Greetings Raney Knight Families,

We have had a very successful start to our school year and we want to thank all of our community for making it happen. Our staff has worked very hard to set our students up for success with engaging lessons and by having students develop good study skills. Our parents have been exceptional partners as they have ensured students are arriving on time and coming prepared to school. Our students have started a legendary year and display Raney ROCKs school wide expectations everyday. We love seeing every one wearing Raney Blue on Fridays; we are all feeling the Raney Love.


Another success we want to share is that we met our student attendance goal of 96% or higher 5 times this month. Attend today, achieve tomorrow! And remember, September is Attendance Awareness Month. Let's create good habits that will last a lifetime.


We are thrilled to announce we will be breaking ground soon on our brand-new gymnasium here at Raney Intermediate. While few construction impacts are anticipated, we thank you all for your patience and understanding as these get underway on our campus. We look forward to seeing the completed projects in early 2026! Read more here https://bit.ly/4cJbmRl

In anticipation of construction, we have closed off certain areas from students and wish to remind you to follow the traffic flow we have shared with you. It will be critical for safety and to help our construction crews as they begin their work. Please pick up students in the loop of the Solar Panel Staff Parking Lot and make only right turns into the driveway and as you exit the driveway to support a quicker and safer flow of traffic for us all. Student are required to use crosswalks.

Raney ROCKs Schoolwide Expectations - Dress Code

Raney ROCKs stands for Respect, Ownership, Commitment, and Kindness. These four principles guide our school wide expectations. School Dress code is under Ownership. Students, please remember to dress appropriately on our campus.

The following items are considered inappropriate/unacceptable for school attire:

  • Bare midriffs (no skin showing).

  • Oversized bottoms. Please adhere to bottoms must fit at the hip so they will stay on without a belt (correct waist and length size).

  • Clothing with words/images of alcohol, drugs (Cookies), gang affiliation, violence, and/or pornography.

  • No sports slides or slippers. If Crocs are worn the need to be in sport mode for safety (the strap over the back of the heel).

Below are more important Raney announcements.

Daily Raney Schedule

Gates open at 7:30 a.m. Please arrive at school by 7:30 a.m. so that you will not be late to your 1st period class. Our EARLY OUT DAY is EVERY WEDNESDAY and begins on August 21.

Drop Off and Pick Up

Due to construction, our drop off and pick up will be different from last year. The gate by the Cafeteria Driveway will be closed to student access for the entire year.


All students can be dropped off and picked up next to the Solar-Panels Parking Lot. Please follow attached diagram. Enter through the driveway and loop around to the student Drop Off Area.


Bike Riders have a new gated area to lock their bicycles towards the back of the Solar-Panel Parking Lot. Students are to get off their bike and walk it in once they arrive onto school property.


The front parking lot is for busses and permitted cars only. Please do not drop students off in this parking lot.


For student safety and well being, we discourage students from being dropped off or picked up at Lincoln Park where there is no student supervision.

Raney ROCKs

Raney ROCKs stands for Respect, Ownership, Commitment, and Kindness. These four principles guide our school wide expectations.

Electronic Devices Policy

We expect that phones and earbuds/Airpods are off in backpacks once students enter campus. Phones and earbuds/Airpods should remain off and in backpack until after they leave through the gate after dismissal.

Student IDs

Students must have their ID Badges available to display at all times. When entering campus when gates open at 7:30am, all students are required to show their ID as part of our keeping our campus secure.


2024-25 Picture ID badges will be handed out to all students once fall pictures are taken. Until then, students will be given a temporary ID at Orientation. These are the ones that must be displayed.



ID Badges are also used to reward students for their positive actions and showing Raney ROCKs expectations. These points can then be used at our Raney Student Store.

Raney SWAG Expectations

Our Raney school swag enhances school safety, pride, unity, and community spirit. Let’s show our Knight pride and let everyone know that Raney ROCKs!

We highly encourage our Raney swag and will be celebrating students who wear it with incentives. The more you wear it the more positivity at our school!


Visit the school office if you need to purchase your Raney Swag.

Show your School Spirit!

Show your school spirit!

Wednesdays: AVID College or University Shirts

No Drop Off

In order to ensure school safety, drop-offs in the front office are not accepted. Students will not be called out of class to collect drop-offs. No food deliveries accepted. Thank you in advance for keeping our front office a place of business.

No Food Deliveries to the School

Help us to ensure safety of the campus and minimize interruptions to the learning environment by not sending food deliveries or allowing students to use such apps/services. We do not accept drop off from food delivery companies.

No Early Release

We will not process or call up students for early releases after 1:24pm or 12:34pm on Wednesdays. NO EXCEPTIONS! Please plan ahead for things like doctors and dentists appointments to ensure that you are able to pick them up before the cut-off time.
