Welcome Back, Martians!

Hello Reid Families!
Welcome back! I hope everyone had a fun and relaxing summer. I am SO excited to get this new school year started and see all of our students back at Reid!
Whether you’re returning to Reid or joining us for the first time, we are so happy you’re here. Reid is a special place, and it’s because of the amazing kids, families, teachers, and staff who make up our school family.
This year, we’ll keep working together to be Martian STRONG—showing Self-control, Teamwork, Responsibility, Organization, Never Give Up, and Gratitude. Most importantly, we want every student to know that they belong here, they are cared for, and they can do great things!
Our teachers are ready, the classrooms are ready, and we’re ready for YOU! Get ready for a year full of learning, laughter, new adventures, and lots of fun.
I can’t wait to see everyone on the first day!

Tardy: Students should be in their classroom ready to learn by 8:30. After 8:35, or if they miss the caravan line and are brought in the office for drop off, they are marked tardy.
Half Day (AM or PM Absence): Arrive after 9:15 or leave before 3:10. Please use the ParentVue app or call the attendance line to report your child’s absence.

After receiving these communications, please call the front office or attendance line or the absence will remain unverified.
Excused Medical Absence: In the case that your child missed school because they were under the care of a physician, please turn all doctor’s notes into the office within one week of their return to school.
