RAYTOWN CENTRAL MIDDLE SCHOOL 10601 E. 59th Street Raytown, MO 64133 Phone: 816-268-7400 Fax: 816 268-7405 Dr. Jaime Sadich, Principal Mrs. Jackie Garmon, Asst. Principal Mr. Jason Vaughan, Asst. Principal March 23, 2017 Dear Raytown Central Middle School Parents and Guardians, Because student safety is important to our school operations and is a high priority, this letter is to inform you about a reported incident at Raytown Central Middle School. A student reported a sexual assault by another student to police. The reported incident occurred at Raytown Central Middle during the school day. Raytown Central Middle administration and the school district are cooperating with the Raytown Police Department and have begun an internal investigation into the reported behavior. We do not tolerate inappropriate sexual behavior of any kind and will take appropriate action based on our findings. As a part of our curriculum, teachers are trained to engage students in conversations focused on sexual well-being and safety, digital citizenship, and the role communication plays in identifying and asserting values and expectations in relationships. These conversations are ongoing and are considered critically important to developing socially and emotionally healthy young adults. We will continue to provide supports to all students in relation to this topic. Please partner with us by:  Reporting any information you may have which would help us protect students  Talking to your student about maintaining healthy relationships  Reminding your student to: o Avoid rumor and speculation o Immediately report incidents of concern to adults We appreciate the cooperative efforts of our families to ensure student safety. While I cannot speak about the open investigation or specific student discipline, if you have questions, please call me at 816-268-7400. Sincerely, Dr. Jaime Sadich Principal
