December 12, 2017
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
