Good evening,
The students and staff of Roane-Jackson Technical Center would like to invite you to our
10th annual Tech-or-Treat event this coming Thursday, October 22nd, from 5:00-7:00 p.m.
Join us for an exciting evening featuring games, make-and-take crafts, apple butter, cookie
walk, spooky house, and much more. Of course, we’ll also have trunk-or-treating with
plenty of candy and prizes! There is no admission cost, and all activities are free of charge.
We hope to see you THIS THURSDAY EVENING for an unforgettable night of family fun!

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!
— Eric Hupp, Principal
Ravenswood Grade School

We have a few housekeeping reminders and would appreciate your help:
Permission Slips: At the beginning of the school year, students were sent home with paperwork that included permission slips. Please return these forms as soon as possible so your child can access the internet and participate in various school activities.
Pick-Up & Drop-Off: Please help us keep the road clear during pick-up and drop-off times. Our buses and staff need to be able to safely enter and exit the parking lots. We appreciate your cooperation in keeping traffic moving and ensuring everyone’s safety.
Morning Arrival: Please remember that the school doors close at 7:55 AM sharp. The school day begins at this time, and students are transitioning to class. Any student who is not in the school by 7:55 AM will be marked tardy.
Thank you for your continued support and cooperation! We appreciate our RGS families and look forward to a fantastic school year together!
I hope everyone had a great first day of school and is ready to make the second day even better. Just a reminder that if your child rides a bus, you can track the location of the bus on the Zonar App.
The App is located on our website under registrations.
Thank you and have a wonderful evening.

Students are reminded that there will be a water slide again this year and that they MUST bring a towel, dry change of clothes and a bag to put their wet clothes in, additionally please make sure students wear darker colored shirts no white shirts allowed on the water slides.

Today, an inadvertent button was accidentally activated at the school, which prompted a response from local law enforcement. Police and school personnel responded quickly and appropriately to ensure the safety and security of all students and staff.
At no time were students or staff in danger, and normal school operations resumed promptly. We appreciate the swift response and partnership of our local law enforcement agencies as well as your continued support and understanding.
Thank you,
