Principal’s Message to Families

Dear Families,

It has been another vibrant week here at RES! As the weather warms up, it’s wonderful to see our building—and our courtyard—filled with so much energy and focus.

Here is a look at what we’ve been up to:

• Math SOLs: Our students worked incredibly hard on their Math SOLs this week. We are so proud of the persistence and "math muscles" they displayed during testing.
• Final Early Release: This past Wednesday marked our last early release day of the school year. We appreciate your flexibility with these schedules throughout the year as our staff utilized that time for final instructional planning.
• Academic Milestones: In Literacy, students wrapped up Unit 7 of Benchmark. It’s impressive to see how much their reading stamina and analytical skills have grown since fall.
• Courtyard Learning: We’ve been taking full advantage of the beautiful spring weather! Many classes moved their lessons outdoors, and "Lunch Bunches" in our courtyards have been a popular experience and social highlight this week.

It is hard to believe we only have about one month left of the school year! While summer is on the horizon, we are committed to finishing the year strong. We are focusing on three key pillars for these final weeks:

1. Attendance: Every day counts for continued learning and growth both academically and socially.
2. Assessments: Completing end-of-year growth checks with confidence.
3. Celebration: Taking the time to honor our students' hard work, accomplishments, and the friendships they’ve built.

Thank you for your continued partnership and for making this school community so special. Let’s make these last few weeks the best ones yet!

Warmly,

Shannon Mueck

Principal, Ravensworth ES

May - Patrol of the Month

Congratulations to our May Patrol of the Month, 6th grader, Caroline Novak. Caroline has taken on extra responsibilities this year as a bus patrol and recently helped a student transition to a new bus and be his “buddy.”  She has shown dedication as a leader and has been a true role model for safety. Awesome job, Caroline!

SOL Support - Support Your Children During Important Spring Assessments

Students will be participating in spring assessments based on their grade level and courses. This includes summative assessments like Standards of Learning (SOL) tests, which measure what a student knows, and progress assessments like Measures of Academic Progress (MAP) tests, which measure where they are in their learning. 

FCPS encourages all families to support their students in taking these tests. Virginia requires schools to test at least 95% of students on SOLs, so when families choose not to participate in testing, it can impact a school’s accreditation, accountability ratings, and ability to measure student progress accurately.

Parents and caregivers can help their children perform their best on these tests by reminding them to get a good night’s sleep, eat a healthy breakfast, and the cell phone policy still applies during testing season. 

It is important that students attend school on scheduled testing dates. If you are aware of a conflict that may cause your student to miss a test, please notify us as soon as possible. 

Learn more about how to support your child and why test participation matters.
