Three Board Members Take Oath of Office

Patty Phillips, Deanna Olson, and Janet Jones took the oath of office on April 15 during a brief reorganization meeting of the Ray-Pec School Board. Phillips will serve a two-year term. Olson and Jones will serve three-year terms.

Under provisions of Missouri Statute 115.124, there was no election for school board directors because the number of candidates who filed was the same as the number of positions to be filled.

The Board re-elected Ruth Johnson to serve as Board President, and re-elected Deanna Olson to serve as Vice President.

The Board approved Pam Steele to continue as Board Secretary and Chief Financial Officer Tiffany Banks to continue as Board Treasurer. The Board also approved Carol Barnes to serve as the delegate to the Missouri School Boards Association Assembly. Paul Coffman was selected to serve as the alternate delegate to the MSBA Assembly.

Summer School Details

Summer School Registration Is Open

To register students for 2024 Ray-Pec Summer School, you must first create an account in the district's new student information system called Focus School Software. This change is necessary because Tyler SIS, our current system, is being discontinued.

You will create the account in Focus SIS and link your student(s) to your account. Once completed, you'll be able to register your student(s) for summer school. To complete this process, you will need the student’s ID number and PIN, which were sent to parents via email on April 9 and/or April 15.

This page on the district website has links and videos to help you create your account, link your student(s), and complete the summer school registration.
