Here's What's Happening:

Hello Raven Family!

Time is moving quick! How are we a week through December already! Things are about to get VERY busy with holiday events coming up before the break so be sure to check our calendar and bookmark this newsletter page so you stay in the loop!

There are two great events coming up. One is Saturday 12/13 at Heritage Park. Selected elementary and middle school music students are performing at Traditions on the Green at Heritage Park. We are one of 5 local area schools/dance studios who are performing. Our kids are slated for the middle of the program at 3:45 PM. Admission is free (but there is a gift basket raffle and all proceeds are returned to those music programs so come and bid!) and enjoy some holiday cheer in the park. 

Next, our signature fall event is the Elementary Arts Program! It is scheduled for Wednesday December 17, from 6:30-7:30 PM at Chamberlain High School (9401 N. Blvd, Tampa). It is a PACKED house every year and (without question) one of the best holiday programs you've ever paid $5 for! Singing, handbells, a play, this program has it all! There is still space in Kindergarten and 3rd grade performances if you want to register your child to participate. Ms. Sutherland sent an email on 11/12/25 with details that you can reply to in order to get on the program. 

Wristbands for that event are on sale now in myschoolbucks.com! Every person 1 year of age and older requires a wristband because tickets/seats are limited, and it's first-come, first-served. Performers do NOT need a wristband. So go to myschoolbucks.com now and ensure you've got your ticket. As a note, all outstanding aftercare and cafeteria fees must be paid in order to attend.

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.

Picture of the Week!

Mrs. Boyd’s 1st grade science classes had a blast going cross-curricular! Students explored the magic of snow while diving into math—searching for place value in tens and ones. To make it even more exciting, they played a “Minute to Win It” challenge to see who could collect the most tens and ones.
