Raney Intermediate School

Raney ROCKs Newsletter 9/13/24

Greetings Raney Knight Families,

We want to thank our community for making our first month of school a legendary experience for all. Our teachers have worked to set procedures and processes in their classrooms to ensure student success. Families have supported their students by making sure that each day their student brings their picture ID, fully charged chrome book, and is ready to learn.

We are pleased to announce that Raney has received a Silver recognition award from California PBIS (Positive Behavioral Interventions and Support program) for successful PBIS Implementation. Students earn points by showing Raney ROCKs (Respect Ownership Commitment and Kindness) while on campus. One easy way is by bringing their picture ID in the morning when they come to school and scanning it at the gate. We also reward with points for wearing Raney Swag on Fridays or participating on different school spirit days.

We had our first PBIS activity last week during our lunch time Club Rush. Students were able to gain information on the various clubs and sports teams they can join. Students "purchased" Otter Pops with PBIS points they have earned. They also ate popcorn as they gathered information about the different clubs.

This week has been extra busy with our inclement weather schedule due to the unhealthy air quality. Students ate breakfast and lunch in the multipurpose room. Many of our amazing teachers volunteered to host students in their classrooms during lunch time. Our thoughts continue to be with all those affected by the fires and with our partner schools who remained closed.

September is Attendance Awareness month. Please encourage your student to get to school on time, remember that gates open at 7:30 AM. Students have met our 96% attendance goal 12 times so far this year. They were rewarded with extra minutes during some of their lunch time. Students who attend today, will achieve tomorrow!

The gold ribbons around campus were put up by our PTSA in honor of Childhood Cancer Awareness Month. This year they are highlighting the importance of research in creating better futures for children with cancer. If you have not joined PTSA please do. Envelopes can be found in the front office or go to this link:

From September 15 to October 15 we celebrate Hispanic Heritage Month. This year’s theme is “Pioneers of Change: Shaping the Future Together.”

Our basketball teams have been selected. Come out and cheer our teams on. First game is September 24 at Norco Intermediate at 4:00 PM for the girls and 5:00 PM for the boys. Please look at the expectations below for away games.

Next week, September 16-20 will be our annual Ice Cream Social Fundraiser at Baskin Robbins 160 Foothill Parkway. Come out and watch your teachers in a scoop off. Principal scoop off September 20 at 3:30 PM.

As a reminder due to construction, certain areas have been closed off from student access. We want to remind you to follow the traffic flow. Please drop off and 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. Also please drive safely and only drop off students on the curb and not in the parking stalls.

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).

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.
