Welcome to the 2025 - 2026 school year! I hope this message finds you rested, recharged and ready for the exciting year ahead. It is with great pride and anticipation that we welcome you on behalf of the Ridley Board of School Directors and our entire school community. Ridley School District will embrace the message: Inspire, Trust, Unite. These three powerful words will guide our work and our relationships throughout the year.
We will inspire one another through a shared commitment to excellence, creativity, and lifelong learning. Every classroom, every hallway, and every interaction offer an opportunity to spark curiosity and encourage growth.
We will trust in the strength of our community — our teachers, students, families, and staff — knowing that by working together and believing in one another, we can overcome challenges and achieve great things.
We will unite around our mission: To create a caring environment that gives all students the opportunity to achieve their fullest personal and academic potential in order to become productive and responsible citizens.
As we begin this new chapter, I want to express my deep appreciation for the incredible dedication of our educators and staff, the partnership of our families, and the energy our students bring to each new day. Together, we will continue to build a school culture that celebrates inclusion, resilience, and a shared purpose.
Thank you for your continued support and trust. Let’s make this a year of inspiration, unity, and meaningful progress — together.
With warm regards,
Charles Maiers
