Rays Update

Ray Community,

Learning is off to a great start this second semester and we are seeing wonderful examples of student learning throughout the building. This week it was an honor to showcase our campus to both our district and community. We loved having everyone on campus and walking classrooms. At both events we had a student panel who did an amazing job expressing how goal setting and daily reflection are guiding them toward academic success. Please be sure to ask your students about their daily reflection logs. They should be coming home each Friday in all grade level classrooms.

I want to add a quick safety reminder. Please know that it is not the safest method of drop off to pull to the side of Park St and let your child out. We cannot control traffic on Park and it causes significant safety concerns when this occurs.

We hope you have a wonderful weekend,

Alison Pennington

Principal

Is your child returning to Reagan Elementary next year and does your child possesses some of these Common Characteristics of Gifted Children (source: What is Giftedness?):

• Comprehends material above their age peers

• Surprising emotional depth and sensitivity

• Strong curiosity and unique interests

• Quirky sense of humor

• Creative problem solving and imagination

• Quick learning with minimal repetition

• Self-aware, socially aware, and globally aware

These MAY be indicators that the GT/QUEST program could be beneficial to your child. Screening for the GT/QUEST program is based on referral by any adult that knows the student. If you feel your child may have an educational need for gifted services, complete the Referral Forms provided on the Reagan Elementary Quest Website in order for them to be screened for the GT/QUEST program for the 2025-2026 school year.

Students may be referred for QUEST screening by filling out both of the parent input forms using the following links:

1. General Intellectual Scale Rating

1. Parent Referral Survey

1st - 5th grade forms due by March 1, 2025. Screening will begin in March and parents will be notified by April 1, 2025 if their child will move from screening to testing.

Kindergarten Screening begins in January. Input forms for Kinder students due by Jan. 31, 2025.

Schlitterbahn is partnering with Reagan Elementary to encourage students to read!

The Waves of Pages program is starting this week and will wrap up on February 21, 2025.
