At Abelard Reynolds School No. 42, we welcome parents to join us in celebrating the world of learning with our students. We use researched-based “best practices” in all of our classrooms, pre-kindergarten through grade six. Our partnerships with community organizations and colleges help us to offer our children a diverse educational experience. Our vision is to have all of our students viewing high school and college as attainable goals while becoming lifelong learners and productive citizens.
