Raccoon Grade School

Dear Families, Our Book Blast event has just a few days left. If you haven’t, register your student and invite at least 10 friends and family: http://bookblast.booksarefun.com/RaccoonCSD62801 Already registered? We still need your help to get more books for our students. Inviting 2 more friends or family to this wonderful cause will help us reach our goal (use the link above). Your participation also helps our teachers earn school supplies and books for their classrooms, and your student still has a chance to win a Treasure Chest stuffed with cash! Thank you for showing our students they are supported by you, your friends, family, and our community! Thank you,

Due to illness we do not have a driver for the Green bus. We will have to split with other buses and drop off times will be later. Please bare with us on the later times getting home. If you are able to pick up your student please call the school .
