Introduction Letter

Dear Parents/Guardians & Students,

Welcome to the beginning of the 2025 - 2026 school year! Some of you I have had the pleasure of meeting already and I hope to meet all of you sometime soon. This is my  10th year at Masonville! I absolutely love the enthusiasm for learning and positive growth mindset that is such an embedded part of the Mustang culture!

I have taught previously at Weldon Park Academy (2 years), Sherwood Forest (12 years) and Orchard Park (3 years).  I went to Wilfrid Laurier University and Western where I studied Physical Education, Psychology & Education. I have taught Grade 6 for the majority of my teaching career.

Assignments & Events will be posted on our google classroom. This website will give you some background information and list of resources that I hope you find useful. 

My personal philosophy as a teacher is to strive to the best of my ability to be kind, supportive and enthusiastic.  

 I’ve learned that when parents/guardians, teachers, and students work together toward shared goals, incredible things can be achieved! I strive to be approachable and welcome any feedback you’d like to share. 

On a personal level, when not focused on teaching related activities I spend time involved in athletic pursuits, working on “projects” around the house and reading.  I have an amazing family that I am very grateful to be able to spend my life with!

Looking forward to another fantastic year at Masonville :)

Mr. Reed
