RAUB ANNOUNCEMENTS 

A Welcome Back Message From Principal Delgado

I am super excited to welcome you back to the 2020-2021 school year! I would like to extend a special welcome to all new families joining Raub this year and welcome back all our returning Raub families as well! I am truly honored to be your Principal. Our vision at Raub is to create multiple pathways so that Raub students will be lifelong learners empowered to lead with empathy, persevere through challenges, and use their voice to thrive in their community. We are determined to draw on the entire community to foster a safe, respectful environment that honors students’ voices, challenges students through authentic learning experiences, and celebrates accomplishments together. My vision, as the Principal, is to ALWAYS empower ALL students! My belief is that all students have inherent worth and can learn. As educators, we need to honor each student’s unique qualities in order to differentiate our instruction to support diverse learning styles. Through a collaborative effort, we want children to thrive in all ways possible. My hope is that all children will LOVE learning and that we can cultivate a culture in which students feel safe, valued, and nurtured.   

 Student success is attributed to the partnership and the relationships that we build within our community and this is more important now more than ever. It truly does take a village and at Raub we value teamwork and collaboration. We thank ALL of our community partners! Education is a family venture and TEAM Raub greatly appreciates the support you provide for your children at home and at school to help them meet their objectives.   
 
Although the Virtual Campus looks different than any other year, we provide your child(ren) with a memorable, interactive, engaging “Real Time” & “Any Time” learning experience. In the “Raub Way” spirit, the Raub staff will be focusing on all of the positives that we can take from this experience and as the role models in our students lives, it is important that we display a positive attitude towards Virtual Campus each and every day. I encourage our Beloved Raub community to do the same at home.
