Pick-up and drop-off are located at the back of Rib Mt. and staff will be there to assist with students.

  • RGCS and Rib Mountain are two separate schools that share the same building. While each school will offer its own unique instruction and experiences, they will use some of the same common spaces. You may notice some overlap during the day in areas like hallways and restrooms, but classroom learning and instructional time will remain separate for each school.

  • There will be no shared programming outside of Fire Drills, Evacuation Drill and other drills of this kind.

  • As two schools come together under one roof, students and staff may see each other throughout the day. While instructional time will remain separate, both schools will share common spaces like bathrooms, hallways, the playground, and the health office. It’s natural for students to cross paths in these areas or while moving between them, and we look forward to creating a positive and respectful shared environment.

  • At this time there is no collaboration planned in regards to special events, celebrations and/or community-building activities. All events will be coordinated via a school-wide calendar with events occurring on different days.
