We continue to prioritize safety in the School District of New Berlin! Part of the way that we do that is through emergency drill practice. In October, we take the time to complete some of our required drills for the year, so students know what to expect. During the week of October 14th:

Monday: Teachers will review all drill procedures with our students using age appropriate language

Tuesday: Severe Weather Drill (formerly "tornado drill"), where students will move to their storm shelter locations, practice the safe position, and we evaluate the building for space, etc. This drill is required twice per year, and we will complete another one in April.

Wednesday: We will have our October Fire Drill. We are required to practice this monthly, and already had one in September!

Thursday: Hold Drill. This type of situation would occur if there was a medical or student emergency in the hallways. Teachers close/lock their door and continue teaching as they normally would. We will also complete this again in the spring.

Our overarching message to all students for any drill is "Listen to the adult that you are with." Our staff have had additional training with our New Berlin Police Department on other types of potential emergencies and how to respond.

As always, please reach out to administration with any questions or concerns you might have.

Per the 2024-2025 school calendar, teachers must hold parent-teacher conferences during the weeks of 10/21 and 10/28. At Ronald Reagan, we have selected two common nights that the majority of our conferences will be held:

• Thursday, October 24; 4:30-7:30
• Wednesday, October 30; 4:30-7:30

Selecting two common dates helps our specialist teachers be available, as well as our special education staff.

Teachers may still schedule conferences outside of those two dates to accommodate family schedules. Your student's homeroom teacher will reach out with exact times to sign up.

We look forward to continuing to partner with you to support your student's learning here at Ronald Reagan!

The Education Foundation of New Berlin (EFNB), in partnership with the School District of New Berlin’s Mental Health Advisory Committee, is launching a special day of giving on October 10 in honor of the WHO’s World Mental Health Day. Funds raised will go directly to the Drew Lietke Memorial Mental Health Care Fund at the EFNB, ensuring that all students in the district can access essential mental health care, regardless of financial barriers. Please consider making a donation here to help us reach our $2,500 goal to provide support for student well-being. Together, we can ensure that every student in the SDNB has access to the mental health care they need to thrive academically and emotionally.

Parents: Help Your Child Get Ready for School!

Eisenhower Theater kicks off it's 24/25 season with a hilarious farce!

Upstart detectives Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson are on their first case. Their client, a young H.G. Wells, has hired the novice detectives to find a manuscript by Arthur Conan Doyle. Hiding from their angry landlord, Holmes and Watson duck into Wells’s time machine, push a few buttons, and soon find themselves in the 21st century. They end up at the Freudly Institute, where they meet Marilyn Monroe, George Washington, Tarzan, Emily Dickinson, Count Dracula, Lizzie Borden, and Queen Victoria. Actually, these are patients at the institution with grandiose delusions that they are these famous characters, which explains why Holmes is treated like just another patient! And they think Watson is his doctor who’s just “playing along”!

When the body of an unknown victim is found on the grounds of the institute, Holmes sets out to uncover the clues, while trying to prove that he is the real Sherlock Holmes.
