Student Item Pick Up- Today is the last day!

Today is the last day you can pick up your child(ren)’s items between 4:00-6:30 p.m. No appointment is necessary. Please drive up through the bus loop and stop at the door leading to the cafeteria. 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.  Thank you!

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

  1. Staff will be at the school rain or shine.  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 door leading to the cafeteria).  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. 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.

Materials not picked up by June 12 will be donated or disposed of. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact Erika Aspuria, Principal at ELAspuria@fcps.edu.

 

Yearbook Are Here

Yearbook Distribution will be Thursday, June 18th from 5:00-7:00 p.m. in the Ravensworth bus loop. Prior to arriving, please make a sign (written in marker) with the names of your child/children. This sign should be visible (passenger side of car).  We ask that adults wear masks as volunteers will be wearing them too. If you are moving away, please let Karin Floyd know and she can mail you your yearbook.  You can reach her at correspondsec@ravensworthpta.org.
