Character education can have a greater impact on students when they are hearing familiar character traits throughout their K-12 education.   Please watch the Reagan Review for information you can share with your children about the traits we are focusing on each month.

BROWNSBURG SCHOOLS CHARACTER TRAITS
 
August
 
Respect : Showing kindness and courtesy towards others
 
September/October                            
 
Responsibility: Being accountable for what you say and do
November/December
Compassion: Being kind to others
 
January
 
Integrity: Doing what you are supposed to do even when no one is looking
 
February
 
Perseverance means to never give up. Keep working hard.
March/April
 
Acceptance: Recognizing and showing appreciation for our differences
May
 
Citizenship: Choosing to act in ways that benefit everyone 

The character trait for the month of August is Respect. Studentswill be involved in classroom lessons to learn effective, respectful ways to deal with conflict with others using a program called "Kelso's Choice".
Our goal is to teach students several positive ways to deal with these difficult situations. Students will be taught that if they have a big problem they are to get help from a grown-up right away.
The wheel of choices below is what children are encouraged to use. Please talk with your children about the choices they have to work out conflicts and discuss different situations where they can choose the various options.

What is a Room Parent at Reagan?
Room parents plan our two class parties of the year - one in September and one in January.  Anyone who wishes to participate is welcome and we have a "room parent team" for each classroom to allow the teacher to focus on instruction.  
 
If you are interested in being a room parent for your child's teacher, please attend our meeting on Tuesday, August 9 at 6:30 pm or email ReaganPSG@yahoo.com with your contact information, and child's teacher. 
 
If you wish to volunteer in the classroom, contact the teacher directly. 
 
PSG Meeting - Tuesday, August 9 at 6:30 pm in the cafeteria.  This will be followed immediately by the Room Parent meeting. See you there!

Box Tops 
Did you collect Box Tops over the summer?  Gear up for another
successful year with this program.  We raised almost $7000 last school year by collecting little labels.  We appreciate everyone's help.

Marsh Fresh Idea Card
For those of you who shop at Marsh and have a Fresh Idea card, if you enroll your card to the Fresh Ideas For Education we get points for Reagan which allows us to order supplies for the school. This year they are asking everyone to re-enroll their cards because they are updating their system. Our school code is 43191 when you go to enroll or re-enroll your card you will need this number.
