Raymondville Elem. had to run double bus routes today. Please know that your child may be delayed in their drop off time. We are sorry for the issue.
We are excited to share with you that all of our students will continue to receive free breakfast and lunches throughout the school year. This is because the Seamless Summer Option Program has been extended . We are grateful for our school and community.
Parent/Teacher Conferences are scheduled for Thursday, October 22. This year there are 3 different options to meet with the teacher; in person, virtual, or phone. Please fill out the form and return back to your child's teacher so they can schedule all the conferences for their classrooms. If you did not get a form then please contact the teacher or the office so a meeting can be scheduled. Raymondville R-7 School will not be in session on Friday, October 23.
For the upcoming Raymondville Middle School Basketball season, we have had to implement changes that were agreed upon with all the K-8 schools we will play. These changes are implemented for everyone’s safety because of the Corona Virus. These are the changes that will impact our families and community:
Each game is limited to 70 spectators (35 for each team)
Vouchers will be used for admittance that the schools will give (each player will have 2 vouchers to use for their family for each game) Tickets will be sent home with players the day before the game.
Masks are highly recommended, but not required
Temperature checks at the door
Live streaming of all home games will be done through that School’s Facebook page
We understand that these changes can be difficult, but we hope that each of you will be supportive and respectful of each of the districts.

The Raymondville School District was approved to offer free breakfast and lunch meals to all students through December 2020. This is from an extended waiver for the Seamless Summer Option, which is part of the National School Lunch Program. This program was not extended until 8/31, so students would only owe for the first 3 days of school. Lunch bills are being sent home today. We are grateful for this program and hope that it benefits our families.
******UPDATES******
Tomorrow is fall picture day. We have extra forms in the office if you need one.
Also, the Raymondville RVII school board meeting has been changed to tomorrow at 5pm.
