It is that time of year again when we are looking ahead to the 2026-2027 school year.

Are you moving? We'd love to hear from you! If you are planning on moving or attending a different elementary school for the 2026-2027 school year, please contact Shelley Sukenik in our main office at 262-789-6550 or shelley.sukenik@nbexcellence.org. Please also complete this withdrawal form (link).

SUNSCREEN AND BUG SPRAY

This form must be completed if you want your student to have sunscreen or bug spray at school. Sunscreen and bug spray must be applied by an adult at school and kept by staff. It cannot be carried or applied by students.

Rock'n Reagan Day (June 5th) Please put sunscreen on your students before school!

MEDICATION PICK UP

All health room medications (prescription and over-the-counter) must be picked up in the office by a parent or designated adult by the last day of school. Medication not picked up will be disposed of - it is not held over the summer. If your student will be attending summer school at Reagan this summer, please contact the office.

DISTRICT MEDICAL FORMS

Check out this link for medical forms, health care forms and fact sheets. If your student has a food allergy, make sure you have an Eating & Feeding Form filled out so the kitchen is aware of your student's allergies.

Ronald Reagan Elementary is hosting a Career Day, and we are looking for interested speakers who would like to take part in this fun learning opportunity. This year, grades 3rd-6th will be participating. Our speakers will present to one grade level only, so they do not have to adapt their material or content to be relevant for more than one age group.

If you're not available, no worries at all. Please feel free to share with anyone you might have in mind instead!

Please reach out to Matt Stich at matthew.stich@nbexcellence.org with any questions about this.

The Home and School Association (HSA) at Ronald Reagan is a collection of Moms, Dads, Grandparents, Teachers and Staff Members working together to make our school a better place. Our mission is to build a strong community at the school and to support students and teachers in their academic efforts. Our HSA funds, organizes and hosts many of the programs and functions held for Ronald Reagan Elementary students. Our general monthly meetings are open to all wishing to attend and membership is free. All Reagan families are HSA members.

Dear School District of New Berlin families,

We are inviting you to take our 2025-26 Parent/Guardian Satisfaction Survey. Your feedback is important to us as it allows us to recognize our strengths and opportunities to improve as a district. If you have more than one child in the SDNB, and your responses may vary based on child, please consider taking the survey for each child.

Responses are anonymous, and the survey should only take approximately 5-10 minutes to complete. We are asking for your response by May 29.

Here is the link: SDNB 2025-26 Parent Survey

Thank you for your time and for choosing to enroll your child(ren) in the School District of New Berlin.

Sincerely,

Joe Garza, Superintendent

I will try to include an inspirational read or video in each newsletter. If you have one you would like to share, please let me know!
