Reagan County ISD

There will be no pre-sale tickets or vouchers needed for Roosevelt Football game this Friday. Fans will be able to purchase tickets at the gate Friday evening.

Reagan County ISD will continue to require students, staff, and community members to wear face coverings while attending school activities. Wearing a face covering protects students and staff from being in close contact if an individual were to test positive for COVID-19. This will limit exposure and allow us to continue normal operations without having to quarantine. We will be required to continue to follow UIL guidelines for all sport activities, which includes wearing a face covering. We appreciate your support!

We were notified from the Odessa Compass Volleyball team that a parent that attended the volleyball game on October 3, 2020 at Reagan County ISD tested positive for COVID-19. We would like for anyone that attended the volleyball game to monitor themselves for symptoms. If you did not wear a mask and were within six feet of anyone from Compass please notify the school for more questions. We believe the 14-day incubation period for symptoms would be from 10/3/20 to 10/17/20. We also want to remind everyone the importance of wearing a face covering and social distancing when attending school activities.

Attention parents of students who had free or reduced lunches at the end of school last year and have not filled out an application yet for this school year, as of tomorrow 10-9-2020 your child will no longer qualify for free/reduced lunch and will be pay full price as the 30 day carryover has ended. Please fill out a new 2020-2021 free/reduced lunch application today if you want to possibly qualify for free or reduced lunches. You can go to your child's Skyward account and fill one out electronically, go to the school website and print one out, or pick one up from your school secretary and turn it back in.
