Principal's Message
Please see below for two time sensitive announcements regarding supply pick up and our family engagement survey.
In the spirit of this season, I wanted to share my gratitude for this amazing school community. Thank you all for your support of your children, our staff, and our partnerships. While I am always thankful, I am especially grateful this year. We could not be making near the impact on these children if we were not doing it together.
Wear a mask
Wash your hands
Watch your distance
Warmly,
Courtney Nordstrom, Principal

Supply Pick Up Today!
Check your email, or the links below, for grade level specific information regarding supply drop off and pick up. Materials for each grade level are ready for pick up in the vestibule (door A7, near the flagpole on Dean Ave.) We will keep it open until 7:30pm tonight and from 8am-12pm Wednesday. Please call the office with any questions.
Your Input Matters! Family Engagement and Culture Survey
Please complete the survey for each child (if time is an issue, please select your older child or the school to which you would like to give feedback). Please complete this Family Engagement Survey before today at 8:00pm.
The results of this survey will be shared anonymously. I recognize that some questions are specific to our building, and some of you haven't been able to come in fully! Please respond N/A if you cannot directly answer the question.
You can also view this short video that further explains why we are asking you to complete this survey: Link: Parent Culture Survey Introduction Video (2:05 mins)
From the Library
In the season of giving thanks and appreciating what you already have, the library read one book to all of the Ravinia students. It was a mini version of One Book-One School. The book was titled, Lights on Wonder Rock by David Litchfield. This story has stunning illustrations about friendship, family, wonder, and magic that show how sometimes, the things we’re searching for have been right in front of us all along. Ask your child or children to tell you about it and share their ideas they had after listening to the story.
Happy Thanksgiving to the entire Ravinia Community!
Mrs. Lau
