Desserts After Party Fundraiser

There will be deserts and snacks provided after the Winter Concert. We would love some Bakers to help provide some deserts! If you would like to donate baked goods to the Reardan Music Program for our fundraiser after the concert, please email Mr. Taylor at btaylor@reardansd.net. We would love to make this a fundraiser to help raise money for the Reardan Music Boosters.

PLEASE NOTE any allergy information ex: if they contain nuts, gluten free etc.

Did you know we now have 750 students enrolled in our school district, even though we planned for 695 this school year? We have done a great deal of facilities planning over the past couple of years, including a comprehensive community survey last spring. Now, we will be launching a Community Facilities Solutions Committee in December.

You can find the committee members and a complete catalog of our work so far on the Facilities Planning page of our website: https://www.reardan.net/facilities_planning

Cold Weather & Recess Reminder

As the weather gets colder, we want to remind families that students will continue to go outside for recess unless conditions are unsafe. Outdoor recess is an important part of our day, and fresh air and movement benefit students even in cooler temperatures.

Please help your child come to school dressed for the weather with:

• A warm coat or jacket
  
  

• Hats and gloves/mittens
  
  

• Closed-toe shoes (and boots on snowy or wet days)
  
  

If your child has outdoor gear at home, we encourage them to bring it daily. Labeling items with your child’s name can be very helpful.

Thank you for your partnership in helping keep students safe, warm, and comfortable during recess as we enter the colder months. If you have questions or concerns, please don’t hesitate to reach out.
