Please see the important announcement from VDOT in regards to the roundabout.
Beginning Thursday, November 5, 2026, motorists should expect daily traffic pattern changes on weekdays for approximately three weeks. Crews will be working on the southern side (Caney Ridge) of the roundabout, which will require flaggers to direct traffic. Please be aware that traffic patterns may change multiple times each weekday.
Motorists are advised to pay close attention to signs and follow the directions of workers in the work zone.
The temporary road on Route 637 N (Rose Ridge) will be closed once the operations begin. The completion date is late 2026.
We ask that everyone uses caution especially during morning and afternoon school traffic.

DOLLY PARTON DAY
Tomorrow, September 25th (9 to 5)-Virginias will be honoring Dolly Parton's legacy on the first Give Like Dolly Day. Inspired by her father's journey, Dolly was a huge supporter of early child literacy, eventually founding the Dolly Parton Imagination Library which provides books monthly to children from birth to age 5.
Give Like Dolly Day is an opportunity to turn that love into action by giving back to children and communities, just as Dolly did throughout her life. We’re inviting people everywhere to support organizations doing meaningful work for children where they live — beginning with their local Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library program (https://www.e3va.org/dolly-partons-imagination-library-of-va/).

Temporary Sideline Access Restrictions
Region 2D recently adopted new requirements regarding access to playing areas by outside and nontraditional media.
While Dickenson County Public Schools develops a division policy to address these requirements, sideline and playing-area access at Ridgeview High School will be limited to student-athletes, coaches, officials, event personnel, and school or division employees. Individuals who are not affiliated with the school will not be permitted on the sidelines during this time.
Photographs and recordings may still be taken from the bleachers or other designated spectator areas with the purchase of an admission ticket. Full live broadcasts of athletic contests, including broadcasts through social media platforms, are not permitted under VHSL policy.
This temporary restriction will remain in place until DCPS finalizes its policy and procedures. We appreciate everyone's cooperation as we work to protect the safety of our students, staff, officials, and spectators.
Thank you.
