Dear Reed Families and Caregivers,

Happy New Year! It is so wonderful to be back and to begin the new year with our amazing students and community. As we are all experiencing, the new year has brought with it some very strong weather. At this time, school will continue to remain open. Our RUSD maintenance and custodial staff are taking precautions to ensure our campuses are safe for students and staff. If conditions become unsafe,  requiring a school closure, the district will communicate directly with families. In the meantime, please continue to exercise caution as you come to the campus to pick up and drop off your children. 

Happy New Year & Welcome Back!

Mary Niesyn and Staff

Reed School PreK & Kindergarten Registration:  January 18-20

PreK/Kindergarten online registration opens Wednesday, January 18 for incoming students new to Reed School. If you have an incoming age-eligible PreK or Kindergarten child, please register as early as possible beginning January 18.  Early registration is important so we can plan and secure staff and classrooms. The official link will be activated the morning of January 18.  

*Current PreK & Kindergarten students do not need to re-register. Current students will remain automatically enrolled. 

Adopt A Family

Thank you again to our wonderful Reed community for supporting Adopt A Family. Your generosity helped to make the holiday season brighter for many families in Marin, and your kindness is greatly appreciated. Another big thank you to Courtney Denis, Adopt A Family chair, for helping to make it all happen! 

Lunch Volunteering

Are you interested in becoming a regular volunteer at Reed this Spring? Do you have friends who are interested in getting involved with you? We've got a few holes in our school lunch volunteer schedule for this Spring and need your help. 

Shifts run once a week, every other week (just twice a month) from 12-1 pm. This is a great opportunity to see your kiddos and their friends on campus while visiting with fellow Reed parents. Take a look at the google doc to check dates and shift availability. You can fill in your name or email Dana Berhoff dberhoff@yahoo.com or Maren Jaffe Maren.iansmith@gmail.com to sign up.
