Developing a community of leaders for a better world.
Welcome back...
We are so excited to get this year started! As you begin to plan for the next few weeks, here are some dates to keep in mind:
- NEW KINDER PARENT Q&A - Thursday, August 11th 5:45-6:15 This informal kinder Q&A is for new parents who wonder how kinder/school work. This will be an opportunity to find out specifics about kinder and will be followed by New Family Orientation - which will answer questions and give information about school processes in general.
- NEW FAMILY ORIENTATION - Thursday, August 11th 6:30-7:30 This orientation is an opportunity for families new to LISD or Reed to find out about systems and processes within the school.
- POSTCARD FROM TEACHER - Wednesday the 17th or Thursday the 18th Postcards from the teacher should be arriving by the 18th to welcome your child to their class. This will be your notification of your child's teacher and will also provide the room number. (If you do not receive your postcard, we will have staff with clipboards at open house to give you that information. Please note: the office staff will not be able to give this information out prior to Open House Night.)
- OPEN HOUSE - Thursday, August 18th 5:30-6:15 for A-M, 6:15-7:00 for N-Z Come and meet the teacher, bring school supplies and provide the teacher with information that will help them get to know your child. Please make sure to fill out contact and transportation information to help us ensure student safety. If you are not able to come to Open House, please communicate with your child's teacher so that he/she can get the essential information.
- FIRST DAY OF SCHOOL - Monday, August 22nd We can't wait to see all our amazing Reed Roadrunners! All K-5 students report to the MPR/Gym starting at 7:20 when the school doors open. Teacher names will be posted on the wall in the MPR and students will sit in class lines below their teacher's name.
- PTA BOO HOO / YAHOO - Monday, August 22nd 7:45-8:30 in Community Room (across from MPR) Join our PTA for Kleenex, Coffee and Goodies after you send your kiddos off to start their day!

Developing Leaders
At Reed we are working to become a Leader in Me school. We focus on teaching students to apply the 7 Habits to their lives every day. Ask them about how they are becoming leaders!
Building Better Systems... starting with the cafeteria!
Our Student Leader in Me Lighthouse Team (1 student representative from each 3rd-5th grade class) chose to focus on improving our systems in the cafeteria so we are excited to be rolling out their plans this year! We are looking for parent volunteers who might be interested in helping with lunch duty and getting our new systems going the first few weeks. If you would be interested in helping out, please email katrina.magnussen@leanderisd.org and let her know days and times you would be available. Remember that you MUST be an approved volunteer (and you have to apply every year - it doesn't roll over - so get that application in now)!
