Please make sure to also mark your calendars for a few upcoming dates of no school for students.

Friday, February 16 (Professional Development and Teacher Work Time)

Our next newsletter will come on Thursday, February 15th due to no school on Friday.

Enjoy the weekend!

Staff Member of the Week!

Congratulations to Mrs. Emily Rynders (third-grade teacher)!

See below for all the wonderful things colleagues have said about her!

Thanks for helping collect the Cogat cards for my absent students when I was gone Friday! I know I can always count on you to help wherever needed!
Thanks for being a great mentor and helping me navigate backwards planning standards
Thank you for taking time out of your busy schedule to help one of my students out! This allowed me to focus on other things I needed to complete. You are so appreciated and are always putting others before yourself!
Emily is so positive! She is also willing to lend a hand wherever it is needed. Every time I need help with something she drops everything she is doing to help.
Thank you for helping out with my sub and getting things ready when I wasn't able to come in!
Thank you for always organizing such fun activities for our students! My class loved their guest readers and it really made their day!

2024-25 Class List Input Optional Meetings with Mrs. Wunderlich

The Reagan staff will begin the process of designing class lists for the 2024-25 school year in March. Historically there have been a significant amount of teacher requests from parents each year, so I thought it would be helpful to reiterate how class lists have been and will continue to be created.

Our main goal is to provide positive experiences for all students! We strive to create balanced classrooms with regard to personalities, abilities, needs, learning styles, peer relations, and gender balance. Staff work to place students in a learning environment that best meets their needs. Each child is considered individually by members of the following teams: Teachers who currently work within the grade level, HAL, Special Education, Speech Language Pathologist, Administration, Interventionists, and the School Counselor.

We recognize that you value your child's education and can offer valuable insight about them. If you would like to have input into your child’s placement for next year, please schedule a 15-minute appointment with me in the month of February. During this meeting, I will ask for you to share input about your child’s learning style, strengths, and areas of needed improvement. This input will be considered when Reagan teams make placement decisions and begin grouping students. Requests for a specific teacher will not be considered as we are in the hiring season, and staffing at each grade level is still being determined.

To make an appointment, please call 402-715-7100, and Mrs. McCauley will assist you with scheduling a meeting. Input will not be considered after March 1st as we begin making placement decisions at that time.

Thank you for your trust and support.

Mrs. Brittany Wunderlich
