Greetings Jackson-Reed High School Class of 2025 Parents/Guardians:
Hello All,
We are doing our best to add all parents who have been somehow dropped from the contact list. Please continue to reach out if you or someone you know is not receiving the class emails (generally there is one class newsletter per month).
If you are no longer receiving the Sunday School emails you can access information at this url: https://jacksonreedhs.org/enews-9-10-2023/
Note that you can also access the Principal’s Message by going to the Jackson-Reed homepage and hovering over the ABOUT tab at the top and then selecting the last option titled ‘Weekly eNews’

Message from AP Minsker:

Back to School Night, Thursday 9/14: Parents are invited to attend this year’s annual Back To School Night, which begins at 5:30pm on Thursday, September 14th.  Parents will enter through the main entrance and the atrium will be set up with academic departments set up at tables and various Jackson-Reed groups sharing information.  After Principal Brown’s brief remarks around 5:45pm, parents will follow their child’s schedule, moving through the building for all eight periods and meeting teachers in classrooms for 10 minute intervals. The program wraps up at 8:00pm.
Parents are asked to open ASPEN for Back to School Night and read/use the most current version of their child’s schedule. Student ambassadors and members from the Jackson-Reed Hospitality Academy will be on hand to assist parents in finding classrooms.  If you have any questions about Back to School Night, please reach out to Mr. Minsker at marc.minsker@k12.dc.gov
