What's Happening at Raven Delta
March 23 - 27, 2020
Events this week
March 25 Raven Wide Parent Advisory Committee Meeting will still be held via video conference. Families can attend by telephone or by computer ask any question or make comments.
ALL regularly scheduled activities are cancelled until further notice.
We are working on some ideas for video workshops. If you have a subject or topic you think might go well over video conferencing, please let us know.
PEAKS
Students scheduled to test April 1st and 2nd will be rescheduled to a later date.
The Alaska Department of Education has submitted a request to the Federal Government for a testing waiver for this year. Until we hear back with guidance about that, we will be continuing to plan for testing to make sure we are ready in the event that it still happens. We will be adjusting our planned testing schedule however so that we do not test March 31-Apr 2 to give a little more time for preparations. Anyone scheduled during that first week can reschedule for later in the testing window.
How to connect with Raven.
We can also be reached by email: Heidi at hrichards@yksd.com; Julie at delta@yksd.com and Katya at ysinenko@yksd.com.

Re-Enrollment Survey
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.
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.
