🏈 Special Guest Readers 🪅
As part of Strategy 1 of our school site plan, Reagan students had some special guests come and read to them this week!
On Wednesday, Millard West football players visited K-2 classrooms.
Later today, members from the Scarlets at UNL will be coming to read to each grade level. Check out social media to see the Scarlets and our Eagles!
❄️ Wintery Conditions Are Almost Here - Reagan Recess Guidelines ❄️
Grade-level teachers and the office staff will determine whether students will go out for recess based on precipitation, wind chill, and temperature. We will plan for outside recess if the temperature or wind chill (“feels like”) is above 0 using weather.com at the time of the recess. This might mean that a grade level that has a recess at 10 AM may stay inside due to wind chill, and then it might warm up in the afternoon to allow for other grade levels to go outside. We will always go outside unless it is actively snowing and the area cannot be cleared in time for a safe recess.
☃️ ☃️ ☃️ ☃️
Please dress students appropriately for the weather each day so they can fully participate. Classroom teachers will be communicating today what students in your child's grade level will be permitted to bring for outside winter play. There are many factors that go into this decision, such as length of recess, students' level of independence getting dressed/undressed, schedule for what is happening before/after recess, etc. Please make sure to take note of your child's grade level decision through their weekly communication/newsletter. Thank you for your partnership and cooperation in advance.
Fall Parties and Parade
Tuesday, October 31
Reagan will host a school parade on Tuesday, October 31st, beginning at 2:15 p.m.
ALL parents and guardians are invited to view the parade from the exterior front entrance area and blacktop or the gyms if there is inclement weather! The parade will begin at 2:15 p.m. and travel in an outdoor pre-planned route on the blacktop area in the southwest corner of the school.
Parent volunteers will host a party for students in their classrooms immediately following the parade. Only designated adults assisting with the party activities will be permitted in the classrooms. Volunteers must be pre-registered with the office via the Sign Up Genius to attend the party and will be able to start checking in at the office at 1:45.
Costume Must-Knows:
Children are not to wear costumes to school; they may change independently before the start of the parade.
Consider forgoing costume accessories that can be easily lost or forgotten at school. We would hate for your child to forget to bring something back home and be unable to wear it later that evening.
Costumes must not be offensive to others; the audience is 5-12-year-olds.
No weapons or weapon look-a-likes will be allowed.
No spraying of hair or makeup is to be applied at school.
Students are not required to wear costumes.
In addition, students may be excused from the celebration, and parents may check out the student from the office at 2:10 p.m. if they wish.
Thank you for your attention to these procedures to make our Fall Celebration a success! Please contact Julie Milks at julieamilks@gmail.com with any questions.
