Teacher and Staff Appreciation Week
This week is Teacher and Staff Appreciation Week at Ravensworth Elementary. Thank you to our teachers and staff for making Ravensworth such a special place. We appreciate your passion and joy for teaching our learners. Our celebration may look different due to social distancing this year, but you are welcome to reach out and thank your child(ren)’s teacher(s) via email.
Ravensworth's News Show is back!
Look for the Ravensworth morning news show that will come out each Friday beginning this week. We will be highlighting the Positivity Project for the upcoming week, announcing student birthdays and other special features from our Specialists. An announcement will be posted on the Specialist Blackboard 24/7 site about how to view the Ravensworth morning news.
Specials Google Classroom- PE, Music, and Art
Have you enrolled in the Specials Google Classroom? Every child was sent an invitation to their school Gmail account. If your child has not received an invitation, please reach out to osdowd@fcps.edu for assistance.
Student's Intention for 2020-2021 School Year
(Parents of Rising 7th Graders that will be attending another FCPS school do not need to respond)
If your child will not be returning to Ravensworth next school year, please email our registrar Teresa Dunbar at tlbunbar1@fcps.edu with your intentions. Please include the following information:
Student Name:
Grade Level:
Name and address of New School:
If you previously advised the office that your child will not be returning to Ravensworth and your plans have changed, please let us know.
This information is important for staffing based on enrollment and state regulations require that we determine the educational intentions of students leaving.
Student Placements for 2020-2021
While it is still early to be thinking ahead to next year, we want to give you information about class placements for the 2020-2021 school-year ahead of time. The staff at Ravensworth Elementary works hard to place students in an optimal learning situation each year. If you have some information that would help us make those decisions, please send your comments in writing to Mrs. Aspuria by June 1st. Please do not list teacher names. Rather, describe the classroom academic learning environment in which your child learns best.
Kindergarten and Student Registration for School Year 2020-2021
Schools remain closed to families; however, if you have a student to register for next year, please go to https://ravensworthes.fcps.edu/new-student-registration-kindergarten-orientation-2020-21 Early registration for next year is important as it supports the number of teachers for which we are staffed. Information on required registration documents can be found here: https://www.fcps.edu/registration . Please direct any questions about registration to our School Registrar, Ms. Dunbar, at tldunbar1@fcps.edu.

Soap for Hope, a Fundraising Campaign
My name is Katherine Halick, and I attended Ravensworth Elementary School. I am currently an eighth grader at Lake Braddock Secondary School. Within the past couple of weeks my science teacher Mr. David Kelly invited his classes to participate in "Soap for Hope," a fundraising campaign to help those who have lost their jobs and need financial help because of the Covid 19 pandemic. My classmates and I have been pitching in by making soap and writing encouraging letters to people who have donated 10 dollars or more to Go Fund Me (Soap for Hope).
Our goal is to raise $15,000. If you would like to donate, see a video, or get more information, visit https://www.gofundme.com/f/27skc-soap-for-hope. If you have suggestions of others in our community (individuals, businesses, media, local government, etc.) who might like to know about our service/fundraising campaign, please feel free to forward this information to them. Or, send me their contact information, and we will follow up.
Thank you for your time and stay safe!
All the best,
Katherine Halick
