As the semester is winding down, it's easy to forget to call in when your student is late to school or absent. As a courtesy to our teachers, staff, and administrators, please call our attendance office at 816-892-1412 or email hs_attendance@raypec.org and provide doctor notes from appointments that your students might have. Doing these small things in the morning of the day of an absence will help us keep your students in classes. It's also important to note that if your student is attending an off-site program like the LEAD Center or Cass County Career Center, these programs keep their own attendance separate from the high school. Therefore, please make sure to reach out to that program as well. Thank you for your help in this matter as we continue to ensure a safe and productive environment for all students.

The next ACT test date is June 8th. Go to Missouri ACT for more information and to register for the test. Regular registration for that date is May 3rd. Late registration with fees is May 19th.
