Student Item Pick-Up

It is not too late for families to sign-up to pick up student belongings. Please select one time slot for you to 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 and bring your materials to your car. Library books and other books will also be collected during this time. We will also be collecting instruments from 6th-grade students, students leaving Ravensworth, and those students not participating next school year.  Please review the available slots below and click on the button to sign up. Thank you!

Please follow the protocols listed below to ensure a safe, contactless pick-up of your child’s materials:

  1. This is a rain or shine event.  You may only pick-up materials belonging to your child/children.  Remain in your car at all times.  All staff and parents must wear a mask.
  2. Prior to arriving, please make a sign (written in marker) with the names of your child/children and homeroom teacher/s.  This sign should be visible to staff (passenger side of car). 
  3. All student materials will be picked-up in the bus loop (near the main entrance).  Adhere to the directions of staff members and/or signs there to assist you.  There will be staff members asking you to pull your car up, as we do not want traffic backing-up onto Nutting Drive.  In order to assist with the traffic flow please enter Nutting Drive via Gosport Lane.
  4. Staff will place student materials in your car.  Sorry – we will not have time to chat or answer questions at this time.  😊
  5. No Walkers at Pick-Up - For the safety of all of our Ravensworth staff and parents, this is a drive-through pick-up only.  Even if you live within walking distance of the school, we ask that you drive through the bus loop.  Don't forget to make a sign with your child's name.
  6. We will have several labeled boxes along the entrance of the bus loop.  If you have Ravensworth materials you need to return such as library books, patrol belts, instruments, or items belonging to teachers, please pull-up to this area so that a staff member can assist you.  Again, we ask that you remain in your car and open your trunk or back door so we can collect these items from you.  To help us expediate this in a safe manner for all.
  • Please have all teacher materials and/or patrol belts sealed in a Ziploc bag, labeled with the teacher’s name, the student’s name, and grade level.
  • If you are returning an instrument, please make sure your child’s name and grade is clearly marked (and secured with tape or another method) for easy identification later.

After student pick-up concludes on Friday, May 29, we will communicate an alternate date/time for those of you unable to attend any of the scheduled times.  Materials not picked up after June 15 will be donated or disposed of. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact Erika Aspuria, Prinicpal at ELAspuria@fcps.edu.

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 schoolyear 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.
