It takes a village to raise a child, but an army to feed these Mustangs. What a team! What a family!!

Strategies included but were not limited to: Rapport Building, Extended Wait Time, Reflective Questions, Push-Pull (APL), Multi-media , Student Choice, Small and large group pairings, Direct Instruction, Interactive Groupings, Dynamic Pairs, and Flexible Seating. Wow!

Students and staff combined to attend the August Board Meeting. Senior students attended as part of their graduation requirements while members of the staff presented the new Six Phase Instructional Model to the Board.





So it begins! Mustang educators in the act of teaching today. No we are cooking! So much going on I couldn’t possibly catch it all.











Let’s go RC Mustang Athletics! The football, volleyball, and cross-country teams are gearing up for their fall campaigns. This should be a season of transition for all of these teams. Softball is no exception. Pictures are coming. These athletes have bought in! This should be fun.











Yep! Yep! Away we go!! Raymond Central students and staff were back in the house today. My apologies to the 7th grade as it was the only group's picture I failed to capture in the rotations. I promise I will make up for it later. What a great start!!! Welcome back Mustang Nation!
