Principal Message
Ray Community,
I would like to thank everyone in our community for the service you provide to our campus. Whether you serve by donating your time, talent, or through the act of giving monetarily to the PTA, it doesn't go unnoticed. We love having our community on campus in all capacities to help our students grow. We are entering the time of year when it can often feel that everything is hectic or chaotic and I wanted to just stop for a minute and say Thank You. We love our community and we are so lucky to serve each of our families every day.
We would like to thank all the families who will be donating to our Soup for the Souls staff luncheon next week. This special event is provided by the PTA. They are looking for homemade soups and/or people who may donate their gift of time to our campus on Thursday November 16. I have included the sign-up link below for anyone interested.
Next week is Thanksgiving lunch. We are prepping to welcome parents to campus on Tuesday. We ask that you be patient with us as we navigate seven lunches where families will be entering and exiting the building. Please arrive early for parking as our lots are typically full on these days. If you have pre-registered, your badge is ready for pick up from 8am until 2 pm on Monday. If you are unable to come Monday we will have a fast pass lane on Tuesday for you. This is a friendly reminder: if you registered early but have not had your badge scanned prior to Tuesday you will have to stand in our Raptor line. Also, if you have a passport, Raptor does not store this information so you will need to stand in our Raptor line. You are welcome to come in Monday and we can pre-screen you if you are in either of those categories.
We hope you all have a wonderful weekend,
Alison Pennington
Principal

Thanksgiving Lunch November 14, 2023
Reagan is excited to welcome all families for Thanksgiving Lunch!
Families are invited to come and share lunch with their Rays on Tuesday November 14, 2023
RSVP's help us organize for large campus events during the school day and help check in lots of people quickly and safely. Leander ISD Safety Guidelines require Raptor Safe Check in for all visitors.
Please RSVP for each family member attending. All visitors must bring their license to check in. If their license is already scanned into the system, then we will pre-print their visitor badge and they can move through the Fast Pass Lane. Family members are welcome to come to the front office during business hours, starting October 23, 2023 to scan in their licenses to help expedite the check-in process the day of Thanksgiving Lunch.
If you do not have your license pre-scanned into the system you will have to wait in the line to have your license scanned into the system. PLEASE DO NOT FORGET YOUR LICENSE!
PLEASE complete 1 RSVP Per Person Visiting
Please note: Recess is closed to visitors. Once you check in, you can leave and return with the same visitor badge for this school day only.
