Our first day at Ripley Elementary was a success.

Good evening,
I hope everyone had a great first day of school and is ready to make the second day even better. Just a reminder that if your child rides a bus, you can track the location of the bus on the Zonar App.

The App is located on our website under registrations.

Thank you and have a wonderful evening.

Good evening, Ripley Elementary families,

This is a reminder that the first day of school for Ripley Elementary will be tomorrow, August 19. We are excited to welcome our students back and begin a great school year together.

I would personally like to thank our staff members, Jackson County employees, and community members who assisted with last night's cleanup efforts. Your willingness to step up and help demonstrates the strength and generosity of our community.

Once again, we are truly blessed to live in such a wonderful county. Thank you for your support, and we look forward to seeing everyone tomorrow.

It was all hands on deck Monday evening and Tuesday after the rain came through the school.

If you have a Kindergarten or Preschool class visit scheduled for today after noon, it is still happening! 💙 The ELC building was not affected by the flooding like the main building was.

If your visit was scheduled before noon today, it will be rescheduled—UNLESS your child has Mrs. Kelliher, as her visits are still happening at their regular times.

We can’t wait to meet our new students, show them around, and get them ready for a great year! 💙

Good Evening,
Unfortunately, Ripley Elementary will be closed tomorrow, August 18th, 2026, due to water intrusion in the front office area. Mrs. Starcher will update the Ripley Elementary community on plans for Wednesday, August 19th. Staff will operate on a Code D. Custodial staff will need to report at their normal times. Other staff members will report at 12:00 p.m. Thank you
