RHS Clubs and Activates

Ridgewood High School offers more than fifty clubs

and other activities for students. Becoming involved

in student activities is a great way to take full ad-

vantage of all that RHS has to offer.

Any student interested in forming a club should con-

tact the Assistant Principal for Student Services. You

may also visit our website for updated an club list.

An activities fee is charged once a year for students

in Grades 6 through 12. The fee at the high school is

$150, and is required of each student who partici-

pates in extra-curricular activities that are funded by

the Ridgewood School District.

cluding soccer, lacrosse, volleyball, hockey, baseball, softball, wres-

tling, basketball, and more. Typically, teams hold about two or three

practices per week…” To read more about this and other topics visit:

A Window Into Ridgewood High School Ridgewood Health Services

Health information can be found on the Ridgewood High School

website: http://rhs.school.ridgewood.k12.nj.us. Click on Health

Office under Services.

a) Confidentiality/Medical Information: Do not assume that if

your son/daughter has a medical issue the High School staff will

be informed. Confidential health issues are not disclosed to the

teaching staff. If you have a medical concern that you would like

your child’s teachers or coaches to be aware of, please inform

the Nurse in the Health Office (201-670-2800).

b) Medications: If a student needs to take prescription medica-

tion during the school day, a Medication Authorization Form

filled out and signed by the prescribing physician and signed by

the parent must be submitted.

The only over-the counter medications available to Ridgewood

High School students are Acetaminophen, Ibuprofen and Tums

antacid, which have been approved by the District Medical

Officer. A Consent for Administration form must be signed by the

parent/guardian and submitted to the Health Office to be kept

on file.

c) Illness: Illness incapacitating a student in school must be re-

ported to the School Nurse. To ensure that the proper care is

given, no student is to leave the school grounds because of ill-

ness without authorization from the Nurse. Except for emergen-

cies, do not go to the Nurse between classes, unless at her re-

quest. If you are ill, the teacher of your scheduled class will give

you a pass to see the Nurse. Students who become ill during the

school day must report to the Nurse’s office, where appropriate

health care and direction will be given.
