La escuela Reed, desarrollando una comunidad de líderes para un mundo mejor.

Vision: The #1LISD community cultivates each student individually to produce the most sought-after creators of our future world.

Mission: We will cultivate each individual student by:

• Knowing and appreciating them

• Creating a safe and supportive environment to nurture their personal growth

• Partnering with each family

Mon, Aug. 12- Meet the Teacher, 5:00pm (last name A-N) and 5:45pm (last name N-Z)

Wed, Aug. 14- First day of school

Dear Roadrunner Families:

We are excited to welcome our students back to school! We encourage our families to be involved in our back to school events.

Please remember:

Please make sure your child's backpack, lunch box, water bottle, and outerwear are labeled with first and last name. This helps tremendously when your child's items go to the Lost and Found. Each month, we will clean out the Lost and Found. Items that are not labeled and not claimed after 30 days will be donated to the Leander ISD Clothes Closet.

Please be kind to our staff enforcing our arrival and dismissal procedures. Please continue to exercise extreme caution driving around our school. Cell phone use is prohibited in a school zone. Ensure students who are being dropped off are exiting the right passenger side of your vehicle. Ensure your vehicle is in park when your child is exiting. Look both ways before proceeding. Always yield to walkers and bikers on the road. Let's keep our children safe.

Remember, doors open at 7:10am. Student hours are 7:30am-2:45pm, and we dismiss now at our regular time starting at 2:45pm. Please, no early pickups after 2:15pm. It is very difficult to collect students at the end of the school day and ensure all of our students dismiss safely. We need your help, as early pick-ups cause frequent calling to classrooms and interrupting instruction. Please try your best to pick your students up at the regular dismissal time.

We are here for you! If you have any questions, please call our office at (512)570-7700.

We can’t wait to celebrate #ADecadeOfExcellence. Thank YOU for helping us #LeadReed!

Parents, you are able to make Transportation changes by emailing reedtransportation@leanderisd.org before 1pm.

Parents, you are able to report your child's absence or turn in excuse notes by emailing

reedattendance@leanderisd.org within 48 hours after the absence. Include your child's full name, grade, teacher, date(s) of absence, and absence reason. Refer to the Leander ISD Website to learn more about what is an excused versus unexcused absence. Even if an absence is unexcused, it is best to write a note.

Dear Roadrunner Families:
We need your help keeping all students safe. Students are being dropped off in the parking lots rather than Car rider A or C (sidewalks close to the school) during Morning Arrival. If your student is in Kindergarten or 1st grade, please follow the signs to drop off at Car rider A (picture attached). If your student is in 2nd-5th grade, please follow the signs to drop off at Car rider C (picture attached). Ensure students are seated on the right side/ passenger side, or at least can exit the passenger side safely. Remember that cell phone use is prohibited in school zones. Thank you for your cooperation in helping our students stay safe. Please be kind to our staff enforcing our safety procedures. Thank you!

Leadership and Life Skills at Reed ElementarySchool Inspire Young Students to Become

21st Century Leaders with the Leader in Me Process

CEDAR PARK, TEXAS – JANUARY 13, 2020 – Reed Elementary School announced today the school has been certified and named as a Leader in Me Lighthouse School by FranklinCovey Education. This recognition is evidence that the school has produced outstanding results in school and student outcomes, by implementing the Leader in Me process with fidelity and excellence. It is also because of the extraordinary impact the school is having on staff, students, parents, and the greater community.

Paige Collier, principal of Reed Elementary said, “We are honored to have been certified and named a Leader in Me Lighthouse School. We have seen amazing results from implementing the Leader in Me process at our school, such as increased attendance rates, double-digit gains in academic test scores, and decreased discipline issues. This process not only has had a significant impact on our students, but also in our community. And we expect to see greater results over time.”

The Lighthouse Certification is a highly-regarded standard set by FranklinCovey Education that is attainable by every Leader in Me school. As it is a significant benchmark, applying for this certification typically occurs three to five years after a school begins the Leader in Me process.

Sean Covey, President, FranklinCovey Education, said, “We are thrilled to recognize Reed Elementary School as a Leader in Me Lighthouse School. Schools who achieve this Lighthouse Certification are great examples of a strong leadership model and process, and of what it means to be a Leader in Me school. This school has experienced transformational results by implementing the principles and practices related to Leader in Me. And, we are so pleased and honored to celebrate the success they are experiencing.”

Since its official launch nearly a decade ago, nearly 4,000 public, private, and charter schools across 50 countries have adopted the Leader in Me process, while more than 300 schools have achieved the prestigious Lighthouse certification. It is earned by schools that demonstrate the following:

· The principal, school administration and staff engage in ongoing learning and develop as leaders, while championing leadership for the school.

· Leadership principles are effectively taught to all students through direct lessons, integrated approaches, and staff modeling. Students are able to think critically about and apply leadership principles.

· Families and the school partner together in learning about the 7 Habits and leadership principles through effective communication and mutual respect.

· The school community is able to see leadership in the physical environment, hear leadership through the common language of the 7 Habits, and feel leadership through a culture of caring, relationships, and affirmation.

