Ray Community,
We had the best experience with our staff and students on Monday during the eclipse. It was such a joy to see all the students experience this event. The most memorable part, for me, was the cheering when totallity occured.
Student experiences, such as the eclipse, are what we aim to create for our learners at Reagan. I would like to invite any parent interested in providing feedback on our student experiences to join our sitebased meeting on Tuesday April 16th at 4 pm in our library.
We are wishing everyone a relaxing weekend,
Alison Pennington
