Share your feedback on the school calendar
District seeks your feedback as it plans calendar for 2020-2021
The Ray-Pec School District Calendar Committee is currently constructing a draft calendar for the 2010-2021 school year. 

The link below takes you to a brief survey asking for input on various calendar topics.

Recently, Missouri Law was changed and does not allow Missouri school districts to begin school more than 14 days before the first Monday in September. This will impact the District's calendar, and your input is important. 

The survey link will be active until Dec. 1. We greatly appreciate your input in this important process. This information will help the committee propose a calendar that supports the needs of students, staff, and parents. Survey link
