Mr. Sullivan teaches 4th grade at Ravenel Elementary School. He provides information about the classroom schedule, subjects being covered, homework expectations, and upcoming field trips. Students will need a new or renewed SLED check to chaperone field trips. The first PTO meeting will be on September 9th and school registration is now completed online. Parents are encouraged to practice multiplication facts and review the welcome packet materials over the weekend.
