News from the President...

After another long, hot summer, it’s time for the excitement of a new school year! Whether you are sending a student off to kindergarten, middle school, high school or college, August is an exciting time of the year. The school shopping, the preseason practices and the new-school jitters bring back memories for us parents and create fond memories for our children.

Now that you have stocked the backpacks, survived two-a-day practices and started your school-night routines, I hope you can all make time to get involved in some of the many, many activities going on at Reagan! From Rattler Round Up to Project Graduation, there are hundreds of events that you can attend, either as a spectator, a participant or as a volunteer. I encourage all of you to get involved in Reagan High School. Show your children that their school is important to you. Meet the faculty and the administrators – they are awesome! Learn your way around our campus and see all the great resources that are available to our children. Get to know other Reagan students and parents. Get involved and be a part of the success of the Reagan community!

After 17 school years and seven different schools, I believe the best way to get involved is through volunteering. Whether it’s baking a pie for the faculty, hosting a pregame team dinner, or chairing the Project Graduation committee, there are volunteer opportunities for everyone at Reagan. Every sport, every club and every organization, including PTA, relies on parent volunteers to achieve their goals. I encourage each of you to find your niche. Look for the Partners in Education (PIE) Form in the Welcome Packets. Whether you are new to NEISD, or a returning NEISD volunteer, please follow the instructions on the PIE Form to complete a criminal history record check, as required by NEISD. To receive information on volunteer opportunities that fit your interests and your schedule, please complete the PIE Form and return it with the Welcome Packets.

As I begin another year as PTA President, I would like to thank all of the new and returning parents who have already become involved by volunteering for the PTA Board. I am looking forward to working with all of these dedicated parents and hope to work with many more of you throughout the year!




Go Rattlers!

Beth Cholerton, RRHS PTA President
