Reagan Middle School

Congratulations to the following RMS & DHS musicians that prepared a rigorous audition to perform with hundreds of other Northwest Illinois musicians in November!

Attention DPS Families! The DHS Fall Choir Concert is tomorrow night! This also features RMS 7th and 8th graders! Please see the attached graphic, made by Conner Little and Tri-M, for more information! #BePurple

Dear RMS Families,

This Veterans Day, our eighth-grade students will hear from guest speakers about military service and the experiences of veterans. Students will also assemble care bags for veterans living in local assisted living communities.

We hope these activities give students a chance to listen, learn, and express gratitude in a personal way. A care bag and a handwritten note can remind a veteran that their service and story matter.

If your family would like to help, we welcome donations of new, unused items:


Hygiene: Toothbrushes, toothpaste, mouthwash, deodorant, shampoo, soap, lip balm, lotions


Clothing: New socks/fuzzy socks


Everyday comforts: Small blankets and individually packaged snacks and candy (gum), flavored drink packets


Participation is completely optional. Every student will take part in the learning and service activities, whether or not their family donates.

Please send donations to school by November 3rd. Thank you for helping our students show care and appreciation to veterans in our community.

Sincerely,
Mrs. Kitzman

REAGAN/MADISON ARRIVAL & DISMISSAL PROCEDURES

Entering Campus: All vehicles entering the campus drive should enter at Division Street and Fargo Street and proceed south along the east side of the building.

Madison Drop-Off/Pick-Up: Madison families may use the blue diagonal pull-off area near the playground for a quick five-minute drop-off or pick-up. After leaving this area, vehicles should continue through the South Lot/Staff Parking Lot, follow the drive around the west side of campus, and continue north toward Division Street and Elm Street to exit.

Madison South Lot Parking: Families who need additional time or do not use the blue pull-off area may park briefly in the South Lot and walk their student to or from the Madison playground area.

Bus Area & Traffic Flow: Please remember that buses have a designated buffer zone on each side while stopped for loading and unloading. Parent vehicles should remain outside of this area and may use the two lanes to the left of the buses to continue through the drive. Please do not stop, park, or drop off students alongside the buses. Once loading or unloading is complete, buses will merge into the inside lane to proceed down the west side of campus and exit at Division Street.

Reagan Drop-Off: Reagan students may be dropped off in the designated area along Division Street and use the sidewalk to safely enter through Door 8.

Reagan West Lot Option: Parents traveling through the campus drive should not stop on the hill to drop off students, as this blocks traffic behind you. Instead, pull into the West Lot, park briefly, and have your student use the crosswalk near the bike rack to safely enter through Door 8.

Washington DC Trip - Any 8th grade student who is interested in the Washington, DC trip, but were unable to attend the meeting should stop by Ms. Becker's classroom and pick up an informational packet. Registration is open until October 16th. Don't miss out!
