E. Ray Family Newsletter
August 17th-August 21st

Dear E. Ray Families, As we close out our first week of school, I simply want to say thank you. While this was not the first week of school any of us expected, we have been incredibly touched by the kindness, care, and support shown by our families and community. We are truly grateful for the compassion you have extended to our students, staff, and one another. Even in the midst of tragedy, our Bulldogs have shown resilience. Students are adjusting to our school routines, learning our campus expectations, and demonstrating what it means to be Responsible, Respectful, Kind, and Safe. I am so proud of our Bulldogs and the way they continue to support one another each day. As we begin a new week, we will continue moving forward together with grace, hope, and a commitment to providing a safe and caring environment for every child. Thank you for your continued partnership and for being such an important part of the E. Ray family. We look forward to seeing our Bulldogs tomorrow morning. Mrs. Young
Principal, E. Ray Elementary
