Raven Community,

We are so excited to see some of your next week! The staff is working hard to get everything ready to welcome our students back!

We wanted to re-send our email from last week with valuable information and send out a few new pieces of information as we approach the start of in-person hybrid learning.

  1. Here is a back to school video from the district.
  2. If your student is in grades 6-8 and you completed the survey last week stating that your student will return to hybrid, you should have received an email yesterday 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 did not get an email. When students are not in the building they will be accessing their learning remotely. 6th-8th families-Please reach out to us if you do not know your students cohort.
  3. Here is the Covid 19 student symptom flowchart should you have a question on sending your student to school.
  4. 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.
  5. All students (6th-12th) will be starting the new bell schedule on Monday, February 22.
