Here's What's Happening:

Hello Raven Family!

This is a busy week! Testing is starting to gear up with our K-2 students testing their FAST STAR testing this week. The kindergarten students are going to Fat Beet Farm, 4th grade is headed to St. Augustine, and the 4th Grade Battle of the Books team will square off with other CSA Schools in competition on Friday. We're also excited to welcome the Tampa Bay Buccaneers to our 5th PE classes for some flag football fun. If you'd like to wear a TB Bucs branded top on Wednesday, all students may do that to show our Buccaneer spirit! If you're choosing to do that, it must be a Bucs top - no other teams.

PM Carline Reminders

PM Carline ends at varying times every day. The carline ends when the last car is loaded. Students who have not been picked up at the time carline ends will be sent to emergency care until their ride arrives. Any student who is not loaded into their car by 3:40 PM may incur charges. This also holds true for tutoring, athletics, and afterschool clubs. Students are expected to have a ride waiting when those activities end. Teachers/Club sponsors/Coaches will send students without a ride to emergency care. A few things to keep in mind:

Please note the changes in blue for 2025-2026

  • You should plan to have a ride at the school for your child at dismissal time.
  • Emergency care carries a $40 per student/per visit charge.
  • Charges are incurred immediately when students are sent to emergency care.
  • Emergency care can only be utilized six times over the course of the year and cannot be used if there is an outstanding balance.
  • Charges are due immediately and will be posted to your MySchoolBucks.com account. 
  • All charges must be paid first, before elective charges like jeans passes, school dances, field trips etc. 

If your student will be going home in a different way or with different people, please ensure you communicate with the teacher, the front office, and/or after-care, their off-campus after school program etc. by 2pm that day so we ensure we send your student gets to the right place.
