· Parent Surveys
Parents: Reagan needs your help to improve our school by completing a short parent survey. This year our school is undergoing a standard 5 year review to renew our school accreditation through the Advanced Ed organization. This accreditation process is an important way that colleges and other groups evaluate the quality of our school. This anonymous survey is available on the Reagan Headlines page of our website under the title “Parent Survey”. The survey results are used to help improve Reagan.
· ATTENTION SENIORS--Please take pictures of you and your friends together at school events throughout the school year. Please email them to so we can display them at the prom.
· Seniors! We have a few announcements from Student Services to get you started on your post-graduation planning:
Many of you are starting your college applications and have questions about the process (how to get transcripts, recommendations, etc....). We will be having a meeting in mid-September for all seniors and their parents to go over the all of the "how-to" instructions related to applying to college, including:
- how to send transcripts to colleges
- how to find out if recommendation letters are needed and how to request them
- how to send your SAT/ACT scores to colleges
- how to search for scholarship opportunities
etc......
We are confident that this meeting will be informative and will answer many, if not all, of your college application questions. We purposefully schedule this meeting early in the year in order to meet the earliest application deadlines (usually starting around October 31). If you still have questions after the meeting, please feel free to contact your counselor.
We will be emailing you a link to a "Senior Handbook" which will outline some detailed instructions that will help you get started on your post-graduation planning prior to our September meeting! Have a fantastic 12th grade year!
