Superintendent Update: Cellphone policy, 2025-26 Calendar, PowerSchool data breach & more

Dear Kuna families:

It is hard to believe that we are at the halfway mark of the school year!

It’s an exciting time as we are also preparing for the next school year and our secondary and soon-to-be secondary students will be making class choices. Families will be getting more information from schools in the next couple of months.

An important part of this process is conversations about what students are interested in. 

To support our families and students, the third annual College and Career Fair will be held for grades 5-12. This year it's Feb. 26, see details in the flyer below. 

Thank you all who organize this great event so families can learn as well as career opportunities in our community. 

Mark your calendars for Feb. 26 and we look forward to seeing you there!

Our community is welcome to nominate an individual for a Kuna Way Award, here’s the link to use:

Her tireless efforts make a significant difference in the lives of both students and their families.”

“Mrs. Mandi White has been a wonderful teacher to my son. He transitioned to public school this year after only attending a Montessori style school and she has made the transition so easy for him. He is always excited about school and says that she is the best teacher. She is so kind and communicative with her students' parents. I think she deserves recognition.”

“Tania Briseno is an incredible teacher. She cares for students. As a kinder parent, it's hard to let our babies start going to school but Briseno has made the transition so easy. She loves our kids as if they're her own. She sends pictures and communication so we know what's going on in the classroom. Our daughter gets excited for school every day and we know Briseno is the reason. Briseno deserves every award in my book and we want to thank her for all she does for Reed and our students.”

“This school year, Genae Gordon has truly gone above and beyond for our newcomer families at Reed Elementary. From securing home furnishings and arranging after-school activities to advocating for job opportunities, she has been a constant source of support. Genae has even made home visits during evenings and weekends to ensure our families feel welcomed and cared for. Her tirele
