Ray-Pec Community,
In less than a week, we will welcome over 6,400 students back to school in the Raymore-Peculiar School District. I look forward to seeing all our students again, and I know our staff does as well! I want to acknowledge all of the hard work from our crews and teams behind the scenes to help us get ready for this school year.
Forward and Better is the theme of our new strategic plan our Board of Education approved in May and that we begin implementing this year. The plan creates the pathways to move students Forward and will make the educational experience Better for all.
The purpose of this message is to share the excitement about what this year has in store for us. Take a look at this short video that describes a few of the things that will move us Foward and Better.
I am very excited about the start of this school year. As you know, we are entering our fourth school year that has the word “pandemic” associated with it. Throughout the pandemic, we have been committed to consistent and timely communication. For the 22-23 school year, we plan to continue the daily notification of the number of positive Covid-19 cases by building to all parents and staff members who have opted in to receive that information. If you would like to opt-in, please send an email to rp.update@raypec.org and type “COVID-19 update” in the subject line. We plan to notify individual parents/guardians about positive cases within a classroom only when the number of positive cases exceeds five at any one time. We will continue to post daily updates on our Covid-19 experience on our website and have summary information posted at the end of each week school is in session.
Again, we are excited about what this year has in store for us!
Be sure to check our social media pages for pictures of the first days of school and the opening of the Ray-Pec LEAD Center!
On behalf of the Ray-Pec Board of Education, thank you for entrusting your children to the Ray-Pec School District.
Mike
