A message from the Principal...
Dear Parents,
As we step into the final month of school, I want to take a moment to reflect on the wonderful achievements we’ve witnessed throughout the year.
Tremendous Growth: Our students have shown remarkable progress across all grade levels.
AR Testing Success: We celebrate our students' success with Accelerated Reader testing, with many reaching the impressive milestone of 100 points!
Kindergarten Participation: Our Kindergarten students have been exceptional in their participation in AR.
Chess Competition: Some of our talented Rayburn Chess members will be representing us at the National Competition.
End of Year Assessments: Students in Pre-K through 2nd grade demonstrated significant growth on their End of Year Reading and Math Assessments.
Track and Elevate Teams: Both teams competed with great skill and earned numerous recognitions.
3rd-5th Grade Learning: Data shows that our 3rd to 5th graders have made substantial gains in Reading, Math, and Science throughout the year.
These accomplishments highlight just a fraction of the hard work and dedication that our students and staff have put forth this year. Each day, I witness the commitment of the Rayburn staff to provide a safe environment and the highest quality education while ensuring our students have the opportunity to enjoy their childhood.
I want to express my heartfelt gratitude to everyone involved in our students' success: parents, teachers, coaches, club sponsors, support staff, office personnel, administrators, counselors, community members, school board members, the superintendent, and our content coordinators. It truly takes a village to nurture a child to reach their fullest potential, and I am proud of what we offer our students.
It is both my honor and pleasure to serve as Principal at Rayburn Elementary. I wish everyone a safe and restful summer!
Warm regards,
Mrs. Clarissa Partida
Rayburn Elementary Principal
