Ripley Primary School

PARENTS, We are excited to announce that our annual Cherrydale/Otis Spunkmeyer Cookie Dough fundraiser starts TODAY, August 23. We sent home all the information with your student. This is our biggest fundraiser of the year! Our goal is to raise as much as we possibly can so we can purchase educational supplies and materials needed here at school. You can help us by getting started early with digital selling! Simply go to FundPrizes.com to register and share. Thank you in advance for your support!

LCS is seeking feedback for our ESSER 3.0 funding plan. Please take a moment to complete the survey so that your feedback can guide us to the best resources for our students. https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSfQ6kfyWFCzeiW0iiWNI__DVvjITqYegb4ROG1F_YHL7gbefw/viewform

Multiple community leadership members met on August 12, 2022 to review and discuss school safety operations as well as strengthen the partnerships between Lauderdale County Schools and each law enforcement department. This meeting was the third held by these community leaders in an effort to ensure a consistent vision and purpose existed among all entities. Meeting attendees included school and district administration, County Mayor Maurice Gaines, City of Ripley Mayor Craig Fitzhugh, Ripley and Halls Police Department leadership, and the Lauderdale County Sheriff’s Department, including Sheriff Elect Brian Kelley. All organizations plan to meet quarterly in our local schools to continue discussions surrounding school safety and ensure that effective and streamlined safety practices are in place. Attendees completed a walkthrough of Ripley High School at the conclusion of the meeting.
