We would like to keep you informed that Reynolds School District is currently experiencing a bus driver shortage, which is an existing problem nationwide. In light of this challenge, there is a possibility that bus routes for some schools may be impacted. In the event a change needs to be made so we can provide timely school bus transportation, parents will be notified as quickly as possible. We hope to have more information regarding bus routes for families very soon.
Thank you for your interest in volunteering with us!
End of School Year: Please note that the end of the school year is always a busy time to get cleared as a volunteer. Processing time may be more than 15-business days after your application has been received. We strongly encourage you to submit your application over the summer or at the start of the school year.
Please contact your school for more information about volunteer opportunities.
We welcome and value all our newcomer students and families and the assets they bring to Reynolds School District, and we want to ensure that they feel safe and supported. The challenge of integrating into their new home is compounded for newcomers who attend school, since they must learn not only how to navigate a new culture socially, but also how to function effectively in an education system and language that typically differs from their prior experience.
The State School Board created the Oregon State Seal of Biliteracy (OSSB) to recognize and value the native language/s students speak and bring to their English academic studies, to value language programs in schools, and to encourage students in the study of languages. This award recognizes student literacy in reading, writing, listening, and speaking in one or more World Languages, in addition to English.
Currently, Reynolds School District has one school that offers a bilingual program. This program is housed at Alder Elementary School.
Dual Language prioritizes closing the opportunity gap for marginalized students, one of our strategic plan goals. The goals of dual language are for students to develop high levels of language proficiency and literacy in both program languages, to demonstrate high levels of academic achievement, and to develop an appreciation for and an understanding of diverse cultures.
To help students achieve academic success while still learning English, Reynolds School District provides a range of educational programs and services. All schools with qualified English Language Learner (ELL) students offer services.
How do students qualify for English Language Services?
