the staff of the Ridgewood blog

Ridgewood NJ, The Village Code of the Village of Ridgewood Section 105-13, requires that all owners of dogs must immediately and properly place their pet’s solid waste, which has been deposited onto public or private property, into a suitable container (plastic bag) and then disposed of in a refuse container. It also provides for a fine of up to $500 for not doing so. Recently, there have been many pet owners who are not picking up after their pets and/or placing the bags with solid waste into their neighbor’s bushes or leaving the bag on the ground. At this very challenging time, please do the right thing by picking up after your dog and disposing of it properly.

Ridgewood School Home School Day 18 ,Due to COVID 19

April 27, 2020

Dear Ridgewood School Community,

While we have not received any official notification from the Governor, I sense that people are slowly coming to the conclusion that schools may not reopen and remote learning may continue for the duration of the school year. Governor Cuomo stated in one of his press conferences that particular challenges or events define many generations. The Spanish Flu, World War II, the Vietnam War, and 9/11 are examples of historical events that had a lasting impact; similarly, this global pandemic will be a landmark moment for this generation.
