Doris Reed

From the school

"Doris Reed ES provides each family with a yellow communication envelope which goes home every Monday and is returned, signed by the parent, every Tuesday. All important information for the week is placed inside the communication envelope. Fifth graders also utilize a daily planner to assist with organization and parent communication. Parents receive a monthly school newsletter filled with information regarding school activities. When necessary, the school also sends out letters, flyers, and memorandums. We have a mini Open House, before school begins, to meet teachers and a formal Open House in September to discuss classroom rules, procedures, and expectations. Teachers communicate with parents through grade level newsletters, phone calls, parent conferences, and bi-weekly progress reports. Family Literacy and Math Nights are always a success with our families. They enjoy playing games, exploring educational websites, and learning how to help their children with their homework. We also have a Multicultural Night to learn about different cultures through art, music, dancing, and food. In addition, parents are invited to attend our Science Fair to view the wonderful science projects created by our students."
