Happy Friday, Ravens families! We have a busy week coming up with lots of opportunities for our Ravens. Check our News from the Nest for all of the dates including sporting events and club meetings. Wednesday is an interest meeting for Student Leadership's Powder Puff game. Your child will need to have in their signed form to particate in order to attend the meeting. These forms are provided outside of Ms. Bulluck's room.
On Monday, we will kick off our official Elevate period with students. Elevate is a data-based plan for intervention, support, and enrichment for all students. Elevate is grounded in the belief that all students can grow when instruction is responsive to their needs. By utilizing common assessment data, progress monitoring, and collaborative team planning, staff will provide timely interventions and enriching learning opportunities that promote academic achievement and support our commitment to Excellence All Ways. Students will be flexing to new locations to work on priority topics and activities aligned to their needs. Students in ELA Enrichment groups will have reading to complete at home to support their novel project. Please check with your child to identify which groups they are attending. Reach out to their teacher with any questions. All students will need to carry wired earbuds in their bookbags for Elevate. If your child does not already have a pair, please support us by providing these for Monday.
Have a great weekend, Ravens!

Check out the October calendar and see what’s coming up across JCPS!
Graduation rates continued to improve during the 2025-2026 school year, with JCPS reaching an outstanding 92.6%, compared to the state rate of 88.8%.
A graduation rate that exceeds the state average is a significant accomplishment, and it reinforces JCPS’s commitment to ensuring that every student has the opportunity to succeed and graduate prepared for college, careers, and life beyond high school.
This achievement reflects the collective efforts of our entire school community to provide the high-quality education students need to reach graduation and prepare for their next chapter.
Having 91% of our schools earn an A, B, or C is a meaningful accomplishment that demonstrates the strength of academic performance across JCPS and reflects the hard work of students, educators, school leaders and families. This success is further supported by the fact that 73.5% of JCPS schools met or exceeded growth expectations, with four schools ranking among the top 20% of schools statewide for academic growth.
Together, these results demonstrate the continued progress taking place across our schools and reinforce JCPS’s commitment to providing students with the high-quality education they deserve.

This ranking reflects the hard work of our students, educators, school leaders, families and community partners who are committed to improving student achievement and academic growth. While we celebrate this accomplishment, JCPS remains focused on moving Forward and continuing to raise expectations and outcomes for every student.
