We are finishing our STAR testing for 2nd grade and are presently gearing up for our K-2 assessments. Data will be used to plan for instruction and to determine needs for the new school year. We have also identified teacher leaders who will be attending an all-day Math Common Core training on May 29th.
Our School Site Council has reviewed the Parent Survey. (click on link) and be sure to fill out the survey. If you have more than one student, please fill out a survey for each child. Your input is important in helping our school to better provide for the needs of all our students. We are also in need of 2 parent representatives for School Site Council. This is a 2 year commitment and the positions are determined through a vote by our school community. Presently, we have 2 people who are interested in running again for the positions. If others are interested, please turn your name in to the office along with a paragraph about yourself. Ballots will be posted in the next Headline News.Thursday, May 17th is a full day of activities.

FROM THE PTA
Thank you to all of the volunteers who have worked so hard to support Reed school this year! From car line to math centers, hot lunch to field trips, book fairs to yearbook design, assemblies to spirit wear, our school simply wouldn’t be as great without you. If you’d like to get more involved with Reed PTA next year, please keep an eye out for the Volunteer Coffee held early in the school year. It’s the perfect time to sign-up and get involved.
Among our amazing volunteers are Lisa Krausz, Claudia Bressie and Bethany Rankin, who recently hosted the final Staff Appreciation luncheon of the year. Thank you to them and all of the many parents who donated food; the dinners and luncheons were truly appreciated by our teachers and staff. You may not have known, but Bethany is a professional chef who personally catered all of the Staff Appreciation events this year! She can be reached at bethany@marinprivatechef.com.
