A Note:

Greetings, Eagle Families!

What a beautiful stretch of weather we've had this week — it's been wonderful seeing students enjoy some extra time outside during recess! We hope you're finding ways to soak up these last warm days as we head into fall.

Today, September 11th, we also pause to remember and reflect what this day means.

Looking ahead, next week will be our first full 5-day week of the school year! We know routines are still settling in, so thank you for your patience and partnership as we all find our rhythm together. Here's to a great week ahead!

Cheers to a new year,

Angela Patterson, principal

Matt Stich, associate principal

Ronald Reagan Parent/Guardian Frequently Asked Questions

Answers about attendance, when should I keep my kid home, background checks, transportation, medication, lunch times and other important things you might need to know!

{NEW} FROM REAGAN

Do You Know How...Attendance Works at Reagan?

Attendance is tracked in minutes, but it shows up on Infinite Campus as a whole day, half day, or full day present. Here's what that means for your family:

The school day = 360 minutes total

Morning session: 8:50 AM – 12:00 PM (190 minutes)
Lunch & Recess: 60 minutes
Afternoon session: 1:00 PM – 3:50 PM (170 minutes)

What You'll See in Infinite Campus

When you check attendance in Infinite Campus, you'll typically see it summarized simply as a half day or whole day absence on the calendar/summary view.

If you want more detail, click on that specific absence — it will expand to show you the actual times your child was marked absent for. This lets you see exactly which part of the day (morning, afternoon, or specific minutes) counted toward the total, rather than just the half/whole day label.

REPEAT FOR REAGAN {BUT STILL IMPORTANT!}

Fall Screening Assessments

This includes:

AIMS assessments (K4-3rd)
Fastbridge in Literacy (2nd-6th)
Fastbridge in Math (K4-6th)
MySaebrs (Social Emotional Screener for 4th-6th)

An email was sent to all families this week, providing an opportunity to opt out of the social emotional screener, if you are interested

These screeners provide important beginning of the year data that our staff use to plan for small groups, whole class lesson, as well as interventions for our students that may struggle. They are spread out over multiple blocks of time, especially for our younger students, as those assessments are administered one on one.

In addition, we are required to assess our youngest students (K4-3) for the State of Wisconsin under ACT 20 legislation. The AIMS assessments are those connected to the state.

If you have questions about your student's schedule/assessments, please reach out to their homeroom teacher!

Picture Makeup & Retake Day - September 28th

If you missed one of our August Photo Days or you would like a retake for your student's school photo, please fill out this form: RR Picture Makeup and Retakes We will only know if your student needs a retake if you fill out the form.

Photos will be taken in the morning of September 28th and students will be pulled from their classrooms by our volunteers. Ordering information will be given out at the time of pictures.

If a picture was already taken, but a retake is needed, please return the original picture package to the photographer at the time of pictures. The same package will be ordered with the new image. New packages will not be received unless the original package is returned.

Please contact Customer Service with any questions 262-780-2901 or customerservice@schoolandsportpics.com

Behavior Matrix

Mrs. Patterson & Mr. Stich "Roadshow"

As we start this new school year, Mrs. Patterson and Mr. Stich meet with every grade level to discuss overall building expectations. We call this our "Roadshow" During our presentation this year, we shared:

What our "Eagle Targets" are and what they mean in various parts of the building
Volume levels in different areas of school
General expectations in the lunch room, recess rules, bathroom rules, hallway walking, etc.
Positive reward opportunities ("Eagle Feathers")
We introduce new staff (with photos)
We share other helper adults in the building (Mrs. Snoeyenbos, our school social worker; Mrs. Baker, our school psychologist) by sharing their photos and roles
We also introduced our security staff by sharing that they, too, are helper adults in the building. Their roles are to help students and staff with safety needs, help with fire drills, get to know students, and be overall extra helpers in our school.
Students were also allowed to ask follow up questions.

Please see the choir info & schedule if you have a 4th-6th grader interested in our Reagan choir. It's a fun way to learn about music, performing, and working with classmates! Please consider joining us!
