Be nice ~ Be safe ~ Work hard with integrity!
Dr. Casey's Corner
Dear Ravenwood Families,
We are busy getting the school ready for your return and cannot wait to see you on Thursday night, August 18th for our Back-To-School Night! You may drop by anytime between 4:30-6:00pm. Be on the lookout for a Back-To-School letter in your mailbox by the end of the week of August 8th. In it, you will find which teacher your child is assigned to, and two name tags with their name, their teacher's name and their room number. Please have your student wear one name tag to Back-To-School Night and one on the first day of school. This will help everyone get to their correct classrooms.
