Thanks to the 58 6th-grade, 52 7th-grade, and 28 8th-grade families who have donated to the Annual Giving Campaign this year, we have raised $35,913 of our $65,000 goal. Great job, Team Reed! BUT we only have 6 weeks to meet our budgeted goal. Without your voluntary donations, Friends of Reed cannot respond to requests made by school administration for help with field trips, additional support staff, and campus beautification.

Calling all Approved Volunteers!! If you are available to show prospective parents around our school on Tuesday, November 7, please sign up here! Don't worry if you aren't familiar with the campus as each group will be led by an NJHS student. Click the flyer for details and sign up! Thank you!

Be sure to get your LAUSD volunteer status processed or renewed! Volunteers must be approved YEARLY. So if you were an approved volunteer you need to renew your application, or if you are new to volunteering you must complete the application for the first time!

All volunteers must be approved (including proof of vaccination) if you want to be able to help out with in-person events during school hours.

Please note that going forward LAUSD requires ALL volunteers to be fully approved through the district application process. There will be no more one time volunteer approvals.

Learn about requirements and how the process works here.

Start the process here.

If you need any help with your application please contact wrmsptsapres@gmail.com

Last year Reed parents spruced up the staff lounges for our teachers & staff and we are relying on donations to keep it going! If you are able, you can either purchase from our Amazon wish list which gets sent directly to school, or feel free to purchase Keurig pods (we really need these right now), coffee creamers, paper towels, individual snacks items, or earth friendly disposable coffee cups from wherever you shop and leave them in the main office with 'Amy Cooper' written on the bag. Thank you for your support for our Reed staff!

At the Team Reed monthly meeting on September 20, it was brought to our attention that a crossing guard is urgently needed for the pedestrian crosswalk on Moorpark at Irvine Ave (click map). This falls under the jurisdiction of our Council District 2 office, lead by Councilmember Paul Krekorian. 

We are asking the Team Reed community to take action by contacting Mr Krekorian’s office to bring this matter to his attention and ask for his support to secure a crossing guard before and after school. 

Use this email template that you can simply copy and paste, then email to the CD2 office at paul.krekorian@lacity.org Or feel free to write your own version. 

If you have any questions please do reach out to us at info@teamreed.org Let’s make this happen!
