Dear Raider Families, It is getting to be that time of year when snow, ice and extreme cold may cause disruptions to school. We wanted to take some time to explain how we go about making decisions regarding calamity days. We closely monitor the weather forecast and have provided helpful links on our website (www.reyn.org) for snow and extremely cold temperatures throughout the winter months. We also maintain communication with the local road crews and police, and drive neighborhoods. Whenever possible, the decision to close school will be made the previous evening. However, closings may be announced as late as 6 a.m. depending on a variety of factors. When assessing the safety of the morning commute, our focus is on school transportation. Are the temperatures and wind chills causing a frost-bite risk for children waiting 15-30 minutes at school bus stops (generally about -20 degrees)? Can school bus drivers navigate their routes with proper traction and visibility? Is the timing of the weather event such that city crews will not have time to plow or treat main roads? Parents, you know your children best. If you are concerned for your children's safety getting to and from school or activities, we respect your right to keep them home. When Reynoldsburg City Schools CLOSE:
School closings or delays will appear first on my Twitter feed. You can follow me at @REYNSupt, but please know that while I appreciate good-natured tweets from students begging me for a day off, they play absolutely no factor in my decision making process. Also, Twitter posts from local weathermen making predictions about the chances of having a snow day are made to increase their social media traffic and have no credibility. For more information about school policies, please visit www.reyn.org. To stay up-to-date on school delays and cancellation alerts, check our website often and follow the District and your schools on social media. If you have any questions, feel free to reach out to me directly. Sincerely, Melvin J. Brown Superintendent Reynoldsburg City Schools

Dear Herbert Mills STEM Families, Over the next two weeks we will be holding a food drive for Reynoldsburg's Helping Hands Food Pantry. We will not have any type of competition, we just invite interested families to donate to this vital organization that helps families right here in Reynoldsburg. There is a box in the school entryway for donations. We will be delivering the items to Helping Hands on Wednesday, December 20 (the last day of school before winter break). Please see the attached flyer for more infomation about what types of items the food pantry most needs. Thank you and have a great weekend! Sincerely, Mrs. Maryellen Weeks, Principal Mr. Chris Cracraft, Student Support Specialist
Dear Herbert Mills STEM Families,
Please join us next Wednesday, December 20 (the last day of school before winter break), from 4–8 p.m. at Five Guys Burgers & Fries on Rte. 256 in Reynoldsburg. (This is not the same Five Guys location we were at last year!) Our PTO is having a restaurant night fundraiser – celebrate winter break by taking a break from cooking and let Five Guys take care of dinner for you! Any time from 4–8 p.m., mention Herbert Mills when ordering and Five Guys will donate 20% of the proceeds back to our PTO. Please see attached flyer for more information (you do not need to bring the flyer with you to Five Guys; just let them know you are with Herbert Mills). This is good for all orders – eat in or carry out! Pass the word to family and friends! We hope to see you at Five Guys next week! Sincerely, Miss Allison McMannis PTO Vice-President (614) 367-2160 Dear Herbert Mills STEM Families,
After a relatively mild fall, it looks like cold weather is finally here! Please remember that we have outdoor recess if the temperature/wind chill factor is 20 degrees or higher. Please be sure to send your student to school with a warm winter coat, hat, scarf, and gloves so they do not have to sit in the office while their classmates are playing outside. Please keep in mind that the school doors do not open until 7:55 a.m. If you drop your student off before that time in cold weather, remember that they will need to wait outside the building until 7:55. If your children are missing any winter weather gear, please ask them to check our Lost & Found – it is full! Sincerely, Mrs. Mary Ellen Weeks, Principal (614) 367-2160 |
