Get Involved and Join the PTA! 

The Ravensworth PTA is extremely active and supportive of Ravensworth Elementary and its programs. We strive to provide contributions support the educational enrichment for the students and school.  The PTA hosts cultural events and offerings to the students beyond those activities that are provided by FCPS.  Just a few examples are

We provide a GROW team to create outdoor classrooms and landscaping and a Take-Home Reading program for students in first and second grade. Through fundraising efforts the PTA has purchased LCD projectors, digital cameras, math and science manipulatives and other educational equipment, and one SmartBoard per grade level.

IT’S NEVER TOO LATE TO JOIN THE PTA!

Join the Ravensworth PTA (which includes Virginia and national membership).  Return the membership envelope attached to the membership invitation you'll receive the first full week of school.  There are committee positions available where you can be instrumental in the future of Ravensworth and your child's education.

  • Be a Room Parent (coordinated by PTA) or class activity volunteer. Coordinate with other volunteers on:
    • Your child's class parties
    • Your child's class field trips
    • Your child's class special event(s)
  • Be a Volunteer -- return the Volunteer Sign-up Form in the Welcome Packet. If you need more information, call one of the PTA Board Members.  Additional opportunities are:
  • Join a PTA committee or project
  • Help with class art and music programs
  • Assist teachers in the classroom or from your home
  • Assist on specific event days throughout the year
  • Assist in the Clinic, Library, etc.

Work on Focused Committees, such as Yearbook, GRACE Art, Ice Cream Social, etc.  These committes work on specific projects and are focused either for short, intense periods of need, or consistent help over a period of time, but the time commitment is low.

Attend General Membership Meetings and monthly Board Meetings to keep informed of what's happening -- see the list of events in the PTA Newsletter.  PTA meetings are held the first Tuesday of every month at 7:00pm in the Ravensworth Library.  The first General Membership Meeting is held during Back-to-School nights.
