The Eagle Express

Can you believe we are starting October next week? So hard to believe that time is flying so quickly.

October brings our Fun Run (we are over 50% towards our goal!), Bring your Family to PE Week, Safety Week, Parent Teacher Conferences, and more!

Did you also know that October 2nd is Custodian Appreciation Day? We have the VERY best here with Mr. Casper, Ms. Vicki, and Mr. Rene! Did you know that Mr. Casper has been with the district for 43 years? He and his team make our school AMAZING each and every day! We are so truly thankful for them. How could you and your family show them some love this week?

We hope you get outside and enjoy this gorgeous fall weekend!

Yours in Loving Fall,

Angela Patterson, Principal

Matt Stich, Associate Principal

If you are traveling and your children will be staying with friends or family, we need to be made aware of this in case there is an emergency. If you haven't completed the annual review in Infinite Campus, do so as soon as possible. Here’s the link with how to update/check your emergency contacts.

Our fall parties at RR will take place on Thursday, October 31st (ELP 3 and EC will communicate their times/days) Your student's classroom teacher will communicate the exact times/activities with you.

A few reminders about costumes:

Thank you for your support!

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!

This is a national program sponsored by Active Schools and we thought it would be fun for families to see what is being learned in PE class as well as have an opportunity to join in the activity! It is completely voluntary for you to participate - you are welcome just to observe as well. Family members are welcome to attend 1 class with their child during their regularly scheduled PE class. If you have multiple children at Reagan, you may attend with each of them 1 time.

If you are interested in attending, please click on the link below, find your child’s homeroom teacher and time of class, and sign up so we know how many to expect. You will be required to put your name, email address, add a comment telling us your child’s first/last name and if you will participate or observe. Keep in mind that this invitation is for PE only and if you want to observe other classes you need to set that up with those specific teachers. We also ask that you refrain from bringing other children with you at this time for learning and safety purposes.

Bring Your Family to PE Sign-Up!

On the day you attend PE, please arrive a few minutes early to check into the office (you will need a valid ID for the RAPTOR program if you have not had it scanned at the front office) and, if participating, come dressed for the fun learning activities we have planned.

Please let me know if you have any questions and I look forward to seeing some of you in a couple weeks!

Thanks,

Do you want to promote school spirit? Are you interested in helping others in our community and our world? If so, you are perfect for Student Council!

We are looking for respectful and responsible fourth, fifth and sixth grade Ronald Reagan students who will positively model our school beliefs as this year’s student council representatives.

Members will meet to plan special spirit days, coordinate community projects and decide how we can help make our school a better place to learn and grow. Meetings will take place Wednesday mornings from 7:50-8:40 in the 5th grade pod. Our first meeting will take place on October 2. Additional meeting dates are listed below.

If you are interested in being a 2024-25 student council member please fill out the Student Council Application and return it with a parent signature to your teacher by Tuesday, September 24. Teachers will complete their part of the application before giving the completed applications to Mrs. Ward or Mrs. Kmichik by Wednesday, September 25.

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.
