Raney ROCKs Newsletter 8/16/24

Greetings Raney Knight Families,

We have had an amazing first week of school and are thrilled to have our students on campus. Please continue to support a successful start to the day by having your child arrive at 7:30 a.m. with their student ID badge, charged Chromebook, backpack with binder/school supplies, and their electronic devices off in their backpack. We appreciate your support of our commitment for students to be career and college ready.

This week your child attended two assemblies. The first one was with our Raney Administration team to learn more about our Raney ROCKs schoolwide expectations. We discussed the importance of student safety and well being, campus safety, and academic excellence. Students know they are held to the expectations of being Respectful, showing Ownership and Commitment, as well as being Kind towards others. Raney students demonstrating Raney ROCKs characteristics will thrive as legendary scholars as well as thriving citizens of our community and beyond.

The second assembly was to learn about the Interquest Detection Canines. CNUSD works with Interquest Detection Canines, a service that utilizes non-aggressive contraband detection canines. Visits are unannounced and are conducted at all of our intermediate and high school sites. The dogs are trained to detect all commonly abused drugs (including vapes), alcoholic beverages, firearms, ammunition, and prescription and over-the-counter medication. Searches are conducted in communal areas, lockers, gym areas, parking lots, automobiles, grounds, and other select areas as directed by site administrators who escort handlers and their dogs throughout the campus. The dogs have been well-received at all our secondary sites and have played a vital role in providing a safe school environment.

I look forward to a successful year and partnership with you.

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.

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.
