Ridgefield School District is inviting families, staff, students, and community members to participate in shaping the district’s future by attending one of several upcoming Strategic Planning Launch Sessions.
The sessions are the first step in developing a new district Strategic Plan, and will focus on gathering community input on Ridgefield’s vision, mission, core values, and guiding principles. The feedback received will play a key role in guiding the Strategic Planning process scheduled for Fall 2025.
“We are excited to launch this process and look forward to hearing from our community,” said Dr. Jenny Rodriquez, Superintendent of Ridgefield School District. “Your voice is critical in helping us shape a shared vision for the future of Ridgefield schools.”
The planning sessions are free and open to the public. Each session will follow the same format, so participants are encouraged to attend the one that best fits their schedule. Meetings will last approximately two hours, with both morning and evening options available to increase community access.
Strategic Planning Launch Session Schedule:
- Thursday, May 15 | 6–8 p.m.
Ridgefield High School, Room 311
