Kindergarten Registration Begins Today

Kindergarten registration for the 2024-2025 school year begins today, Friday, March 15.

If your child will be 5 years old by Aug. 1, 2024, see information about kindergarten registration and screening.

As you register, you will select a time and date for an in-person screening appointment. Screening dates vary by school.

Because the District is transitioning this year from Tyler SIS to Focus School Software, families registering an incoming kindergarten student will initially register using a Google form.

You will not be required to email/provide proof of residency during kindergarten round-up this spring. All Prek-12 parents/guardians are required to register online in July, and you will prove residency at that time. This process includes incoming kindergarten and new-to-the-district families, and will take place within the new Focus student information system.

Registration for Shull PreK Programs Opens March 15

Registration for pre-kindergarten programs also begins today, Friday, March 15. Children who will be 4 years old before Aug. 1, 2024, and who reside in the Ray-Pec School District, may register for classes at Shull Early Learning Center.

For information, and to RSVP, go to the Shull website.

Pickleball Courts Under Construction at Peculiar Elementary

If you’ve driven past Peculiar Elementary School this week, you may have noticed excavation work under way at the corner of Third Street and South Street.

This corner of the school property is being developed as a pickleball court that will be available for use by students, staff, and patrons. The project is a partnership between the school district, the Peculiar Charitable Foundation, and the City of Peculiar.

The Ray-Pec School Board approved donating approximately 0.48 acre of land on the school’s site to the Peculiar Charitable Foundation. The foundation is paying to construct the courts.

The school and school district has the first right of usage for the courts, and signage posted at the courts will indicate when the court is available for public use. Parking for the pickleball court will be allowed on the 12 southern parking stalls, and signage will be posted at those stalls.
