A Message from the Principal

 

Dear Students and Families,

 

As the 2023-24 school year ends, we want to take a moment to wish all of our amazing Ravensworth families a happy and safe summer vacation!

This year has been filled with learning, laughter, and growth. We are incredibly proud of everything our students accomplished, from mastering new reading skills to conquering challenging math problems to building and growing new friendships.

To our students, enjoy your well-deserved break! Explore your interests, spend time with loved ones, and make some unforgettable summer memories. Don't forget to keep your minds active by reading a good book, trying a new hobby, or simply asking questions about the world around you.

To our families, thank you for your unwavering support throughout the school year. Your partnership is essential to our students' success. We appreciate your dedication to their education and well-being.

We look forward to welcoming everyone back to school on Thursday, August 15th for our annual open house event. Until then, have a wonderful summer filled with sunshine, relaxation, and new adventures!

 

Sincerely,

Ms. Aspuria and Ms. Heiman

 

Don’t Forget to Check Your Student’s Lunch Balance! 

myschoolbucks

It’s a busy time of year, and we know there are many priorities on families’ plates. As we approach the end of the school year, it is important to remember to check your students’ MySchoolBucks account and pay any remaining school meal balance. 

Families that earn less than 185% of poverty level qualify for free and reduced-price meals. However, an application must be completed and submitted each school year to receive that benefit. The application for the 2024-25 school year will be available this summer. 

If families have a current balance and think they may be eligible for free and reduced-price meals, please fill out the FRM application for the 2023-24 school year. Get more information about free and reduced-price lunch.

 

Support Your Child’s Success in SIS ParentVUE

Signing up for a SIS ParentVUE account helps you to support your child’s academic success. Caregivers can view important information in ParentVUE such as attendance, grades, progress reports, and assessment scores. 

Once you have activated a ParentVUE account for an FCPS student, you will keep the same account until the student graduates. Information about students in the same family can be accessed through the same ParentVUE account. A SIS ParentVUE app is available for Apple and Android devices. 

Need help creating a SIS ParentVUE account? This video explains the steps. Find out more. To create a new account, please contact Teresa Dunbar tldunbar1@fcps.edu for an activation letter. 

If you already have an account, be sure your contact information is up-to-date. Parents/guardians can update their phone numbers or email addresses in the Parent/Guardian section. View more information.
