Facebook Information - Please note that as of June 15th, 2023 we will no longer have a Raymond School Closed Facebook page. The closed group was created to allow messaging to Raymond School Parents and Staff years ago.  As we have progressed throughout the years, we now have more effective means to alert everyone through email and text message directly from Skyward.  Please click the link to follow our public account and see the latest news from Raymond School! https://www.facebook.com/RaymondPanthers

Note From the Principal
Each spring Raymond School Staff begins the important process of assigning students to classrooms for the upcoming school year. Class lists are developed and are revised a number of times prior to the end of the school year. Teachers will meet with their teams, the principal, and specialists to discuss and recommend classroom assignments using the following criteria:
Â
Attempts to match students’ learning styles and instructional styles.
The need to maintain an academically heterogeneous group.
The need to balance the boy and girl ratio.
The need to separate students with a history of personality conflicts.
Information shared by parents.
Completing this form is optional. Forms are due to Mr. Peterson by Friday, April 28th. *Hardcopies of this form are available upon request.
