Families, We Need Your Consent for Select Digital Resources

At Ravensworth, our teachers will use a variety of digital resources to support student learning and promote communication and collaboration with students and families. Some of the digital resources your child may use this year will require your consent before they can be used. You can find our school’s list of the resources that require parental consent here: https://ravensworthes.fcps.edu/adopteddigitalresources.Additionally, you can find more information about approved digital resources in FCPS here: https://www.fcps.edu/resources/technology/digital-resources.

Included on this page is also a link to a form where the enrolling parent or guardian will need to indicate whether or not their student is allowed to use the list of digital resources this year. This page also provides more information about how FCPS carefully reviews digital resources for approval and why we must request your consent before using certain tools. We encourage you to complete the parental consent for digital resources form as soon as possible, as your child will not be able to use the digital resources until we have received your permission. Please reach out to your child’s teacher if you have questions or concerns about the digital resources we’ve chosen to use this year.

 

SC BUS

Planning to Have Your Child Ride the Bus?

Eligible riders needing transportation may review student route assignment by accessing ParentVue any time after August 9th, or by contacting your transportation or school office. Additions and adjustments will be made weekly. All students eligible for transportation services will be provided transportation, even those whose parents did not complete the FCPS Transportation Survey.  Transportation plans to send an enotify message to remind parents to check their ParentView to confirm transportation details on August 13th and 19th.

During the school year, changes to your intent can be made at any time with Ricardo Bermudez or Sheryl Hall in our front office if the need for transportation changes. 

 

Outdoor Classroom

Logan Pembleton, Boy Scout from Troop 1131, created a double-sided whiteboard, 10 chairs, painted tree stumps for seating, and refurbished a bench to give the students and teachers a nice place to hold classes outside in our new Classroom Tent.  Ravensworth sends a huge THANK YOU to Logan on completion of his Eagle Project!
