If you have shopped this website before, you will notice new designs and options, and right now you can get up to 35% off sitewide through September 14th.

Reagan has a YoYo Berri night planned for Wednesday, August 19th. Be sure to mention that you are there to support Reagan, and they will donate 25% of the sales back to the building.
The building will practice each of these safety drills on the afternoon of Friday, August 14.
We will meet four times this year on the following Tuesdays in the Reagan Library:
Click here to join our team! Responses will be collected through Wednesday, September 2.
We have three student clubs starting in September. See the flyers below and fill out the Google Forms if you are interested. Mr. Palmquist is the sponsor of each of these clubs and can answer any questions you might have at adpalmquist@mpsomaha.org.
Similar to previous years, we will have a virtual Curriculum Night. This is an excellent opportunity to engage in your child's education and receive critical information that will benefit your child's learning throughout the school year. Teachers will provide information on the curriculum, expectations, goals for the school year, classroom schedule, grading policies, and more!
You can expect this information via email on Wednesday, August 26th.
If you have any questions after reviewing the information, please contact your classroom teacher.
Reporting your child's absence has never been easier! All you need to do is submit an absence on ParentVUE. Review the following document to ensure you are all set for the new school year.
School attendance is incredibly important, but we know that children get sick and family emergencies arise. You will receive an email confirmation after the attendance office has reviewed and accepted your request.

Be sure to include your child's name and "Lunch Money" in the memo of your check.
Lunch Visitors:
We are excited to have parents/guardians join us for lunch this school year after Labor Day!
Thank you in advance for your cooperation on this so that we can allow students to practice lunch routines with their classmates at the beginning of the year.
Student Directory
The PTO compiles a student directory for families interested in scheduling playdates, birthday parties, and similar activities outside the school day. If you would like your child's information added, you must fill out the link here or scan and complete the form using the QR code. The school team is not able to share any personal information with others.
Eagle's Nest Volunteers - Semester 1
We are looking for volunteers to help students shop biweekly at our Eagle's Nest. If you are free, please sign up using the link here.
This information is also housed on our Reagan community website.
We love having visitors and partnering with parents, grandparents, and community volunteers! Please refer to the following district policies as a refresher for the new school year.
Visiting Reagan or Picking Up Early
We put student and staff safety first. We will always follow district policy 5740.1.
Buzz the Front Office for Entry.
Share your First and Last Name and the reason for your visit.
Show your ID to our office staff for verification and to receive your visitor's badge.
Volunteers
We will follow district policy for screening procedures for volunteers in the classroom. This policy applies to all persons who are not district employees, current students, parents, or grandparents of current students.
Please see the traffic flow images below. We all can help support successful arrival and dismissal by following this traffic flow.
Safety is always the most important- it's our #1 rule! We take special care during peak times in the morning and afternoon to ensure everyone's safety. The first few days back at school are always a little more hectic. We will have a lot of staff members outside to assist with traffic flow and supervision. We appreciate your patience, cooperation, and respect in advance. Please follow the listed safety guidelines whenever children are dropped off or picked up at school.
Observe all posted signage related to traffic.
Always remain in your car when dropping off/picking up your child(ren) along the curbs. Staff members will be available to assist your children in exiting or entering a vehicle if needed.
Children should exit/enter cars only through the curbside door.
Please observe arrival and dismissal times.
Having your child at school on time is important, as classes start promptly at 8:30.
Dismissal time is also essential as staff members have additional responsibilities at the end of each school day. Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday dismissal is at 3:30, and Wednesdays, we dismiss at 2:30.
Picture day: Thursday, September 3rd. All orders for pictures will be placed online.
If you order by MIDNIGHT OF PICTURE DAY using the SCHOOL KEY, your order will be delivered to the school for free approximately 2 weeks after picture day.
Want to see your picture before ordering? No problem! Your student will receive an INDIVIDUAL KEY 2 weeks after picture day, which allows you to view your picture and order. Please note that these orders must be mailed home, so a shipping fee will apply.
