Message from Trustee Jenny Varghese Bloom |
|
Dear Ravenswood City School District Community,
Welcome back to the 2021-2022 school year at Ravenswood! We are so excited to see all of our students and families, both on our campuses and in our classrooms. As a parent of two children in the district, I've had the experience of excitement and joy, as well as tears and a more reluctant transition. We are working through this together, and our school leaders are here for you and your families. I encourage you to reach out to your teachers and principals with any questions or concerns to help with your family's transition back to the classroom.
As a district we are managing these challenges and more because of Covid-19. Our best defense, along with wearing masks and washing hands, is for all of the eligible community to get vaccinated. That is why we will be hosting another vaccine clinic for people 12 years and above at our middle school, CCRMS, on Friday, September 10th from 3:30pm to 6:30pm.
I know with our amazing students, families, teachers, and staff, we will have a wonderful school year. We know our schools are as strong as our community, and I am so thankful to be part of the Ravenswood community as we make this the best year yet!
Warmest regards,
Jenny Varghese Bloom
Board Trustee, RCSD

Ravenswood Alumnus Returns To Give Back |
|
Mr. Adrian Estrabo is a member of our Boys and Girls Club after school program. He is also a Ravenswood Alumnus! Superintendent Sudaria was able to speak with him on the first day of school and she asked him why he chose to return to Ravenswood and work at the Boys and Girls Club after school program. His response was “I had so many great mentors growing up and now it’s my turn.” He is a shining example of what makes our school and community so amazing. To hear his story and more, follow us on Facebook @RavenswoodCSD! |

There will be a Free COVID-19 vaccination event on Friday, September 10th at Cesar Chavez Ravenswood Middle School. It will be held immediately after school from 3:30 pm to 6:30pm so that it is convenient for families to attend. Everyone 12 and older is eligible to be vaccinated!

Please join us for the next Ravenswood board meeting on Thursday, September 9th at 7:15pm! The Board will hear an update on the first day of school, as well as other topics. The full agenda will be posted on Agenda Online by Monday night.

COVID testing is an important way for us to catch positive cases before they can spread in our community.
We are asking families to give us permission to give your child a quick weekly COVID test. It's painless and easy, even for our youngest students (see for yourself). There is no cost to parents, and we’ll get the results the same day. Click here for more information.
Please sign and return a permission slip so we can test your child. We’ll send the permission slip home and also have them at pickup / dropoff. If you already signed a form last spring or summer, we can start testing your child this fall, but we still need you to sign the new permission slip so we can test throughout the year.
Thanks for helping us slow the spread of COVID!
