June 26, 2015 SATISFACTION SURVEYS If you are a parent of a child in Grade 4, we are asking that you take a few moments to do a on line survey. This survey will give myself and the staff valuable information about your feelings about Rayleigh Elementary. The survey is totally confidential and only takes about 5 minutes to complete. Grade 4 students will be bringing home a letter with the instructions on how to access the survey on line. Thank you in advance for providing us with this valuable information. Your input is appreciated! PRINCIPAL'S MESSAGE Welcome Back! I hope you all had a wonderful Spring Break with your families. The next three months will go by quickly and we have a lot to accomplish as a school. Much of what happens now is planning for next year and with that comes looking more closely at our School Improvement Plan. As you know, our goals are focused on Reading and Writing. As a staff, we are looking closely at our school results in conjunction with the FSA. We are looking closely at trends and making decisions about how to move forward. Prior to Spring Break, you should have received your child's report card. If you have any questions regarding your child's progress, please feel free to contact your child's teacher. As always, thank you for your support and partnership. Mrs. Hassall and Mrs. Collins' classes celebrated International Pi Day (3/14) with a variety of fun activities in their classrooms.
