Dear Ronald Reagan community,

Thank you for a great week of school!  Here is this week's update:

Spirit Week

This week marks the last week of the marking period and is also Spirit Week. We want students to dress up and participate but please let your students know they cannot wear masks or bring anything to school that looks like a weapon. 

Picture Day Retakes

Our retake day will be on October 29 during the school day.  If you have any questions about retakes, please email Mrs. Saeed at [email protected] 

Yearbook Sales

Use this link to purchase a yearbook. Yearbooks are currently on sale, and the number of books is limited. Once they sell out, that is it; we cannot order additional books!

November Counseling Newsletter 

This month's newsletter includes academic support resources such as after-school tutoring opportunities, technology tips for Canvas and ParentVUE, mental health and wellness resources, important dates and events featured on our November and December calendars, and information about the See Something, Say Something Tip Line. We encourage all students, families, and staff members to take a few minutes to review the newsletter and stay informed about the many supports, resources, and opportunities available to our Reagan Middle School community. Together, we can help ensure every student has the tools they need to succeed academically, socially, and emotionally.

After School Tutoring

Our after-school tutoring program is back this year and better than ever! After-school tutoring runs every Tuesday,  Wednesday, and Thursday from 3:00-4:45pm. Activity busses are available for those in need of transportation. Students must sign up in advance through the Student Commons Canvas page.

Fall Fest

Thank you to our PTSO and all our parents who donated time or food to help make our annual Fall Fest a success!

Touch Base - November 2

We are excited to welcome parents to our Touch Base event on November 2 from 9:00–11:00am. Parents will have an  opportunity to briefly meet with each of their student’s teachers to hear about first quarter successes and areas of growth for the remainder of the year. We welcome you beginning at 9:00 am for coffee and muffins in the front lobby, followed by 5-minute conferences with teachers in the cafeteria, gymnasium, and the auxiliary gym. A handout of teacher locations will be provided for you upon arrival.

 

Front Office Reminders

To report an absence: Please submit any absences on the day of the absence or up to 30 days in advance 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 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

PTSO Information

Businesses: The PTSO is conducting the banner fundraiser again this  year. If you have a business and would like to display a banner during the  next school year, please read this document for more information. You can  download the agreement here. 

Important Points of Interest

• Students will only be allowed to carry water bottles throughout the building. They cannot carry any other drinks  including soda, energy drinks, fast food/Starbucks cups, etc.
• Parents may drop off lunch for students, but students may not receive food deliveries such as DoorDash, UberEats, etc. Parents may only drop off food for their own student, not to feed other students as well.

RRMS Technology Replacement and Insurance

Each student was issued an iPad, case, charging block, and charging cord at the start of the school year. We have received questions regarding students who did not receive a charging block and/or charging cord with their iPad. This occurred because the accessory was not returned at the end of the previous school year. Please remember that all devices and accessories are the property of PWCS and should be treated with care. Replacement iPad accessories are available for students who have lost or damaged their original items. To obtain a replacement accessory, students may:

• Pay through their Student Quick Pay account by selecting the “Replacement iPad Accessories” tile, or
• Bring cash (exact change only) or a check payable to Reagan Middle School to the front office.
  After payment has been made, students must bring proof of payment to the front office to receive their replacement item.

Replacement Accessory Fees

• Charging cord $10.00
• Adapter $10.00
• Charging block $15.00
• iPad case $120.00

Please note: Only school-approved accessories may be used to ensure device compatibility and to maintain a safe environment. If you wish to purchase optional third-party insurance for your student's device and accessories, you can find more information here.

Morning Drop Off Procedures

In order to help alleviate some of the traffic backup we typically experience in the morning, we ask that you follow the instructions below for drop off and use the photo as a reference.

• Please enter the parking lot as directed by security at the intersection and pull forward to fill up all available space along the curb. This enables more cars to enter the parking lot and reduces the car line and amount of time it takes students to enter the building.
• Please do NOT allow students to exit cars until the car has proceeded past the first crosswalk. There are orange
  barriers in place to prevent this. Please follow the direction of staff working to keep everyone safe.
• All car riders, walkers, and bike riders will enter the building at the back of the building (Door 6) and go through the Evolv system. Bus riders will enter through Door 1 and go through Evolv.
• Students may begin entering the building at 7:45am and head to the cafeteria to eat breakfast or wait in the gym. At 8:00am students may leave the cafeteria/gym and proceed to class/lockers.

 

Achieving Excellence Together,
