It was recently reported that there was a heavy police presence near Raa Middle School. This was because police were escorting an ambulance to the hospital due to an incident involving a law enforcement officer not near the school. Raa Middle School was not placed on Lockout or Lockdown because there was never a threat to the school, its students, or staff.
The PTO is excited to announce our RAM FAM giving campaign. TODAY through Friday we are sponsoring a giving campaign in hopes of raising over $6,000. We are planning to use these donations to fund a privacy fencing that will be put up along MLK Blvd. to bolster campus security and give extra privacy to our students and faculty. Funds will also be used for student activities, and teacher supplies.
At approximately 7:25 am this morning, our cafeteria staff discovered a small oven fire while preparing breakfast for our students. The Leon County Fire Department was called and our before-school students were evacuated from the campus. The fire was quickly extinguished and before school students returned to campus.
Thanks to a partnership with the Foundation for Leon County Schools and the Comcast Foundations, Raa Middle School will be offering a very special program for our parents. On January 31st at 5:00pm, Ms. Paul and Dr. Scott will be offering courses in digital literacy. This course will range from basic digital skills like creating an email address and safety online, through more advanced skills using tools such as Microsoft Excel and Word. We will also be incorporating career readiness skills such as resume building and interviewing to land the perfect job.
Due to anticipated severe weather entering the Leon County area within the next 24 hours, Leon County Schools has made the decision to close schools on Tuesday, January 9, 2024. All afterschool activities will be cancelled for Tuesday as well. Afterschool activities for Monday, January 8 may proceed as scheduled.

In two weeks, students will begin testing for PM2 -- the statewide progress monitoring assessment. The purpose of the assessment is to monitor student growth in ELA and Math as the year progresses. Students assess three times -- once at the beginning of the year, at mid-year, and at the end of the year. It is highly important that students arrive to school on time and do their very best on the assessment.

Please take this time to make sure your email is updated and correct in FOCUS.