· Leadership is shared with students through a variety of leadership roles and student voice leads to innovations within the school.

· Schoolwide, classroom, family and community leadership events provide authentic environments to celebrate leadership, build culture, and allow students to practice leadership skills.

· The school utilizes the 4DX® process to identify and track progress toward Wildly Important Goals (WIGs) for the school, classroom, and staff.

· Students lead their own learning with the skills to assess their needs, set appropriate goals, and carry out action plans. They track progress toward goals in Leadership Notebooks and share these notebooks with adults in student-led conferences.

· Teacher planning and reflection, trusting relationships, and student-led learning combine to create environments for highly engaged learning.

Reed Elementary School will maintain its Lighthouse Certification the next two years and will continue to foster its growth and proficiency in exemplifying a leadership culture and principles. At the end of the two years, Reed will be able to recertify its Lighthouse Certification through a virtual self-assessment, describing and celebrating its growth and accomplishments since its original Lighthouse designation.

Leader in Me is a whole-school transformation model and process—developed in partnership with educators—that empowers students with the leadership and life skills they need to thrive in the 21st century. Leader in Me helps students learn how to become self-reliant, take initiative, plan ahead, set and track goals, do their homework, prioritize their time, manage their emotions, be considerate of others, express their viewpoint persuasively, resolve conflicts, find creative solutions, value differences, and live a balanced life.

Leader in Me utilizes and integrates several leadership, social-emotional learning, quality, and educational models and processes from past and current thought leaders including The 4 Imperatives of Great Leaders and The 4 Disciplines of Execution. The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People is also a key component of the overall Leader in Me process and is a synthesis of universal, timeless principles of personal, interpersonal, and organizational effectiveness, such as responsibility, vision, integrity, teamwork, collaboration and renewal.

Leader in Me is having a significant, measurable impact on schools all over the world and in the lives of millions of students, parents, teachers, and administrators, as is evidenced by the findings resulting from initial evaluation studies conducted by third-party research organizations and leading academic institutions. To learn more about the impact the process is having, visit http://www.theleaderinme.org/what-is-the-impact/.

Reed Elementary earned a Distinction from the Texas Education Agency for the Top 25% Academic Growth! We are so proud of our Roadrunners! Way to #LeadReed!

Each week we will recognize leaders in our school that demonstrate and model the habits. Here is a link to The Leader in Me parent guide: http://www.theleaderinme.org/parents/

Habit 1 – Be proactive – I am a responsible person. I take initiative. I choose my actions, attitudes, and moods. I do not blame others for my wrong actions. I do the right thing without being asked, even when no one is looking.

Habit 2 – Begin with the end in mind – I plan ahead and set goals. I do things that have meaning and make a difference. I am an important part of my classroom and contribute to my school’s mission and vision. I look for ways to be a good citizen.

Habit 3 – Put first things first – I spend my time on things that are most important. This means I say no to things I know I should not do. I set priorities, make a schedule, and follow my plan. I am disciplined and organized.

Habit 4 – Think win-win – I balance courage for getting what I want with consideration for what others want. When conflicts arise, I look for a win-win solution.

Habit 5 - Seek first to understand, then to be understood – I listen to other people’s ideas and feelings. I try to see things from their viewpoint (paradigm). I listen to others without interrupting. I listen with my ears, my eyes, and my heart. I am confident in voicing my ideas.

Habit 6 – Synergize – I value other people’s strengths and learn from them. I get along well with others, even people who are different than me. I work well in groups. I seek out other people’s ideas because I know that by teaming with others, we can create better solutions than what any one of us could alone. I look for Third Alternatives.

Habit 7 – Sharpen the saw – I eat right, exercise, and get enough sleep (body). I learn in lots of ways and lots of places, not just at school (brain). I spend time with family and friends (heart). I take time to find meaningful ways to help people (soul). I balance all four parts of myself.

EL LIDER EN MI – LOS 7 HABITOS

Cada semana reconoceremos en nuestra escuela a los líderes que demuestren y modelen los 7 hábitos. Aquí encontrará una guía para padres de “El líder en mi” http://www.theleaderinme.org/parents/

Hábito 1 – Sé proactivo- Soy una persona responsable. Tomo la iniciativa. Elijo mis actos, actitudes y estados de ánimo. No culpo a otros por mis malas acciones. Siempre hago lo correcto sin que me lo pidan aun cuando nadie está viendo.

Hábito 2 – Comienza con el final en mente -- Planeo y me pongo metas. Hago cosas que tienen significado y que hacen la diferencia. Soy una parte importante en mi salón de clase y contribuyo a la misión y visión de mi escuela. Busco maneras de ser un buen ciudadano.

Hábito 3 – Pon primero lo primero – Utilizo mi tiempo en cosas que son importantes. Esto significa que diré no a las cosas que se que no hay que hacer. Estableceré prioridades, crearé un horario y seguiré mi plan. Soy disciplinado y organizado.

Hábito 4 – Piensa ganar- ganar – Equilibro mi valor para obtener lo que quiero con consideración por lo que otros quieran. Cuando surja el conflicto, buscaré una solución de ganar-ganar.

