After School Meal Program Secondary Expansion

Beginning, October 1, 2018, the Raytown School District’s Food Service Department will expand the After School Meal program, under the Health and Senior Services Child and Adult Care Food Program (CACFP), to all students in grades 6-12. At dismissal, students will be able to grab a meal as they head home for the day. Students can grab their meal near main exits as well as the cafeteria. In the past, the After School Meal program was only available to students in after school enrichment programs, sports, and clubs. Expansion of the program will help the District fill the gap in time between meals for students by providing nutritional meals after school. The District hopes to expand this program to elementary students in the future. Meals include a sandwich, fruit, vegetable, and milk. After school meal program menus are available, here. For more information about the program, view the flyer. 

Sprigeo

We recognize that creating a safe learning environment is a critical part of helping each child achieve academic success. This year, we will introduce Sprigeo, a new online system that parents, guardians, and students can use to report bullying incidents and school safety threats. Sprigeo will give our stakeholders another medium for communicating with our school administration when bullying or school safety incidents occur. All information sent through the Sprigeo system goes directly to school administrators through a secure online connection.
