Dear Parents and Students:
Welcome to the 2018-2019 school year at Ray Elementary! I hope everyone had an excellent and relaxing summer. The middle school team is looking forward to a school year filled with a love for learning and growth. We welcome regular and consistent communication and partnership in the education of your child. Parental support will be necessary in order for all students to reach their potential and strive to succeed beyond it.
We are looking forward to a very successful and exciting year! We have high academic and social expectations for your child and will provide supports to help your child achieve those expectations. It is our goal to provide all students with an challenging and fun experience in our classrooms.
Below you will find some needed information about some of the classroom policies.
Expectations:
Only your child’s best behavior and work are expected and accepted at all times.
All students must:
1) Be on their honor. Students must do their own work on homework, class assignments, tests
and projects.
2) Respect themselves, classmates, and teachers.
3) Do their best. Always give 100% and be positive.
4) Be in attendance and be on time.
5) Students shall not engage in activities that could cause harm to themselves or others.
6) Students shall not talk to or about themselves, another student, or a teacher in a disrespectful or inappropriate manner.

8) Students must be prepared each day by having proper materials.

Communication:
