Ranger News

Ranger Patrons,

Before turning our full attention to preparations for the 21-22 school year, I wanted to recognize the outstanding academic achievement of Raymond Park students during the 20-21 school year.

The following 4th quarter honor rolls represent students that demonstrated outstanding achievement during the final grading period of the school year:

5th Grade Honor Roll

6th Grade Honor Roll

7th Grade Honor Roll

8th Grade Honor Roll

A number of students deserve recognition for year-long achievement. The following awards programs are designed to recognize students for their outstanding achievement during the course of the entire school year:

5th Grade Awards

6th Grade Awards

7th Grade Awards

8th Grade Awards

The 21-22 school year is scheduled to resume for students on Wednesday July 28. In the meantime, I hope that the next 7 weeks bring about summer opportunities that make good lifetime memories for our kids. Be safe.

Proud to be a Ranger

John Kleine, EdD

Principal
