The Eagle Express

Greetings, Eagle Families,

What a DAY! We had to pivot but Rock'n Reagan Day is always an awesome day with our entire school family. There's a good chance your kiddos will be ready for bed early tonight. Photos from the day's adventures will be shared next week!

Next week is our last week of school. Monday morning, all seniors from NBW & Ike will parade the halls of our school in their caps and gowns, cheered on by our Reagan kiddos.

And don't forget Friday is a 12:15pm dismissal (buses will leave school at that time). At 11:55am, we will line the halls as our 6th graders take their final walk through Reagan until 2032 when they stroll as seniors. Sign up here:6th Grade Parade visitor sign up {closes June 8th)

Cheers to finishing strong,

Angela Patterson, principal

Matt Stich, associate principal

• TURN IN ALL LIBRARY BOOKS. They are due!! Everything needs to come back. Classes that have all books returned will have their names on the news.

• 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.

• LOST & FOUND. Any items not recovered by the last day of school will be donated on Saturday, the 13th. Please remind your kiddos to check the tables in the cafeteria.

4th Grade Students

All district-issued iPads assigned to 4th grade students will be collected during the final two weeks of school. Students must return their iPad in its original case, along with the original charging cable and charging cube, in working condition. Devices should be free of stickers, skins, or markings, except for the district-issued asset tag.

Students currently in 4th grade who are not attending Summer School will receive their district-issued Chromebook shortly after the start of the 2026–27 school year. If devices become available prior to the start of the school year, families may also have the opportunity to pick up their student’s Chromebook during the summer by scheduling an appointment through an online booking calendar. Additional pickup opportunities may also be available during scheduled school photo days. More information will be shared with families if summer pickup becomes available.

Students attending Summer School will receive a device on the first day of the program and will return it on the last day of the program.

Kindergarten Students

Current kindergarten students entering 1st grade will have their district-assigned device available in their classroom for use in the fall of the 2026–27 school year. Students attending Summer School will have access to a device for the duration of the program.

1st-3rd and 5th-6th Grade Students

iPads and Chromebooks will NOT be collected from students in 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 5th, and 6th grade.

Students Not Returning for the 26/27 School Year

Students who will not be returning next school year must return their district-issued iPad or Chromebook, along with the original charging cable and charging brick, to their school’s main office by June 12, 2026. Returns after this date must be scheduled through the TechKNOW Student Helpdesk at New Berlin West. To make an appointment, please email TechKNOW at TechKNOW@nbexcellence.org.

Non-returned / Intentional damage

Starting Monday, June 15, all returned devices will be inspected, cleaned, and prepared for reuse. Please note the following:

• Missing or intentionally damaged items (iPads, original cases, charging cables, or charging cubes) will result in a charge to the student’s family account.

• Families will be notified via email if any charges are applied.

• iPads returned with stickers, skins, or other markings (excluding the district-applied asset tag) will incur a replacement case charge.

• Missing accessories will not be accepted after June 30, 2026—charges will be assessed for any unreturned items after that date.

• Cases with a broken stand will not result in a replacement charge.
