From the Principal

Ranger Patrons,

I would like to say thank you to the Raymond Park Parent, Teacher and Student Association (PTSA) for the daily acts of appreciation provided to the Raymond Park Staff for Teacher Appreciation last week. I am also grateful to of our parents who reached out to teachers and administration with well wishes and appreciation last week as well. The Raymond Park staff is a special group who have helped our students navigate a year of difficult circumstances. I could not be any prouder of RP's commitment to our kiddos, and it is good to see when many among the Warren Community feels the same!

5th grade - no choice in related arts. All students will take a rotation of art, music, physical education and STEM (technology).

6th grade - choice of performance music class, or rotation of art, music, physical education and STEM (technology). 6th grade related arts information may be found here.

7th and 8th grade - choice of performance music, art, Project Lead the Way, Spanish and physical education. 7th and 8th grade related arts information may be found here.

Continuing this week, grade level counselors will be communicating specific instructions to students regarding the scheduling process. The process includes next year's 6-8th grade students having the opportunity to request their preferred related arts classes. Please reach out to your student's grade level counselor with questions regarding class information.

Proud to be a Ranger
