OAK LAWN, IL — There are just a few short weeks of summer left, until students head back to school this month. Back-to-school planning has already begun in Ridgeland Dist. 122 with calendars available to help parents prepare their children for a smooth transition into the 2024-2025 school year.

The first day of school for Dist. 122 students will be Aug. 16, with a half-day from 8:50 a.m. to 12:15 p.m. for grades 1-5; and 8:15 to 11:30 a.m. for middle school students, grades 6-8.
