergency on campus, Ridgeview High School will practice a simulated lockdown in the coming days. Staff will share procedures with students beforehand, and we ask that parents and guardians please remind students that practicing these drills is the best way to help everyone be ready for any situation that may arise. Should you have any questions, feel free to contact our school office at 276-835-1600.

Buses and car riders have been released and should be on their way home. We thank you for your understanding as we wanted to make sure our students were safe as they traveled home.

Due to the recent storm, we are holding all bus and car riders due to down trees and electrical lines. SCHOOL WILL NOT DISMISS AT 3:00 PM.

Once the situation is assessed we will make another announcement as to when buses and car riders may leave.

As a precaution of the possiblity of debris being in the road in the morning from the storm, Dickenson County Public Schools will operate on a 2-Hour Delay for Wednesday, August 12, 2026.

The instructional day will begin at 10:00 AM
