Support Services
RUSD schools share the services of a psychologist, counselor, district librarian, reading specialist, speech and language therapists, technology coordinator and technician, part-time aides for limited English-speaking students, a school nurse and a district health aide. Each school is assigned a special education resource specialist. The schools also offer remediation and enrichment programs. Private, parent-paid school bus transportation is available for the three sites.

Student Achievement
Progress reports are sent home tri-annually for K-8th grades and quarterly for 6-8th grades. Teachers hold conferences with parents annually and as needed and assemble portfolios of student work. Students in grades 2-8 take the CAT/6 Test and the California Standards Tests. STAR results are available on the district web site: rusd.marin.k12.ca.us and online at the California Department of Education's website: http://star.cde.ca.gov. Our performance levels continue to be strong and well above the state average. API scores were well above 800, the state cutoff for high-achieving schools. Del Mar's API score was 888, Bel Aire's was 916 and Reed's was 924.

Community Involvement
Parents participate in PTA-sponsored activities and assist in the classrooms, libraries and other schoolsite locations. They also serve on the school site councils and the Board of Trustees. Parents, community members and local businesses support the district's schools through a parcel assessment and through contributions to the Reed Schools Foundation, which funds Spanish, technology, art, music and other programs and site enhancements. After school programs are available through the recreation departments in Belvedere/Tiburon and Corte Madera and through Tiburon Peninsula’s Soccer League and Little League. After school daycare is available through the Belvedere/Tiburon Child Care Center.
