Ridgewood NJ, The Ridgewood Public Schools (RPS) district has officially opened the Mandatory Student Information Update for the 2026–2027 school year.
All returning families and new students joining the RPS district must complete this annual update through Skyward Family Access prior to the first day of school. Completing this step ensures your child maintains access to critical school resources, technology, fee management, and extracurricular activities—including middle and high school athletics.