Hábito 5 – Busca primero el entender después el ser entendido – Escucho las ideas y sentimientos de otros. Intento ver las cosas desde su punto de vista (paradigma). Escucho a otros sin interrumpir. Escucho con mis oídos, con mis ojos y mi corazón. Tengo confianza en expresar mis ideas.

Hábito 6 – Sinergízate-- Valoro la fortaleza de otras personas y aprendo de ellas. Me llevo bien con otros, incluso con gente que es diferente a mí. Trabajo bien en grupo. Busco las ideas de otros porque sé que haciendo equipo podemos crear mejores soluciones que si lo hacemos cada uno solos. Busco terceras alternativas.

Hábito 7 – Afila la sierra – Como bien, hago ejercicio y duermo lo suficiente (cuerpo). Aprendo de muchas maneras y en muchos lugares, no solo en la escuela (cerebro). Paso tiempo con mi familia y mis amigos (corazón). Me tomo el tiempo para encontrar maneras significativas de ayudar a la gente (alma). Le doy balance a las 4 partes de mi ser.

“If your actions inspire others to dream more, learn more, do more, and become more, you are a leader.” -John Quincy Adams

We are working on our PBIS systems. PBIS stands for Positive Behavior Intervention and Support. It is a research-based framework for decreasing negative behaviors in schools. The first steps to PBIS include developing a few school rules that can be learned and memorized by all students and staff, and then creating a common language throughout the school for what these expectations look like and sound like in all areas of the school. A matrix is created to provide common understanding and is displayed throughout the school. Next, we create systems to reinforce positive behaviors through a school-wide reinforcement system. Teachers commit to a 4:1 ratio of positive reinforcement to redirects. Students who follow the rules are reinforced and continue to lead efforts for a positive and productive school environment. Students who choose not to follow the rules are redirected, retaught, and given consequences including reflection and loss of privileges. I have 12 years of experience as an administrator leading efforts to promote school-wide positive behavior through PBIS implementation and I am excited to bring this experience to Reed. The staff is working as a team to make these efforts successful.

PRIORIDADES DE COMPORTAMIENTO POSITIVO

Estamos trabajando en nuestro sistema PBIS (por sus siglas en inglés), Intervención y Apoyo de Comportamiento Positivo. Es un marco de referencia basado en la investigación que decrementa los comportamientos negativos en las escuelas. El primer paso para el PBIS incluye el desarrollo de reglas escolares que pueden ser aprendidas y memorizadas por los estudiantes y el personal y así crear un lenguaje comunal utilizado en la escuela ayudando al cómo estas expectativas se ven y suenan en todas las áreas de la escuela. Una estructura base es creada para proveer un entendimiento común y después se exhibe alrededor de la escuela. A continuación, se crean sistemas que refuercen el comportamiento positivo en toda la escuela. Los maestros se comprometen a reforzar el comportamiento de manera positiva con un radio de redireccionamiento de 4 a 1. Los estudiantes que siguen las reglas se refuerzan y continúan liderando esfuerzos para un ambiente escolar positivo y productivo. Los estudiantes que decidan no hacerlo, serán redireccionados, se les ensenará de nuevo y tendrán una consecuencia por su comportamiento que incluye el reflexionar sobre lo sucedido y la perdida de privilegios. Tengo 12 año de experiencia como administrador lidereando esfuerzos que promuevan el comportamiento positivo en toda la escuela a través de la implementación del PBIS y me emociona el poder traer esta experiencia a Reed. Nuestro personal esta trabajando como equipo para hacer de estos esfuerzos todo un éxito.

Social Skills Learning is recognized as a key ingredient for school and life

success. To meet the social skills needs of our students and to teach

specific social skills, Leander ISD uses the Second Step

curriculum.

The overall goal of the Second Step social skills program is to increase our

students’ instructional time by helping students stay on task. Second Step

will also increase their capacity to learn, while decreasing behaviors

impacting learning.

Each Second Step grade level curriculum is comprised of four units.

1. Skills for Learning

2. Empathy

3. Emotional Management

4. Problem Solving

We are excited about implementing this new curriculum in Leander ISD.

SEGUNDO PASO— HABILIDADES SOCIALES

El aprendizaje de habilidades sociales es reconocido como ingrediente clave para tener éxito en la vida y en la escuela. Para cumplir con las necesidades de habilidad social de nuestros estudiantes y enseñar habilidades específicas, el distrito independiente de Leander ha adquirido el segundo paso del currículo.

El objetivo general del segundo paso del programa de habilidades sociales es el incrementar el tiempo de instrucción de nuestros estudiantes ayudándolos a concentrarse en sus tareas. El segundo paso también incrementará la capacidad de aprendizaje mientras que reducirá los comportamientos que impactan directamente al mismo.

Cada plan de estudios correspondiente al grado escolar en el segundo paso esta compuesto por unidades.

1. Habilidades para aprender

2. Empatía

3. Manejo emocional

4. Solución de Problemas

Nos entusiasma el poder implementar este nuevo plan de estudios en el distrito escolar de Leander.
