Where do I find a directory of Ravenwood families?

The directory of Ravenwood families is accessible to PTO members through the PTO website and mobile app. PTO members may click here to access the RHS Family Directory. You must have an RHS PTO membership to view this directory and you may join the PTO at any time during the school year. You may edit your contact information and you may select which pieces of information to show or hide in the directory at any time.

The RHS Family Directory contains private information and should be used for school or social purposes only. Please respect the privacy of our families and do not use this information for any commercial, political, or advocacy purposes.

How do I volunteer at RHS?

When volunteers are needed, the school or the PTO will send an email requesting assistance. To volunteer at Ravenwood High School, you are required to be approved as a Tier 2 or Tier 3 volunteer. You may apply to be a Tier 2 volunteer by completing the School Volunteer Application and Confidentiality Agreement and returning the form with a copy of your driver's license to the Ravenwood front office. If you are volunteering in a capacity where you will be responsible for students without a faculty member present, you will need to be a Tier 3 volunteer. In order to become a Tier 3 volunteer you must complete the School Volunteer Application and Confidentiality Agreement mentioned above, and you must have a criminal background fingerprint check (Volunteer Fingerprint Process). Please visit WCS's Get Involved & Volunteer page for more information.

To ensure a safe environment for all at Ravenwood, all visitors must show an ID prior to entering the building and then sign in at the front office.

How do I find my child's bus route?

You may determine your child's bus stop and pickup/dropoff times by entering your home address here. Please arrive at the stop 5 minutes early. Pick-up and drop-off times are approximate and can vary due to factors outside our bus drivers' control, such as traffic and weather. Stopfinder is a new app allowing students and parents to view the location of the bus during transportation hours. The app relies on GPS data to update, so plan on arriving at the bus stop five minutes prior to the scheduled time. Please visit WCS's Bus Routes & School Zones page for more information.

What is the Teen Driving Checkpoints Program?

WCS high schools implemented a program that requires new drivers of any age and their parent/guardian to participate in a one-hour education program before students are able to receive a school parking permit. The Checkpoints Program is for high school students that wish to park on school grounds. 

Checkpoints was developed by Dr. Bruce Simons-Morton of the National Institute of Child Health & Human Development. The program was adapted for use in Tennessee by the Department of Health, Division of Family Health and Wellness/Injury and Violence Prevention. One of the major goals of the Checkpoints Program is to reduce teen crashes and violations received by teen drivers, as well as to facilitate family involvement in the early months when teens are able to drive on their own.

All high schools in Williamson County Schools implemented training for the Checkpoints Program beginning with the 2017-2018 school year. Checkpoints training includes videos and specific techniques to reduce injury and fatalities due to risky driving. Once students have met all of the state requirements and completed the Checkpoints Program one-hour training, parents and teens will create a Checkpoints teen driving agreement and students will be eligible for a parking permit. This program only has to be completed one time, not each school year. This free program is held at all WCS high schools and is different from typical drivers' training programs.

Please call the RHS school office at 615-472-4800 for upcoming dates for the Checkpoints Program as they are offered throughout the calendar year.

What is Raptor Revolution?

Raptor Revolution is an orientation program for incoming freshmen held at the school over the summer. It is a great opportunity for these students to learn how RHS functions, learn what teams and clubs are offered, meet fellow future Raptors as well as awesome upperclassmen and teachers who help with the program.

WHat are Red Letter Days?

Red Letter Days are how RHS kicks off each year before the first day of school! Grade levels are assigned days/times to come to the campus and pick up materials (textbooks, Chromebook, locker information, parking tags, etc.) and drop off paperwork (t-shirt order forms, parking permit applications, etc.).
