St. Raymond Elementary School 2020-2021

October, 2020 The Month of the Rosary. Pray the Rosary as a family.

Dear Parents/Guardians,

School has gotten off to a good start. Our re-opening plan saw our students coming back to school on a

hybrid schedule. We opened the school year with 665 students enrolled in our programs. I would like to thank

you for your cooperation and understanding as we brave this new approach to educating your children. The

teachers have worked extremely hard on this new model of teaching and learning. They are balancing on-line stu-

dents and in-person students simultaneously. They received three days of professional development the first

week of September and became familiar with the new equipment in their classroom. We have conducted two fire

drills and one soft lockdown drill. We are happy to announce last year’s First Holy Communion and Confirmation

candidates will receive their sacraments this month. New mass attendance slips (pink) will go home this month.

Please begin using them. Last year’s slips won’t count towards attendance. Finally, winter uniforms will begin on

November 2nd. Once again, thank you for your cooperation with our morning drop-off.

*Please note-we had our six month asbestos review. We are up to date and in full compliance with regulations.

Congratulations to Students of the month for October:
