Reagan Insider
March 22, 2024
Principal Message
Ray Community,
I hope you all had a wonderful spring break and a great first week back at school. This week we were able to get into classes and see all of our students' smiling faces. I had a great time today speaking with parents and community members on our focus group zoom meetings. These meetings were focused conversations around increasing parent involvement on our campus. As we consolidate the feedback received, we look forward to bringing our next steps to our community.
On Wednesday of next week, we will be sending a special edition insider regarding the April 8th Solar Eclipse. Please be on the lookout for this information.
As we enter next school year please let us know if your child is planning on coming back to Reagan by filling out the verification form below. We have also opened the window for parent input on student placement for the next school year. This window will be open until April 28th at 5pm. This will ensure us enough time to review class placements.
Wishing you all a restful weekend,
Alison Pennington
Principal
