As we approach the end of the second month of school, we want to express our heartfelt gratitude for your help in getting your students to school. Our attendance is up, and as you know, the more time a student spends in class, the more they learn! The year has started out great, and we want to thank you. We appreciate the efforts you make to get your student to school on time, every day!
Our boys and girls basketball teams have started their season and we could not be more proud of their hard work. Students athletes have to carefully balance their practice time with their learning. They are true examples of what we mean by having a Legendary Experience at Raney. Come cheer them on but do remember that Raney students must follow all Away Game Expectations. See more info below.
PE classes are in full swing with dressing down and using the locker rooms. Please help your student remember to take their PE clothes home to wash and return it to school. Making a habit of taking it home on Friday afternoons and then brining it back clean on Monday morning is a skill that will lead to success.
On October 17, our school will be participating in the district-wide earthquake drill. The Great California Shake Out simulates a 6.5 magnitude earthquake. The sample scenario is meant to help us practice and prepare should such an event ever take place. It is a great reminder to make sure that your contact information is up to date on Parent Connect.
While we are thrilled that construction on the new gym on the East side of campus has begun, we know that it has changed the traffic flow around the school. The students have one entrance/exit near the solar panel parking lot, which is good from the perspective of knowing where our students are, but at the same time adds some complications to the drop-off and pick up process.
We know that traffic at drop-off and pick-up can be challenging. So we have some hints to help make it better:
If you are dropping off or picking up in the parking lot with the solar panels, please pull as far forward as possible before stopping - all the way to the end of the fence, if possible.
Please have your student ready to go! If they have their materials with them and can exit the vehicle quickly, it helps everyone.
Please remember that there is a "no left turn" sign for traffic on Citron turning into the solar panel parking lot. It might be easier to come around the school so you are approaching from Lincoln and can make a right into the school. Corona Police know that people make illegal left turns and have started ticketing for it.
When exiting the solar panel lot, if you can make a right turn onto Citron, it helps keep everyone moving.
If you can drop your student off before 7:40 or pick your student up after 2:35, there is almost no traffic.
Thank you,
Raney Administration
