Nebraska School Board Recognition Week - January 22 - 28, 2017

In appreciation for your commitment serving the patrons and students of Raymond Central. Thank you for your support in making this a great school district. Your role as decision-makers comes with tremendous responsibility in being fiscally sound and still providing a quality educational setting for staff and students.  Thank you again for serving as a community leader on the Raymond Central Board of Education.

Dr. Gary Nunnally was here working with the teaching staff with our instructional model. We continue to receive training on each component while infusing the 9 high yield strategies of teaching from the Marzano Institute.  

The staff participated in an activity called "Breakout".  This is a teaching strategy that can be used in education and in the business world.  Teams of teachers work to solve clues to eventually open a box to "breakout".  All of the activities and clues dealt with the instructional model they have been learning and working with this year.  It was a great activity and exciting to see the staff work together on their instructional model.
