Students in kindergarten through ninth grade returned to school Tuesday, and sophomores, juniors and seniors will have their first day of school on Wednesday. It will be a full day, beginning at 7:25 a.m. and finishing at 2:15 p.m.
Principal Stacey Gross welcomed students back to school with a letter posted to the school's website, letting students and parents know about important information such as an Open House on Sept. 10 and Homecoming Weekend on Oct. 16 and 17. She also noted that the Class of 2016 will be the 100th Ridgefield High School graduating class.
