REGAL WEEKLY

April 21 - April 25

Dear Regina families, 

As we continue to work together to ensure the safety and efficiency of our daily car line, we’d like to send out a few friendly reminders to help the process run smoothly for everyone.

1. You may NOT park in NO PARKING ZONES. This includes: grass, curbs, school vehicle parking zones. 
2. The city has mandated a fire lane to be open and clear twenty-four hours a day, both sides of the fire lanes. This lane is marked with signs in the front and the back circle. These areas may not be used for parking at ANY TIME. 

CAR RIDERS INSTRUCTIONS: Car line is after school “pick up” for students riding in a vehicle. Follow the driveway around the high school parking lot. Please have a sign with your last name big enough to read from a distance and display it in the right-hand corner of the dashboard. This sign aids teachers in identifying cars with students. Your child will stand on the curb until his/her name is called. 

WALKERS INSTRUCTIONS: If your student is walking home, the child will enter the walkers’ line. Teachers will walk students to the crossing guard standing at Rochester Avenue. Walkers may meet a sibling from the high school in the lobby outside the art rooms. 

MEETING STUDENTS: If you are parked in the front lot to meet your child, have them enter the walker line. Meet them as they walk by in the line at the bike racks. (Do not wave your children over to meet you in the lot. Meet them by the bike racks and continue onto your car.)

REMINDER: Traffic flow is one way - please follow the signs marked “One-Way” to exit the parking lot. 

We appreciate your cooperation in helping to make our car line as efficient and safe as possible.

Regina Yearbook

We’re reaching out from the Regina Yearbook Team to invite you to become a sponsor for this year’s yearbook—a project that celebrates the spirit, growth, and memories of our student body.

Last year, we gave the Regina Yearbook a total refresh—and the response was incredible! We added over 40 pages, increased sales by more than 100 books, and were awarded a Gold Level Distinction for featuring over 93% of our students at least three times in the book. It was our most inclusive and impactful edition yet.

With this growth comes higher production costs. We’re committed to keeping the yearbook affordable for all students, and that’s where your sponsorship can make a real difference. Your support helps offset these costs and ensures that every student has access to a high-quality, meaningful keepsake.

We’d love to have your business featured as one of our valued sponsors. Sponsorship levels and benefits are outlined in the attached graphic. If your donation includes a business shout-out, we’ll feature your name on our Instagram page: @reginayearbook.

Dear Class of 2026 Parents and Other Interested Parties,

We hope this message finds you well. We are thrilled to begin planning the Junior Class Post Prom party with the theme GAME NIGHT to take place in the Regina High School Gymnasium and Events Center immediately following Prom on April 26th! To make this event a success, we need your support and contributions.

How You Can Help:

1. Door Prizes: We are seeking donations for door prizes or monetary contributions to purchase door prizes. Any amount is greatly appreciated.
2. Games: We are looking for portable video games (Pac Man, Can Jam, Golden Tee, etc.) that can be easily transported, as well as board games and card tables/card games. 
3. Family Contributions: Families who would like to help support this safe and fun option for students are invited to donate. A suggested amount is $60 per family, which helps cover event expenses. Extra funds will go toward the senior trip. Cash or a check (made payable to Regina) can be dropped off in the high school office.
4. Food Donations: There are opportunities to sign up to contribute or secure food donations for the event.

Please use the following link to sign up for door prize contributions and food donations: Post Prom Sign Up Genius

Please reply to Heather Erwin (heather-erwin@uiowa.edu or 319-621-5738) if you have games to loan for the day.

We will send another sign-up soon for help setting-up and volunteering on the day of the event.

Please contact Heather Erwin (heather-erwin@uiowa.edu/319-621-5738) or any member of our planning committee with questions or suggestions.

Thank you in advance for your generosity and support. Together, we can create a fantastic and safe celebration for our juniors!
