SAFETY PROCEDURES FOR ALL VISITORS AND VOLUNTEERS
Between 8:00 a.m. and dismissal daily, always check into office prior to walking onto our campus. All
visitors and volunteers must sign in and wear a visitor badge.
HOW TO CONTACT YOUR CHILD’S TEACHER?
It is easy to contact your child’s teacher through email. Go to the school website and you may acquire
your teacher’s email through our website. You may also call the office and leave a message for the
teacher to return your call as soon as possible.
PARENTS, PLEASE PLAN AHEAD
I am sorry, but we cannot deliver forgotten items for your students such as lunches, homework, money,
etc. because it interrupts learning in the classroom for all students. Please make arrangements with your
children and/or teacher in advance for all necessary school items. We can always leave a message for a
teacher who will retrieve it at her break or at the end of the school day.
STUDENT DROP OFF 7:30 – 7:55 a.m.
Students should arrive at school between 7:30 a.m. – 7:55 a.m. in order to be on
time to school. Students that are on time are lined up when the bell rings and the
teacher welcomes them at 8:00 a.m. There is no supervision for children before 7:30 a.m.
Students may arrive for breakfast from 7:30 – 7:50 a.m. Parking lot supervisors supervise the school
parking lot every morning. Parents, please park in designated parking areas in our lot but never Double
Park your vehicle in the school parking lot at any time. Double parking blocks traffic that goes out to
our street and this becomes very dangerous.
We have also been warned by the police and the fire department not to have cars double-parked in our
parking lot and not to block emergency vehicle lane.
STUDENT DISMISSAL
Please do not leave your child in front of school waiting more than 15 minutes after school because after
this time there is no adult supervision for your child. Also, again for safety reasons, please do not
double-park your vehicle in our parking lot. Double parking blocks traffic that goes out to our street and
this becomes very dangerous. Remember that children are watching all adults around them and that
adults set the example for children at all times so please continue to set a great example for all Raymond
children.
FOOD PRICES - Breakfast $1.80 and Lunch $2.55
Envelopes are located in the office so you may pay on your child’s account. You may also pay on-line
through our district website at http://www.fullertonsd.org or https://www.myschoolbucks.com under Nutrition Services. Lunch
applications must be turned into the Nutrition Center office located on 389 W. Truslow Avenue. For
information call the Nutrition Center at 447-7435 or see website.
ABSENCES
When your child is absent, please call the office (447-7740) and leave a message with the following
information on our answering machine the night before or prior to 7:30 a.m. Please say the child’s
name, grade, reason for absence, and person calling.
ELECTRONIC DEVICES AT SCHOOL
Students may not bring toys or electronic devices to school and we strongly recommend no cell phones
at the elementary level.
If parent decides that student must have a cell phone, we recommend that they be turned into the school
office before school and picked up after school ends.
If parent would like student to carry a cell phone in their backpack or pocket during school hours, cell
phones must be turned off, powered down, and put away at all times while on campus. The school is not
responsible for lost or damaged cell phones and the school will not investigate cell phone loss or
misplacement. Phones within eyesight of a school official or phones that disrupt learning, will be
confiscated, and parent will be required to pick up the phone, by appointment, from the school principal.
Phones left on, will result in an office discipline referral (ODR). If a student needs to use a phone
during school hours, they must report to the office and use the office phone.
STUDENT DRESS CODE
The dress code for Raymond students reflects an emphasis on health and safety for work and play.
Shoes must be safe and permit running activities. Children should wear a low heel covered shoe, such as
a tennis shoe. School clothes should be comfortable and designed for safety. Clothing should not detract
from the academic program. For this reason, we do not allow bare midriffs, extremely baggy clothing,
bare shoulders, bare upper legs or very short shorts and ear stretching earrings. We also do not accept
inappropriate pictures, words or advertisements on clothing, such as those that promote violence,
inappropriate language, alcohol, tobacco or drugs. All shorts, skirts, and dresses should be no shorter
than fingertip length when arms are straight to the side. Also, make-up and artificial nails are not
allowed at school. A student who comes to school without proper attention to grooming and dress will
need to call a parent to have acceptable clothing brought to school.
RAYMOND RACCOON RULES OF CONDUCT
