    Here are ways to get involved with the PTSA at Ridgeview:

     
    1. JOIN the PTSA: Your membership dues help support our efforts to advocate for and provide programming for all students. PTSA monthly communications will be coming through Givebacks this year, so stay connected and up to date through membership. Join at RMS PTSA Givebacks
     
    2. VOLUNTEER your TIME: 
    • Our first PTSA event will be the Kick-off Carnival on October 8th from 2-4:30pm and we need a LOT of volunteers to run the event! Consider volunteering or donating at RMS Kick-off Carnival SignUp. There are options to volunteer selling tickets during lunch, run activities during the event, or help set-up & clean-up. We are also looking for high school volunteers who can earn SSL hours.
    • Interested in getting involved with a PTSA committee? Reach out to rmsptsavpvolunteers@gmail.com. Our volunteers plan:
      • The Bob Bucks Store is open twice per month for students to cash in their "bucks" earned from teachers and staff for exceptional behaviour. This highly successful initiative is dependent on volunteers and donations! Donate to the Bob Bucks Store, order items directly to the school via the Amazon wish list, or join the SignUp Genius to volunteer. 
      • The Staff Appreciation committee organizes monthly snacks for the teachers and staff at their meetings. They also organize meals during pre-service week, Back to School Night, Parent Teacher Conferences, and Teacher Appreciation week. Please consider donating to support and encourage our staff through Staff Appreciation Donations or make a snack donation through our SignUp Genius.
