Dear Ronald Reagan community,
There are a lot of great things happening at our school this week:
Mental Health Awareness Week

Mustang Advisory Council Meeting, May 15
We will hold our last Mustang Advisory Council meeting on Wednesday, May 15, at 6:30pm via Zoom. Click here to see the agenda for the meeting.
Athletics Update
Please encourage students to finish the year strong. Students who fail two or more classes in the 4th quarter are not eligible to try out the following year for any fall sports.
Battlefield Marching Band
If you are a rising 8th or 9th grade student who is interested in joining the BHS Marching Band, there is an interest meeting on Wednesday, May 15, at 7pm in the Battlefield HS auditorium.
School Dress Code Reminder
Spring has sprung, and we are experiencing warmer weather. While we want students to be comfortable, we need to stay within the dress code guidelines. Please help us and remind your students of the dress code (which can be found in the Student Handbook, located in the Student Commons Canvas page).
Mustang Mornings
Episode 22 of Mustang Mornings can be viewed here!
Morning Tardiness
Recently the number of students who are tardy to school in the morning has escalated. Please remember that we open our doors at 7:45am and the tardy bell rings at 8:15am. Students who are not in their classrooms at 8:15am (unless they ride a bus that arrived late) will be marked tardy by the teacher. When a student accrues too many tardies, they will have to stay after school to do a reflection workshop with Mr. Thousand.
School Lunch Debt Update
Please check your student’s My School Bucks account here. Additionally, if you would like to donate to the school to help offset some of the lunch debt at the end of the year, please visit this page for information.
Student Computers
There has been an uptick in laptops that have an abundance of stickers and aluminum foil pressed onto the cases as well as having their county asset and serial tags ripped off. Please have your student remove any stickers and remind them that the laptops are school property and should be kept in good condition. The county asset stickers should remain in tact in order for the school to keep track of inventory.
PTSO Updates

We will discuss Teacher Appreciation, the 8th grade dance, board member elections, and fundraisers including rising 8th grade ceiling tiles and our fence banners.
