Welcome our new Assistant Principal, Ms. Reid
Hello All,
Allow me to introduce myself, I am your new Assistant Principal, Kristen Reid. I have lived in West Deptford for over twenty years and my daughter is a current student in the district. I hail from a family of educators and understand the importance and privilege of getting a high quality education. I want your child(ren) to feel safe, supported, and seen in school. Knowing that kindness and patience go a long way, I strive to model these principles to my students.
My goals are to support our families, uplift our school communities, and build strong relationships with our stakeholders. When our students thrive and our teachers have strong leadership, magic happens!
I am beyond excited to start this journey with my new Oakview and Red Bank families. If you have any questions or want to contact me, please feel free to email me at kreid@wdeptford.k12.nj.us.
Looking forward to showing my Eagle Pride!
Thank you.
Warm Regards,
Kristen Reid
Assistant Principal
OV/RB
