Ravensworth ES Summer Reading
Ravensworth is sponsoring a summer reading program. To fulfill the summer reading requirements, students are encouraged to read at least 5 books. Students may read books from home, books from the public library, or books online including from MyOn, TumbleBooks, Pebble Go, and the Ravensworth Virtual Library.
In addition, Barnes and Noble and the Fairfax County Public Libraries are also sponsoring summer reading programs. Reading that students do for one program can count for all programs.
Students should turn in their Summer Reading Challenge form with a family member’s signature to Mrs. Scharpf, our reading teacher, no later than Friday, August 25, 2023. Two students per class will be randomly chosen for this prize.
The Ravensworth Summer Reading Challenge went home with our students in their Wednesday Folder on June 14th.
Community Review of Elementary English Language Arts Basal Instructional Resources
Fairfax County Public Schools will adopt new Elementary School Language Arts Basal Instructional Resources for the 2024-2025 school year. A review committee composed of community members, administrators, and teachers will meet in July and August to review the instructional materials under consideration and community feedback. Public review of the recommended materials is part of the process for selecting new resources.
Elementary English Language Arts Basal Instructional Resources may be accessed in person and online July 1 to July 31. Digital materials for public review and comment will be available on the Elementary Language Arts Basal Resource Review website. Those reviewing instructional materials may complete an electronic comment sheet that will be available on the website during the review period.
Hard copies of instructional materials will be available for review at:
Pimmit Hills Center, Room 207 7510 Lisle Avenue Falls Church, VA 22043
Materials may be reviewed at Pimmit Hills Center Monday - Thursday from 9:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m. Visitors should enter through door #4 and check in at the main office or with the building coordinator on duty.
An open house with representatives from the Elementary Language Arts team will be held on July 25 from 9:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. at Pimmit Hills Center.
All community feedback will be shared with the review committee and with School Board members before the vote at the School Board regular meeting.
