“Come Sail Away” on a great adventure!  Welcome to Ronald Reagan where everyday will be a new and exciting adventure.  The staff and I have planned a year full of wonder, amazement, adventure and thrills for the students of Reagan. This year we are excited to be adding Social Studies, Science, Computers and Art to our day for all students Kindergarten through Sixth Grade. While Reagan embodies a legacy of excellence by placing an emphasis on the learning of the traditional “back-to-basics”, Reading, Writing and Math, these skills will continue to be emphasized throughout all content areas including Music and Physical Education.  Ronald Reagan will provide a rigorous academic program and strive to develop individual responsibility and independence in each student. 

 

To help students develop the skills necessary to be responsible and independent learners Reagan has incorporated a discipline process known as Positive Behavior Interventions and Support (PBIS).  Please see article on this website for further details.

 

There is a firm requirement that students complete all class work and homework.  This includes make-up work when a student is absent.  Every mistake is looked upon as a learning opportunity to build knowledge and skills, while working towards the mastery of the state standards. The people at Ronald Reagan also make the school something special; our students, parents, teachers and staff. Parents agree to support Reagan’s goals and philosophies while upholding student and parent expectations.  Staff members agree to provide rigorous academic instruction that is attainable yet challenging to each student, regardless of his or her academic level. The result of these ideals is an atmosphere of support and commitment. 

 

I believe Ronald Reagan is a very special place, holding true to traditions of high expectations and excellence while providing an environment in which all students feel safe, cared for, and valued.  As parents, you play a vital role in our “Patriot” dream:  that all students can and will achieve the standards.  Welcome to the Patriot adventure! Ronald Reagan, where Learners Today Make Leaders Tomorrow!

Positive Behavior Interventions and Support (PBIS). PBIS is a management system established to address the behavioral and discipline systems needed for successful learning and social development of students. Specific behaviors (rules) are taught in each school environment consistently by all staff. The expectations are clear and consistent throughout the entire school. We expect all students to be safe, be respectful, and be responsible. We have taught each child what the expectations are and the entire staff models those expectations consistently. Being a “Patriot” includes taking individual responsibility for one’s own learning, including coming to school prepared and ready to learn both collaboratively and independently.
