Student Medication Pick-Up

The parents of children who have medicine in the clinic should have received an email from Mr. Bourjaily last week. On Thursday, May 21st and Friday, May 22nd we will be returning medications to parents. On that day during your scheduled time, you will drive through the Ravensworth bus loop and park in front of door one where a staff member will bring your child’s medication. The parent will stay in the car and then sign off that they have received the medication. Please make sure you bring your picture ID. Only parents or guardians may pick up medication. Please use the Google form below to sign up for a time slot on May 21st from 1:00 – 3:30 p.m. or May 22nd from 9:30 a.m.-12:30 p.m.   If possible, please use Chrome for best results. https://forms.gle/CT6QLRku9PFeb9B97 Please email Patrick Bourjaily at pjbourjaily@fcps.edu if you have a questions or concerns about this. 

 

Now Open Sign-up for Student Item Pick-Up

Families can now sign-up to pick-up their students’ belongings. Please select one time slot for your family on either May 27th, May 28th, or May 29th. On the day of your appointment you will drive up to Door 1 through the bus loop. Please do not arrive before your scheduled time, as the schedule is very tight. Please remain in your car. A staff member will approach your car to obtain the student’s name(s) and we’ll bring your materials to your car. Library books and other Ravensworth books will also be collected during this time. We will also be collecting instruments from 6th grade students, students leaving Ravensworth, and those not participating next school year.

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 1stPlease do not list teacher names.  Rather, describe the classroom academic learning environment in which your child learns best.
