Reed School is an elementary school that houses second and third grades with a population of about 385 students for the 2008-2009 school year. We have eight sections of 2nd and 3rd grades each. Reed is located in unincorporated Homer Township in a beautiful and scenic area in northeast Will County as part of Will County School District 92. Reed students and staff pride themselves in the outstanding educational program offered to all of our children. Reed School puts an emphasis on respect - Respect Everyone Each Day – REED!

Reed School is dedicated to academic excellence. Our students are exposed to a rigorous academic standard provided by a talented, hard-working, and dedicated staff. Students participate in fine arts throughout their week; students have art weekly and music two to three times per week depending on grade level. All students participate in physical education classes throughout their academic week. We have a computer lab with 30 eMacs that provide the opportunity for students acquire technology skills. The building has wireless connections, so teachers and students can use computers in every classroom. Additionally, a mobile computer cart allows computer access for students and teachers within the classroom for projects. Students also visit our library weekly with their classroom and teacher. During the year students are provided a variety of experiences through school assemblies and field trips.

Teachers will communicate with parents through weekly newsletters in Friday folders and many teachers have their own web pages for parents to access current events in the individual classrooms. The Reed School web page is also a great resource for parents and it provides a link to the teacher web pages.

Reed School encourages parent involvement and we are most grateful for the support our parents provide to their students and our staff. If you are interested in becoming a parent volunteer, please contact our office. We use parent volunteers in a variety of areas throughout the building.

As the new principal of Reed, I am looking forward to an exciting year! If you have any questions about our programs, please call or email me at Reed School, 708-301-0692, mjasinski@d92.org.

Sincerely,

Mary Jasinski,
Principal Reed School
