Ravenwood embodies community and thrives from the interconnected support system of Eagle River. Outdoor education, the arts, and the use of technology are all integrated into the academic experiences students are offered to optimize engagement, creativity, and independent learning.
Ahoy Ravenwood Families,
Welcome Sunshine!! As the days are getting longer, and warmer, I hope you are enjoying the opportunity to soak up the Vitamin D and fresh air, while still maintaining the social distancing guidelines. We miss you all very much, and look forward to having our school filled once again with our students.
Please read this newsletter for more information about student belonging distribution, returning library books, yearbook sales, Ravenwood Talent Show and online registration for next year.
Stay healthy, hopeful and kind, Ravens!
Joyfully,
Mrs. Bautista

The Show Must Go On!
Get ready to drop anchor and enjoy some awesome student talent at our annual Talent Show. Thank you Mr. Lum for ensuring “the show must go on” at least for 10-11 of our solo act performers who submitted a video for inclusion in our Virtual Talent Show. A special shout out to the Mason family for compiling these to create a special video that will be available beginning Friday afternoon through Mr. Lum’s learning padlet – go to our Ravenwood Webloc page.
