We are committed to every child becoming a confident learner and a respectful,
responsible citizen by nurturing, teaching, and inspiring each child to thrive
in a challenging, dynamic world.
Reed School is a K-2 school within the Reed Union School District. Reed Elementary
School delivers a comprehensive academic program that is aligned to California
State Frameworks and Content Standards. All instructional decisions are based
on current research and best practices in education. On-going professional development
coupled with effective constructive communication between school community members
are the key components of our success. Reed School was named a California Distinguished
School in 2002.
Reed School is a very cohesive and mutually supportive collegial community. Teachers,
support personnel, students, parents and community members are actively encouraged
to take on leadership roles and participatory decision making to support and
encourage our students. This occurs through grade level parent meetings, the
School site Council meetings, Parent Teacher Association meetings, as well as
many special events. The staff works together to establish a great sense of participation
for the entire school community.
Reed School follows the core academic content standards adopted by the California
State Board of Education. These standards cover in four curriculum areas: English-language
arts, mathematics, history-social science, and science. The core content standards
are the basis for the subject matter frameworks, the adoption of instructional
materials, and the standards-aligned tests in California's student performance
assessment system. The District is a member of the Education Task Force (ETF),
a collaborative of twelve school districts (Bolinas-Stinson, Kentfield, Lagunitas,
Larkspur, Mill Valley, Nicasio, Reed, Ross, Ross
Valley, Sausalito Marin City, Tamalpais High School District, and the College
of Marin). Through
collaboration, ETF districts pool resources and share expertise to do work that
would not be possible for our individual districts to perform on our own. Our
shared mission is to meet the needs of all students with special attention to
those who are most academically at risk. ETF works together to ensure a curriculum
continuum from kindergarten through twelfth grade. Our shared work includes an
extensive professional development program locally developed performance assessments,
and curriculum articulation. This cooperation encourages the exchange of expertise,
ideas and resources among districts and across grade levels.
