Attention Ravenswood Middle School parents and guardians.. This evening students alerted administration of a potential safety concern in our school. An investigation by the school administration and our PROs began promptly. Safety protocols are being followed according to Jackson County Board Policy and WV State Law.
At this time there is no threat to the safety of our staff and/or students regarding this evening’s report. We are very proud of our students for making the report. This is an excellent example of students following our school training of alerting an adult to potential safety concerns.
As of 2:30 p.m., the following areas along Route 21 are experiencing high water:
Update - Route 21 north of Old WV 56 - Is now open
Crooked Run
Trace Fork
Liverpool
Turkey Fork
Our buses will use alternate routes for student drop-off in the Crooked Run and Trace Fork areas. Please note that if your child's bus was unable to operate this morning, it will not operate this afternoon.
If a bus is unable to safely deliver students due to high water, students will be transported back to Gilmore Elementary School, which remains accessible via Independence Road.
We apologize for the inconvenience and appreciate your patience as we prioritize student safety.
Please do not attempt to drive through flooded roadways.
If you have any questions, please contact the Transportation Office at 304-373-1020.
Please know we have reached the middle of the first nine weeks. Therefore, all students should be coming home today with their mid-term reports. Lastly, we encourage you to continue checking Canvas to monitor your child's grades. Thank You!
There will be an informational meeting this Wednesday, September 2nd at 5 pm in the cafeteria.
