🎥 Staff Spotlight 🎥
In this episode of Staff Spotlight, Raymore-Peculiar School District Superintendent, Dr. Mike Slagle, chats with Stephanie Pugh. Stephanie is an art teacher at the Ninth Grade Center.
As we prepare to cheer for the Chiefs this weekend, we also are looking ahead to next week. As a reminder, schools are not in session on Monday, Feb. 12, for staff collaboration. If the Chiefs win on Sunday, Ray-Pec schools will not be in session on Wednesday, Feb. 14. After much discussion, it was decided that it would be difficult to maintain a normal school day due to the high number of families and staff planning to attend the Super Bowl Champion celebration activities.
Classes would be canceled. No virtual learning will occur. The Ray-Pec Administrative Services Center would be open. All school buildings would be closed. BOOST (Best Out Of School Time) would open at 8 a.m. for families who are already enrolled.
The make-up day for Feb. 14 would be on Tuesday, Feb. 20, which is currently on the calendar as a non-attendance day for students.
Should the Chiefs receive an unfavorable result, schools will be in session as usual on Wednesday, Feb. 14.
Kindergarteners at Creekmoor Elementary celebrated the 100th Day of school by becoming "The 10x10 Construction Crew". They worked throughout the day on STEM activities related to construction and the number 100!
Courtwarming is here! 🏀🔥
Tonight, we defend home court against the Belton Pirates! Tip is scheduled for 7:00 pm.
