Ridgefield host transition days for new middle and high schoolers

Ridgefield — To help with the transition to new schools, seventh-graders at View Ridge Middle School and ninth-graders at Ridgefield High School had their respective schools all to themselves for the start of the school year. “Assurance Day” at View Ridge and “Spudder Frosh Camp” at the high school are designed to provide an opportunity for incoming students to get familiar with their new schools, cycle through their classes, meet their peers and get to know their teachers and the staff. The day featured interactive activities at both schools, and gave students a chance to meet future mentors, as leadership students were on hand to help ease them into their middle school and high school experiences.
