a portion of East Corte Madera. Its three school sites are located

Union High School District, as well as private schools in Marin County
and San Francisco. The District Office is open Monday through

Support Services
RUSD schools share the services of a Psychologist, a Speech and a
Language Therapist, an Information Services Coordinator & an
Assistant, part-time Aides for limited English-speaking students,
a School Nurse, and a District Health Aide. Instructional Aides
provide assistance in the elementary classrooms at Reed and Bel
Aire Schools. Each school is assigned a Special Education Resource
Specialist, art, music, and P.E. teachers, as well as a technology
facilitator. Bel Aire and Reed Schools have Reading Specialists
to oversee intervention literacy programs and work collaboratively
with the Resource Teachers in the Learning Center to provide services
for all students in need. In 2006-2007, Spanish will be taught
in Grades 3-8. School bus transportation is available to
and from all three sites.
Community Involvement
Parents participate in PTA-sponsored activities and assist in the
classrooms, libraries, and other school site locations. They also
serve on the school site councils and the Board of Trustees. Parents,
community members, and local businesses support schools through
a parcel tax that provides for small class size and two bond measures
to improve facilities. The parent-led Reed Schools Foundation,
funds Spanish, technology, art, music, physical education and site
enhancements.
After-school programs are available
through the recreation departments in Belvedere/Tiburon and Corte
Madera and through Tiburon Peninsula's Soccer League and Little
League.
Childcare is available through the Belvedere-Tiburon
Child Care Center located on both the Reed and Bel Aire School campuses. |
