The Raymer Record

Mission: We provide innovative educational opportunities that ensure each student is prepared for their future.

Vision: We empower each and every student to lead and live a purpose-driven life.

Dear Raymer Families,

We want to thank you for attending the parent/teacher conferences. We had a very successful turnout. Working as a team helps keep our students successful and maintains the positive school climate we continue to strive for. We genuinely appreciate your support!

A few reminders of some upcoming events. We will be having our gifted testing for grades 2 and 4 on November 9th-13th. Our next Ohio Skate night is on November 11th. Additionally, we have lunch with a VIP for our students on November 11th. Feel free to bring your own lunch on this day. We will be providing school lunches to students only. We have our Thanksgiving Break November 23rd-27th (no school).

We need all guardians, who have not updated their returning registration in parent portal, to do so immediately. Students will not be able to participate at recess or go on field trips without this completed. Ms. Jasmine will be able to help you if you have have any questions or need assistance completing it.

Please try to make all arrangements for dismissal before the school day begins. We understand emergencies happen, however, we would like to limit interrupting the classroom with phone calls. In addition, please call the school with any changes to bussing prior to 3:00 pm. We appreciate your understanding with this.

We are now entering months with colder weather—a friendly reminder to send your child to school warmly dressed in proper outdoor clothes. Please remember to label all your children's outdoor attire (hats, gloves, coats/jackets) with their names.

As always, we are looking forward to another great month!

Mrs. Yolanda Mies

Reminder: You must be present on November 11th to attend. Additionally, you can't have any suspensions in November in order to attend.

We are still looking to form a parent organization at Raymer Elementary. Please email me if interested in working together to establish a parent group.

Raymer Elementary has created a Facebook page. Visit the link listed to begin following the page. This page will be updated with the most up-to-date information.

Please note, we are enforcing a no toys or trading cards including Pokemon cards as school. We will send home with the student the first time. The second time a parent or guardian will need to pick them up in the office.

You can find the 2026-2027 school year handbook on our website, https://raymerelementary.tps.org, under Important Information.

Please note, all cell phones will be collected daily.

Breakfast will be served at 8:45 am. Any student getting breakfast should enter the cafeteria doors by the playground.

For all other students, doors will open at 8:50 am, with the final bell ringing at 9:05 am (this is the late bell). Therefore, students should not arrive before 8:50 am.

The students should come to their assigned doors (both entrances at the front of the building) and report directly to their classrooms. The following are doors assigned to each grade level:

• Grades K-3- Arrival and dismissal at main entrance
• Grades 4-8- Arrival and dismissal at door to the left of the main entrance (not the playground doors)

Please have a talk with your children about heading straight home once dismissed.

Please note: We will not utilize the back of the building for arrival and dismissal.

Dismissal Times

• Grades K-6- dismiss at 3:20
• Grades 7, 8- dismiss at 3:25

Parent Portal is an online information system designed to help parents and guardians monitor information about their student's academic progress, including grades, attendance, report cards, and teacher comments. You can access the system or sign-up as a user by visiting raymerelementary.tps.org. Call the school for further assistance.

Please remember to sign in to update all information and fill out a new emergency contact form for the 26-27 school year. This needs to be done yearly for all field trips and events.
