What's Happening at Raven Delta
March 30 to April 3, 2020
Events this Week
March 31 End of Third Quarter Progress Reports and work samples due. Submit your grades through your dashboard in Brightways. If you are unable to upload work samples in Brightways, there are many options for turning them in. You can email photos or scans of the samples to Heidi. You can drop them by the office in the box by the door. There are submission sheets to add to the samples so Heidi knows whose samples they are and the subjects. Make sure your students names are on the samples. If there are any you want returned, please note it on the sample and we will get it back to you.
March 31 Last day to request orders through the office. There is a new form you can complete under the "Resources" tab in your dashboard in Brightways. Complete what it is you would like ordered with all the order information and we will get it sent out. If you have a small order, you can email it to Julie.
March 31 Raven Homeschool Art Classes with Rocky. These classes are free to Raven Homeschool students and are taught by videoconference by YKSD Art Teacher Rocky Near. There will be two sessions for each age group during the week. Hopefully you are able to attend one of the times.
This week for all ages is an April fools project using whatever you may have at home for a medium (this can include pictures cut from magazines.) Students will be drawing or painting a piece with two things that would never be in the same place at the same time, like a bird swimming in the ocean or fish driving cars.

Our re-enrollment campaign launched on Monday, March 23rd!
A green button will appear in your "Parent Dashboard" on Brightways. All you have to do is click it!
If we reach our 60% re-enrollment goal by April 10th, $5/student will be deposited into our activities fund! That's going to add up!
ILP meetings for 2020-2021 will not start being held until May.
Don't forget to sign your enrollment application after re-enrolling!
Teen Chats
This is a great opportunity to meet Raven Homeschool Teens across the state and to take a short break from your schoolwork.
All Raven student age 13-18 years old are welcome to join!
You are expected to actively participate.
How to join:
Step 1. Download the BlueJeans app onto your phone, computer, tablet or iPad.
Step 2. Enter 9076226632 as the meeting id at 1:00 pm on Tuesday and/or Thursdays.
It is that easy!
A couple of hints about participating:
1. Make sure you mute your mic unless you are speaking.
2. Don't be a mic or camera hog - encourage everyone to participate - take your turn.
2. Make sure your camera is working and showing your face - we are trying to connect with each other and don't want a bunch of blank screens.
3. Always bring a few sheets of blank paper (copier paper) and a writing utensil.

ATTENTION CLASS OF 2020!
ACT and SAT Requirement Waived for Class of 2020
For the graduating class of 2020, the State of Alaska is waiving the ACT and SAT requirement for Alaska Performance Scholarship (APS) eligibility this year, and GPA will be the determinant of the award level. The requirement is being waived due to the ACT and SAT tests cancellation across the country.
Updated eligibility charts and additional information will be available on the APS website soon, and in the meantime, published eligibility requirements remain the same with the exception of the ACT and SAT requirement. Please visit APS.alaska.gov for more information or contact ACPE customer service at ACPE@alaska.gov or 800-441-2962 (465-2962 in Juneau).
What's New?
Raven is working on setting up online options for turning in reimbursements and other necessary forms. Please keep an eye on the "Resources" tab in your Parent Dashboard in Brightways. Please understand that these forms are new and may have glitches. If you have any issues or difficulty using the forms, let us know so we can get them fixed.
Please make sure you are using the form for the Delta Raven Office so it gets sent to the correct Advisory Teacher. Thank you!
Reimbursements
Reimbursements will be able to be entered online. You will need to know your family number. If you do not remember it, please contact either Julie or Heidi to get it.
If you do not have the capability to scan or take a picture and send your receipts in, you may still drop them by the office. Please let us know if you entered the form online. If you haven't entered it online, there will be blank copies of the reimbursement form in the Depot by the office door.
Please make sure the scanned copies or photos of your receipts are clear and show what was purchased, how it was paid (Proof of Payment) and that it was shipped or delivered (Proof of Receipt). Keep your original receipts in a safe place in case the Business Office has questions or needs a better copy.
End of Third Quarter Progress Reports and Work Samples
Deadline: Last Date to Request Items be ordered by Purchase order March 31st.
There is now an online form for purchase requests under the "Resources" tab in Brightways.
If you have issues entering the information online, you can email your requests to either Heidi or Julie or call the office.
