Thank you and have a great evening!
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.

I hope everyone had a great first day of school and is ready to make the second day even better. Just a reminder that if your child rides a bus, you can track the location of the bus on the Zonar App.

Thank you and have a wonderful evening.

These assessments are more than just a test—they are an opportunity for our students to demonstrate growth, achievement, and progress. We will be testing beginning M-W at approximately 8 am.
Now here’s what matters most:
Attendance is Mandatory
Being present each day of testing is essential. Make-up sessions can never fully replace the original testing environment. When students are here, on time, and ready, they set themselves up for success. We need all Ravenswood students in the building, ready to go.
Every Point Counts
Those few extra points can make a big difference. Whether it’s moving from one performance level to the next or showing growth from earlier in the year, each question matters. We’re encouraging students to take their time, double-check their work, and give their very best effort from start to finish.
Focus is Key
Concentration during testing is critical. This means getting a good night’s sleep, staying calm, and staying locked in during each testing session. Distractions can cost valuable points so we’re asking students to stay focused and give it their all.
At Ravenswood Middle School, we live by our motto:
“Where the Best Get Better!”
And this is one more opportunity for our students to level up in academics, effort, and accountability.
