Parking/Traffic Safety

When you are in a hurry to bring your child to school, please remember to respect our neighbors by parking only in unrestricted zones, not moving their garbage cans on Monday mornings, and/or staying in your cars in the Passenger Loading Zone.  In addition, set a good example for your children and cross in the crosswalk. No jaywalking, please!

Please remember traffic and parking rules so that everyone is safe and our drop off and pick up runs smoothly.

• Please drive slowly and carefully around our school, especially during drop off and pick up.
• Unfortunately, there are no parking spaces on school grounds for the general public, only for staff and the handicapped.  You need to park on the bordering streets.
• We need parents to help with the Safety Patrol at the main intersections.  Please volunteer!
• We need all drivers to NOT park in the bus areas on Glacier.

Passenger Loading Zones & Bus Zones
Please remember to abide by the passenger loading zone regulations. Use the zone as designed, for dropping off and picking up..not for parking! Please stay in your cars.

At all times, please do not park in the bus zone!

Thank you so much for your assistance!

Sincerely,
Bonnie Thurston
Reed Principal

Parent e-Mail Communication

In 2010-11, SJUSD acquired a more effective email filtering system. Parents no longer need to register their email addressees to communicate with teachers or administrators. We understand the importance of communicating quickly and effectively with parents, community members, and others outside of San Jose Unified School District, and hopefully this change will allow communication to flow more smoothly. If anyone is aware of legitimate emails not being received or being blocked by the filter, please contact Technology Services at 408.535.6420.  Sample email address for an SJUSD employee: .(JavaScript must be enabled to view this email address)
