Autism Awarenes and Acceptance Month
April is Autism Awareness and Acceptance Month. We are so fortunate to have an excellent Autism department in our school that works hard every day to take care of, and celebrate, our students. This month, we will share the following quote with our students, "Awareness means you know I am here; Acceptance means you are HAPPY to see me.”
Unified Track Meet

Thank you to our special education department for hosting and planning the event and our student volunteers who served as ambassadors to students from other schools.

Watchdog Program
Beginning next week, we are starting up our Watchdog program again! This program helps provide positive male role models for the students in our school and encourages students to always do their best. If you'd like to volunteer to spend a few hours at Reagan helping out in the hallways and cafeteria, please sign up here. Questions? Please reach out to our parent liaison, Mrs. Klein.
Front Office Reminders
To report an absence: Please submit any absences on the day of the absence or up to 30 days in the future using the Report Absence button in ParentVUE. If the absence has already passed, please email our attendance mailbox at [email protected]. Please include your student's full name, the date(s) of the absence, and the reason for the absence. We cannot accept attendance over the phone.
For late arrivals: You do not need to come into the building when dropping off your student. We will have them sign in and then we will update their attendance and send them to class with a pass.
For early dismissal: You must come into the building to pick up your student. Please have a picture ID available and check your student out using our iPads. We CANNOT check students out between 2:30 PM and our regular dismissal time at 3:00 PM. Please plan to be here no later than 2:30 PM.
To drop off items/lunches at school: Please let your student know that the item has been dropped off by sending them an email. They do not have phone access during the day, but they can check email. The front office cannot always notify students that they have items or lunches in the front office in a timely manner.
