Families,
We are looking forward to the last couple of weeks of school. I have truly enjoyed my first year as principal at Del Mar. It is a fantastic school with a terrific, supportive community and it has been a pleasure getting to know the students. Thank you for making me feel so welcome.
We have many fun activities, listed below, for our students to participate in to close the school year. Thank you to all the staff and parent volunteers, including the PTA, for their help in planning these events.
Best Wishes,
Chad Stuart (he/him)
Principal

Bell Schedule
Our 2022-23 regular bell schedule can be found HERE.
|
Please keep sick children home and please call the office on the day of your child's absence by 8:00 a.m. (415-435-1468, ext. 4) or email delmar@reedschools.org. This will eliminate the need for a call from the office. We expect students to attend school unless there is an excused absence-for illness, injury, a medical/dental appointment or a religious holiday. All other absences are marked "unexcused." Unexcused absences do not excuse a student from classroom assignments.
Arriving Late? Leaving Early? Follow these instructions:
Students arriving late to school must sign in with the office and get a tardy slip before going to class. If you need to pick your child up in the middle of the day, please try to do so between classes, and be sure to remind your child to come to the office to meet you there, without needing a call from the office. If they must leave in the middle of a class, please send them with a note to give to that teacher so they can excuse themselves. We do not ever want to call into a classroom unless there is an emergency, so please plan accordingly!
