Henry, Minter Bridge, Reedville, and Witch Hazel attendance areas are invited to fill out a Preschool Promise application form if they are interested in having their child participate in preschool next school year; parents living in the attendance areas of other schools offering preschool programs should contact the school directly for sign-up information.

Bond Update: Renovation at Reedville Begins

To prepare for the siting of a new modular building at Reedville Elementary School this summer, our contractors moved two portables to other schools, and demolished three older portables that have exceeded their workable lives and cannot be salvaged. The modular building will house several classrooms as well as a new music room, kitchen and cafeteria, providing much-needed space to the school. The modular building and renovations to Reedville's main building are just some of the projects slated to take place this summer, including the installation of lighted turf fields at both Glencoe and Hilhi. These projects are made possible by the passage of our 2017 Bond.
