More than 100 Ray-Pec staff members recently completed CPR/AED training! The training was sponsored by Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Kansas City and was provided free to employees by the Raymore-Peculiar Wellness Team. After completing online training modules, staff gathered on May 5 at the LEAD Center to complete the assessment.

Summer School Registration is open! Join the fun!

Thanks to everyone who supported the recent Major Saver card fundraiser! Almost $31,000 was raised for the Ray-Pec Public School Foundation and the participating elementary and middle schools. Kelly Osborn, President of Major Saver, attended the Administrative Council meeting on April 8 to announce the fundraiser's results.

Don't forget to show your Royals spirit tomorrow! We will be on Spring Break during their Home Opener.

Mark your calendars to join us next week! We will have the following food trucks there that evening: La Chancla, KC Smoked, Kiylee Kakes, and Omars Popcorn.

Kindergarten enrollment opens next week!

We are excited to see all of our students tomorrow for an amazing day of learning! Don't forget to bring your fully charged device and your READBowl log. See you soon! 😊

Ray-Pec plans to have in-person school tomorrow. We don’t usually send a message when schools are going to be OPEN, but after last week, it seems like a good idea! If there is a change to our plans for tomorrow, we will communicate by 5:30 a.m. Please remember to use caution while driving, especially in the southern parts of the district; be patient about possible bus delays, and make sure that students dress warmly. Monday morning temperatures are predicted to be cold!

Due to the severe winter weather conditions, there will be no school on Monday, Jan. 6, 2025. This will be a traditional inclement weather day and no virtual learning classes will be held. This is a significant storm that will take time to clear and make roadways and walkways passable. Our goal is to have students back in our buildings as soon as we can, but we realize that the timing and severity of this storm presents us with challenges. Our Ray-Pec building and grounds crews will continue to work with our cities’ and county public works departments and our bus transportation provider to bring us back to workable conditions as soon as possible. Thank you for your understanding. A decision as to how to make up today’s inclement weather day will be made later in the school year. Activities All elementary school, middle school, and high school after-school activities and evening events will be canceled and/or rescheduled. Child Care BOOST (Best Out of School Time) is the program that provides before- and after-school care. BOOST will be closed on Monday, Jan. 6.

More than 100 juniors and seniors from Ray-Pec High School serve as A+ tutors throughout our district. Here are pictures of some of them working with other students in our district! #Herewego

Our In-Person Book Fair has come to a close. What a fantastic time we've had! From creating wish lists with our buddy rooms to seeing the excitement on everyone's faces, this year's book fair was a wonderful success.

We can't wait to see our families at Family Fun Night!

👻 Spooky Fun in the Library! 👻 This month, our library added a fun twist to our picture books! Some of our books came with a glow-in-the-dark ghost that students could adopt and take home. Each student got to name their new ghost friend and read to it for 20 minutes every night. 📚✨ Check out our dedicated readers enjoying their ghostly companions! 📖 Grade 4 Reading Challenge 📖 We’ve kicked off an exciting Reading Challenge in Grade 4, encouraging students to explore award-winning books! The challenge involves reading two fiction books from the 24-25 Mark Twain Award list and two nonfiction books from the 24-25 Dogwood Award list. With every completed book, students earn a special brag tag! 🏅 Shoutout to our first four students who have already completed their first book for the challenge—way to go! 🎉 Keep up the amazing work, readers!
