Principal's Post
Dear Ryland Families,
The school year has officially begun and "Operation Excellence" is underway! What a wonderful first week of school at Ryland Heights Elementary! It has been such a joy to see those smiling faces back in the building, and I loved meeting many of our students and parents. During our first week, teachers have been working hard to consistently teach expectations for student behavior, and students are already starting to increase their understanding of our lunchroom routines and expectations. It is definitely difficult getting back into the routine and the schedule that comes with the school year. As we have just finished our our first full week of school, I would encourage you to make sure that your child gets a good night sleep each night to help with this transition back to school. Thanks for a great first week and we are looking forward to a great year!
Your Principal,
Mrs. Cobb

MAP Testing
Throughout the month of September, we will be giving students an assessment called Measures of Academic Progress™ (MAP). We give students MAP tests to determine your child's instructional level and to measure academic growth throughout the school year, and from year to year in the areas of Reading and Math. These assessments will be taken on a computer.
MAP assessments are unique in that they adapt to be appropriate for your child's level of learning. As a result, each student has the same opportunity to succeed and maintain a positive attitude toward testing. With MAP tests, we can administer shorter tests and use less class time while still receiving detailed, accurate information about your child's growth. Your child will spend a total of about three hours completing these tests.
Our Board of Education is dedicated to the growth and success of each child in our district, and MAP is another tool to help us provide a high quality of learning for every student. Partnering to help all kids learn, parents and teachers can have a profound positive effect on the lives of our children.

Updated Code of Conduct and
Attendance Policy
At the August 6 board meeting, the Board of Education approved the Kenton County School District Code of Expected Behavior and Conduct for the 2018-2019 school year.
On the first day of school, every student will received a copy of a letter explaining changes to the attendance policy and directions on how to access the electronic version of the Code of Expected Behavior and Conduct . The copy of the letter explaining changes to the attendance policy may be accessed here
: Â First Day of School Attendance Letter.
After a student has used 10 excused absences, a Medical Excuse Form is required to be completed by a doctor for the absence to become excused. The Medical Excuse Form may be accessed from our Health Services page. A copy will also be sent home on the first day of school and will be available in the school office.
We are excited about the updates and hope you find it useful.
Please review the Code of Conduct with your Student and sign this form and return to your Child's school. Our district disclosures are listed on this form with links to opt out if interested.

Transportation Updates
Bus Riders - Thank you for your patience this first week of school in getting your child home! If there is a question on the status of a particular bus, parents and guardians can access our new app, My Bus Buddie, which will display the
current status and location of that bus.
The School District is providing a mobile app which can be accessed via a smart phone, laptop, or home PC (as long as the device has Internet connectivity and can access the Web). Should the transportation department wish to inform users of a significant delay for a bus or all buses, this app can show the anticipated delay time, i.e. one hour delay due to weather.
Click the link below to find out how to sign up for this app!
Car Riders - New car-riders numbers are assigned
each school year. If you have a number from last year, please discard the old tag and request a new car rider number from the office for this school year. Our tags this year are orange.
