Ray-Pec community,
As we move into November, I want to share information with you about a couple of websites, and finish this message by giving a shout-out to our coaches and activity sponsors.
Websites
We have partnered with HTK Architects and JE Dunn Construction to assist us with the implementation of Proposition S. As you know, Proposition S is the bond election approved by voters last April to allow us to meet student needs through programming and additional facilities. To keep you informed about the progress of Proposition S, we have worked with HTK and JE Dunn to create a bond program project website. To see the website and monitor the progress of the projects, I invite you to bookmark this page.
In addition to the Proposition S website, one of the communication items the Board of Education asked us to work on this year is the creation of a new district website. Work is currently underway on the design and functionality of the site, and we will want people to “test drive” the new site, and provide feedback at various points. If you are interested in being a “test-driver”, please reach out to Communications Director Michele Stidham.
MSHSAA Athletic Coaches and Activity Sponsors
In 1972, President Richard Nixon signed a proclamation honoring our nation’s coaches and the work they do with our students. Truly, all of our coaches and sponsors have a special role in our Ray-Pec community. Nixon’s proclamation stated that coaches and sponsors are highly qualified teachers in highly specialized fields. It recognized the importance of their influence on the lives of their students. I wholeheartedly agree.
As we end the fall and gear up for winter and spring sports and activities, I want to thank our coaches and sponsors for their work with our students. The things our students learn from participation in extracurricular activities are an extremely valuable part of their overall education, and our coaches and sponsors help make that possible. Thank you to our sponsors and coaches, to our parents for your support, and to all of our students who have participated or will participate later this year!
Thank you for entrusting your children to the Ray-Pec School District,
Mike Slagle
