Goodbye late starts; hello early releases: Ripon changes schedule for 2021-22 school year

The School Board voted to make that change Monday, when it approved the 2021-22 school calendar. Under the revised calendar, orientation would take place Aug. 30 and Aug. 31 instead of Sept. 1 and 2. There also would be two early release dates a month rather than the one-hour late starts each Wednesday. Ripon Superintendent Mary Whitrock noted staff and parents supported making the change in surveys, with parents being 70% for it. While she doesn’t know the reasons for the 30% being opposed to it, hypothesizing that it could be because parents think it’s a great day for their kids to sleep in or what they’re doing is working and/or they have childcare covered, she believes the results were overwhelming.

How are Ripon police, fire and EMS teaming up to spread cheer this holiday season?

Members of the Ripon Police Department work to wrap gifts for families in need for the 24th annual Shop with Emergency Personnel event.  submitted photo Members of the Ripon Police Department, Ripon Area Fire District and Ripon Guardian Ambulance Service have been especially busy the last few weeks. On top of their normal responsibilities of responding to crises on a daily basis, they’ve been busy buying and wrapping presents for area families for the “Shop with Emergency Personnel” event. Local emergency service providers worked with the Ripon Area School District to identify families in need this holiday season. They received wish lists from each family and emergency personnel purchased the items from that list.
