Welcome

Welcome to a New School Year at Ray St. Pierre Academy, Mudbugs!

I am honored to partner with each of you in the most important work we do: helping our children grow into the brilliant, compassionate, and capable learners who will shape our community and our world.

Our theme this year is: “Under Instruction: Building Brighter Futures.”

This theme is more than just a motto. It’s a reflection of who we are and what we believe in. Much like our school building, which is growing and improving every day, we too are always under construction. As students, educators, and families, we are all learning, evolving, and building something meaningful together. A strong school is built with intention–on solid foundations, careful planning, and, most importantly, community.

To be a Ray St. Pierre Mudbug means being part of a vibrant, united family. It means being curious, working hard, thinking critically, and learning how to grow—not just academically, but as people. Our students are encouraged to explore boldly, to think independently, and to discover their unique potential. And none of that happens alone; that takes all of us. As your school family, we are here for you. Whether it’s through clear communication, academic support, or simply being available when you need us, we are committed to walking this journey together.

Ray St. Pierre Academy is a place where students are seen, valued, and celebrated. A place where hard work is encouraged, questions are welcomed, and growth is a shared goal. I thank you for your trust and for being an essential part of our school family. I look forward to an incredible year of learning, connection, and building something beautiful—together.

Here’s to a year of construction, instruction, and transformation.
Let’s build brighter futures—together.

Mudbug Strong,
