Raven Community,

We are so excited to see more of your next week! The staff is working hard to get everything ready to welcome our students back! It was so amazing to have our new 6th graders in the building this week!

Since we have a staggered return for our students between now and the week of March 15th, we will resend pertinent information weekly so that parents and students can access the information when it is relevant to them

The big update this week is that the district has announced target start dates for 9-12. 9th grade students will begin Hybrid learning on March 8th and 10th-12th grade students will begin Hybrid learning on March 15th. More information can be found on the district website.

Below is additional information for our students with an upcoming return to Hybrid Learning.

  1. Please do not drop students off before 9:20 at school. We want to minimize the time students are in the building before class to ensure safety.
  2. Here is a back to school video from the district.
  3. If your student is in grades 9-12 and you completed the survey earlier this week stating that your student will return to hybrid, you will receive an email next week informing you of which cohort your student is in, A (attend school on Monday and Tuesday) or B (attend school on Thursday and Friday). Students that are staying remote will not get an email. When students are not in the building they will be accessing their learning remotely.
  4. Here is the Covid 19 student symptom flowchart should you have a question on sending your student to school.
  5. Busing information can be found at https://vansd.org/buses/. AM busing-Students will be bused to their home middle school and take a shuttle bus from there to iTech. PM busing-students will be taken directly home.
