As with every new school year, changes abound, so the Raider Review takes a look at what’s new at Rangeview for the 2023-2024 school year.
Grading Scale
This school year, Rangeview is changing to a new grading scale. From now on the grading scale will be 50-59=F 60-69=D 70-79=C 80-89=B 90-100=A. This new grading scale will make it easier for students to pass their classes. And for Honors classes, an A will now be weighed 4.5 instead of a 5. (Lyric Smith)
Late Start Wednesdays
Starting in the 2023-2024 school year Rangview Students and Staff will start instruction and class at 8:26 instead of 7:30, only on Wednesdays. The extra hour is intended for students and staff to have extra instructional time. This delay will result in classes being 50 minutes long instead of the usual length of 58 minutes. (Jeanae Ellis)
Professional Release Day
As we continue to kick the 2023-2024 school year off here at Rangeview, it’s important to note that students have some days off throughout the year. Friday, September 1st will be our first Professional Release Day of the year. Professional Release Days allow teachers a whole day to plan their upcoming assignments and lessons, along with some time for having staff meetings. Students, be sure to not show up on September 1st!

Parent Teacher Conferences
This year’s Semester 1 Parent Teacher Conferences are being held on Wednesday, September 6th and on Tuesday, September 12th. Teachers (and staff members) should be found in the Commons, the Large Gym, or the Small Gym. Unlike previous years, teachers will not be allowed to conduct conferences in their classrooms, and are restricted to only the designated areas listed above. (Ione Narajka)
