In honor of Pet Week, Ms. Goodwinโs class got a visit from a very special furry friendโmeet Sparkles the Hamster! ๐นโจ
The students were so excited to meet her, and you can see by their big smiles just how much they loved the surprise. It was such a fun and memorable moment for the class, and Sparkles definitely made the day a little brighter!

Our incredible Shull students earned a Glow Party yesterday, and the excitement was glowing! Everyone had such a great time celebrating their hard work, positive behavior, and school spirit. The energy in the room was contagious, and with all the dancing, laughing, and glowing accessories, it was nearly impossible to capture it all on camera. What an awesome way to reward our studentsโway to go, Shull Sharks!โจ๐
โ๏ธโ Winter Learning in Our EC Classrooms! โ๏ธโ๏ธ
Our early childhood learners have been busy exploring winter through hands-on learning! Students measured โHow many snowballs tall are you?โ, counted marshmallows in their painted hot cocoa cups, and used their thinking skills to explain why the snowman melted. Through play, creativity, and conversation, our boys and girls are building math, science, and language skillsโwhile having so much fun along the way! ๐

Pumpkins, pals, and plenty of giggles โ Hereโs a look at more moments from our fall pumpkin patch visit.
So many pumpkins, so little time!
And extra huge THANK YOU goes out to our local Hy-Vee for making our Pumpkin Patch possible! We couldn't have done it without them.
๐๐Rain didn't slow us down! Here are a few pictures from our full-day classrooms pumpkin patch visits!
Our students had such a wonderful time exploring the patch, picking out their favorite pumpkins. ๐
We enjoyed seeing how pumpkins come in all different shapes, sizes, and colors. It was a perfect fall day filled with laughter, learning, and lots of autumn memories! ๐๐

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.
Tarion Shelby, at right, was hired this semester to work in our Child Nutrition Department at Shull Early Learning Center with Tracy Hoover. Tarion was a Transition Skills student at the LEAD Center. The partnership resulted in a positive experience for Tarion and for Shull.
๐ We couldn't be prouder of Caleb and Aaron for being awarded the Helpful and Kind Award! ๐ Caleb went above and beyond with his helpful actions. Aaron showed incredible compassion by helping a friend who was struggling to come in from recess. Kindness matters! ๐
We had three Shark Tooth Winners last week! Leo in Mrs. O'Donnell, Silas in Mrs. Barbarick and Nicole in Ms. Goodwins class. Way to go friends! Great job
PreK Registration is open!
Registration for pre-kindergarten programs for the 2025-2026 school year is now open. Children who will be 4 years old on or before July 31, 2025, and who reside in the Ray-Pec School District, may register for classes at Shull Early Learning Center.
Ray-Pec plans to have in-person school tomorrow.
We donโt 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 citiesโ 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 todayโs 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
Shull Early Learning Center still has openings for the spring semester! If you reside in the Ray-Pec School District and have children who will be in Kindergarten for the 2025-26 school year, now's the time to get a head start.
