Ravenswood Grade School – Parent Reminder
Dear Ravenswood Grade School Families,
As we work together to make arrival and dismissal as safe and efficient as possible, we would like to offer a quick reminder regarding transportation changes.
When sending a note with your child requesting a change in their dismissal or transportation plans, please be sure to include the following information:
Your child’s full name
The requested change, such as a bus change, alternate drop-off location, or parent pickup
Who your child will be traveling with or going home with
Your name and contact information so that our office staff can reach you if we have any questions
Providing all of this information helps our staff ensure that every student gets to the correct location safely and avoids delays or confusion at dismissal.
A Quick Reminder About Morning Drop-Off
Our drop-off line is designed for a quick and efficient drop-off so that we can keep traffic moving and get all students into the building safely and promptly.
We completely understand that some mornings your child may need a little extra assistance, encouragement, or a longer goodbye. If you need additional time with your child, we kindly ask that you use one of our available parking spaces rather than remaining in the drop-off line. This allows you to take as much time as needed without holding up the families behind you.
We appreciate your patience, cooperation, and partnership as we work together to make arrival and dismissal safe, smooth, and positive for everyone.
Thank you for helping us make Ravenswood Grade School a safe and welcoming place for all of our students!
