From the Principal:

As we wrap up another week, I want to share two important safety updates to ensure our students remain secure and supported throughout the day.

After-School Supervision- Dismissal takes place at 2:45 PM. Please remember that all students must be directly supervised by an adult between the end of the school day and the start of any evening youth sports or extracurricular events.

School Sporting Events- Students staying to watch school sporting events are expected to follow all school expectations. Students who misbehave or cause disruptions on campus will lose the privilege of attending events without a parent or guardian.

Bus Safety Expectations- Maintaining a safe environment on our school buses requires a shared commitment between home and school. We ask every family to review bus safety rules and consequences with their children this week.

Safe, respectful behavior while riding and waiting for the bus is required at all times.
To protect all passengers and drivers, students who fail to follow bus safety expectations will lose their bus riding privileges.

Thank you for your ongoing partnership and support in keeping our school community safe.

Counselor’s Corner: Building a Strong Start

September is a great time to build and strengthen routines at home and at school. Children often feel more confident and ready to learn when they know what to expect. Consistent routines around morning preparation, getting ready for school, homework, play, and bedtime can help children feel organized and reduce some of the stress that comes with transitions. Even small routines, such as packing a backpack the night before or having a consistent morning checklist, can make a big difference.

Transitions can also take some practice! As children adjust to new schedules, classrooms, expectations, and activities, they may need extra reminders, patience, and encouragement. Families can support school success by celebrating effort, helping children problem-solve when something doesn't go as planned, and reminding them that learning new routines takes time. A strong start doesn't mean everything goes perfectly—it means we keep practicing, growing, and supporting one another.

Here's to a start of the year filled with connection, confidence, and learning!

What a great week at Reardan! We are so proud of the learning, engagement, and creativity happening in our classrooms. Our students and staff continue to make Reardan a place where students are known, loved, and learning!

Learning Highlights from This Week

There is so much great learning happening across our classrooms! Just to name a few:

Pacific Northwest History: Students interviewed past explorers and explored history through their perspectives and experiences, using the assistance of AI.

Math: Students participated in Aimsweb testing to help us better understand their current skills and learning needs.

Biology: Students dove into a DNA exploration, learning more about the building blocks of life.

Chemistry: Students worked with chemical equations, applying their understanding of chemical reactions.

Middle School Science: Students explored the use of force and how forces impact the world around them.

English: Students extended their novel studies into project applications, taking what they learned from their reading and applying it in meaningful ways.

Foods: Students explored recipes and ingredient substitutions, combining creativity, problem-solving, and practical skills.

And that is just a small glimpse of the amazing learning taking place at Reardan! We are incredibly proud of our students and the work our teachers are doing every day.

SPECIAL NOTE: LOST & FOUND

Our Lost and Found has grown quite a bit since the beginning of the school year! Please have your student take a few minutes to check the Lost and Found for any jackets, sweatshirts, water bottles, lunch containers, or other items they may be missing.

Classes this week got messy! 5-6 graders talked about soil, made mud pies and talked about water filtration. It's always fun when you can get dirty!!! Our 7th and 8th graders are learning how to cook and make pumpkin pancakes with maple butter and chicken sandwiches that were oh... so... yummy! Learning how to bake and cook is such an essential life skill! Our K-1 class explored the world of construction - hats and all! The 2-4 graders learned about honesty and integrity and are working hard to demonstrate these skills!

Nutrition Services

We’re staying busy in Nutrition Services and continuing to settle into a good rhythm! This week we served a homestyle chicken dinner with a breaded chicken drumstick, mashed potatoes with chicken gravy, a dinner roll, and of course, vegetables and fruit. One student summed it up perfectly: “Good as heck!” We’ll take that as a win!

Our salad bar has also been looking pretty good lately! We love being able to offer students a variety of fresh fruits and vegetables to choose from with their meals.

We’ve also been adding a little more scratch cooking to our kitchen. So far this month we have introduced our own homemade ranch mix, fajita seasoning, and taco seasoning, along with scratch-made Alfredo sauce. It’s been fun trying new recipes and hearing so much positive feedback.

The October menu is ready to view, and we’re looking forward to heading into a new month!

Security Update

We want to remind parents and students about an important and growing danger: never take prescription medication that was not prescribed to you, never borrow medication from a friend or family member, and never take a pill that did not come directly from a legitimate pharmacy.

A pill can look exactly like a prescription medication and still contain something completely different.

A newer synthetic opioid called cychlorphine has been increasingly identified in the illicit drug supply and has been found in counterfeit pills made to look like prescription medications, including pills made to resemble oxycodone and other commonly prescribed medications.

Cychlorphine is an extremely potent synthetic opioid. Current research indicates that it can produce profound respiratory depression at very small doses, and recent medical reports have documented opioid overdose following exposure.

Counterfeit pills can contain fentanyl, cychlorphine, or other unexpected substances without the person taking the pill knowing it. The CDC specifically recommends only taking pills that are prescribed to you and warns that illegally obtained pills may contain highly potent drugs.

Parents, please have this conversation with your kids. A simple conversation about the dangers of taking someone else's medication could save a life.

And remember: One pill is not worth the risk.
