The last seven days have flown by! So much learning is going on throughout the building. We are all very blessed to have the staff that we do at Reading Elementary! There is such passion and caring for each and every child!
If a child gets here after 7:45, classes have begun, and that means minutes are lost from your child's learning. It also makes it harder for your child to start the day smoothly! Your child is welcome as early as 7:15 AM to have breakfast with their peers!
Kudos and heartfelt thanks to:
- The PTO who works so hard behind the scenes to support our school!
- All of you who have sent in your paperwork!
- All of you who have worked so hard to get here no later than 7:30 AM-thank you!

Lunch Bills - In order to keep our lunch costs down, we ask that families PRE-PAY, and in doing so, pay less. IF you pay your Aug./Sept. fee by next Friday, Sept. 15, your child's lunches will be $2.50 each. Otherwise, they are $3.00 each meal. Please send in a check for $55. for Gr. K-6, and $30. if your child is Pre-K. Snacks are provided through our Fresh Fruit and Veggie Grant. Please send it in an envelope with your child's name in. Thank you!
However, if a child makes an unfortunate choice to be disrespectful or disruptive in class, there is a discipline system in place. This is the RES discipline flowchart. Based on State guidelines, behaviors are either "Minor-Tier 1" or "Major-Tier 2 or 3). An incident is documented on a "yellow" slip for Tier 1 behaviors, or a "blue" slip for Tier 2/3 behaviors. We discussed this process with all classes on Friday, and wanted to make sure that you understood it as well. After the 2nd yellow slip is "earned" by a student, the teacher or staff member will be contacting you. The third yellow slip is an automatic office referral, and I will be contacting you.
The first seven days of school, we did not use any blue or yellow slips as we all have to "settle in" to the routines and expectations. The slips start being used officially Monday. If you want further information on this, please contact Mrs. Knight.
Staff Bios - So we will highlighting various staff members each week so you can get to know who your child's education team is. Please see below:
