Our theme was “The Road To Learning”. We join together as students, teachers, and families to form a community dedicated to learning, both academically and socially, around Regnart. The student’s long educational journey starts right here, with a solid foundation for the years ahead. We try to capture the spirit of this journey as we build the yearbook, and this beautiful cover art uniquely sets that tone.

We received many entries, all of which reflected the imaginative and creative students of Regnart. We congratulate all of our participants on a job well done!

Sip To Support Regnart at Jamba Juice!
posted 08Feb2012 by Regnart Webmaster

You can help support Regnart PTA and its many programs by picking up a free Jamba School Appreciation Card in the Regnart Office from Mrs. Lockhart or Mrs. Louie.

When you go to Jamba Juice, swipe your Jamba School Card and Jamba will donate 10% of your purchase to Regnart PTA, and 2% to the National PTA. The Jamba School Card is accepted at all Jamba Juice locations and is good at any time you visit. There is no need to do any kind of sign-up - just get a card and start using it!

You only need one card for your visit to Jamba to count. If you have multiple kids, you can ring multiple smoothies on the same card, but you may want individual cards for each parent. After we've addressed initial demand for Jamba School Cards, you may get additional cards for relatives, friends, and co-workers, as available.

Thanks for supporting Regnart PTA!.

Renew your eScrip Participation Now!
posted 02Oct2011 by Regnart Webmaster

Many Regnart families participate in eScrip which raises over $500 annually for PTA programs. To sign up, simply go online and register participating credit and store club cards. Your purchases are tracked, and a percentage of sales are donated by the retailers.

Our most popular eScrip contributor is Safeway. Safeway requests that eScrip members renew their participation on an annual basis to qualify for their donation. To renew, simply visit http://www.escrip.com and click on the red Safeway check box.

From there, identify yourself by your e-mail address, phone number, or with your Safeway club card number. That's all that's required to revalidate your account with Safeway for one year!

You must renew by October 31 to maintain uninterrupted contributions. Only Safeway requires this annual validation. You can click on the "my eScrip" link for more options and to see a contribution report (both individual and for the entire school).

You'll receive a reminder e-mail about renewing if you were previously subscribed. Each member must individually renew (we can't do this for you). If you need assistance, please contact us at regnart.escrip@gmail.com.

Please consider enrolling in eScrip - it's an easy, low-impact way to help out Regnart.

Please consider supporting your child's classroom and the school by signing up as a volunteer. In the classrooms there are many ways to help out, in all grades:

• Room Reps help plan classroom parties and facilitate communications with parents
• Art Docent volunteers help run 4 hands-on art projects for the classroom
• Project Cornerstone reps lead the class through a periodic book-based sessions that create awareness of respect and bullying issues
• Reading Program volunteers handle recording tasks for the 5-week Reading Program
• Yearbook volunteers take photos and work on page design

There are also many different volunteering opportunities on a non-classroom basis. Download the Parent Volunteers Needed form to learn more and sign up.

We've also introduced a new Regnart Volunteering Hotline e-mail list that you can subscribe to and get occasional notices of volunteering needs. You have no obligation to participate, but we hope that you'll try to help out if you can.
