Dear Parent/Guardian:

I am deeply humbled and honored to continue the privilege of serving as your Principal. The beginning of a new school year is always a time of excitement and possibilities. It is an opportunity for growth, learning, and forging new connections within our school community. Whether you are a returning student or joining us for the first time, I assure you that “Thee” Ripperdan Community Day School is committed to providing a nurturing and stimulating environment that supports your academic, social, and emotional development.

This year, we have several initiatives and enhancements in place to ensure an exceptional educational experience for all our students:

Academic Excellence: We remain dedicated to maintaining high academic standards and providing a curriculum that promotes critical thinking, creativity, and a love for learning. Our talented and passionate teachers will engage students in innovative teaching methods and help them reach their full potential.

Social and Emotional Well-being: We understand the importance of fostering a supportive and inclusive school climate where students feel safe, valued, and empowered. We will continue prioritizing our students' social and emotional well-being through various programs and initiatives.

Communication: Open lines of communication are essential for a successful school-home relationship. We will maintain regular communication with parents and guardians through our school website and Parent Square to keep you informed about important school news, events, and student progress.

As we embark on this new school year together, I invite you to embrace the spirit of collaboration, respect, and perseverance. Let us work hand in hand to create an environment where every student can achieve success and become a responsible global citizen. We are not just “The Roadrunners”, but “We are Thee” Roadrunners!

Looking forward to watching you all step into your Greatness!

Respectfully,

James F. Jackson III

Principal, “  Thee Ripperdan Roadrunners”
