In October 2006, the Ridgefield School District eliminated all flyers from all organizations in the school backpacks.They voted on this, but did not ask for our vote or opinion about this.
Some of these organizations are suffering from lack of exposure of the programs they offer. The types of programs they offer are educational and/or beneficial to our children's health and well-being. Many of these organizations also support our school events and fundraisers as well.
If you would like to receive flyers in your child's backpack or email flyers through your PTA membership from organizations like Girl Scouts, Boy Scouts, Woodcock Nature Center, Boys & Girls Club, Keeler Tavern, Ridgefield Basketball Association, and other educational and extra-curricular activities, PLEASE Sign the Petition and forward this to anyone you know in Ridgefield Schools. Lets show our support for these organizations!
I was looking at the old stack of papers from the kids backpacks just now and it really hit me how much information we are missing out on since the district made that sudden change. Some parents have been messaging me about how hard it is to track down programs like the scouting stuff or the nature center events because the communication just feels so disconnected now. I am working on putting together a formal request to show them how many of us actually miss having those physical reminders tucked away in the folders.

BRING BACK THE FLYERS. My kid misses out on so much stuff because we arent on twenty different email lists. It was way easier when it came home in the folder.

Ridiculous that we have to hunt for this info online now. Keep it simple and just put the papers in the bags like before. Miss knowing about the local camps and scouts.
