Dear Students, Parents, and Guardians,

Welcome to Granite Falls Middle School!  My name is Josh Reed, and I am excited to be starting another new year alongside you and your family.  This year, I will be teaching math alongside my teammates Mr. Jonathan Reynolds (Science & Social Studies) and Ms. Constance Quinn (English Language Arts).

I graduated from The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, and I grew up right here in Granite Falls.  I began my teaching career in 2015, and I have had the privilege of teaching math in 8th, 7th, and 6th grade. I was drawn to the field of education by my own passion for learning and inspiring a love of learning in young people.  I personally understand that math can be a student’s most frustrating class, but I also believe that success in math can be the most rewarding. My mom is also a math teacher, and I have spent many years tutoring middle and high school students.  I know that all students can be successful in math, and I am excited to get to celebrate that with you.

I am very excited to get to know all of my students and their families here in Granite Falls.  If you have any questions do not hesitate to email me at joreed@caldwellschools.com.  If you would ever like to schedule a meeting, my planning is from 11:35-1:00  I believe that education is a partnership between the teacher, the student, and the home.  I hope I can count on your support in making this a wonderful year for your student.

Go Blue Demons!
