I'm so excited that you've joined our school community!

I thank you for your choice to become part of the Reagan team, and I look forward to having a successful year together!
The PURPOSE of this course is...
- to help you understand what IB is - the lingo and all of the fancy acronyms that go with it (MYP, DP, etc.)
- to provide you with IB and Reagan-specific information that will assist you in being successful at this school (Standards-Based Grading, Personal Project, etc.)
- to assist you with your transition from whichever middle school/K-8 you attended to high school
- to hone your self-reflection skills, focusing on the IB Learner Profile traits
- to teach you the MYP Design curriculum, focusing on the MYP Design Cycle (a process for problem-solving that can be applied to any problem you encounter)
- to provide you with meaningful opportunities to use the Design Cycle in a project-based learning environment - each project focusing on strengthening your self, your relationships with others, and/or your global citizenship
- to get you started on the MYP Personal Project
