ALL SCHOOLS CLOSED ON JANUARY 14 & 18 | CIERRE DE TODAS LAS ESCUELAS EL 14 Y 18 DE ENERO

Dear Reynolds School District Families,

This is an important message to let you know that all Reynolds School District schools will be closed on Friday, January 14, 2022, and Tuesday, January 18, 2022 for emergency closure.  All after-school programming is cancelled, with the exception of sports practices and competitions which will continue as normal.

The decision to close schools is difficult and takes into consideration many different factors, with safety being the highest priority.  During the increased cases of the COVID-19 omicron variant and resulting absences due to illness, we have worked diligently to provide in-person instruction for students.  We continually monitor staffing levels necessary to provide a safe and structured learning environment.  We anticipate severe staffing shortages on Friday, January 14, and Tuesday, January 18, which may not allow us to safely operate schools.  As a reminder, Monday, January 17 is a regularly scheduled no-school day due to the MLK Day holiday.  We are confident that staffing levels will allow us to resume in-person learning on Wednesday, January 19, 2022.  

We will continue to provide curbside meals for students (only) on Friday, January 14 and Tuesday, January 18.  Students may pick up meals at their closest school location in the district from 11:30am to 12:30pm.  

We understand this can be a hardship for our families, and we apologize for any inconvenience.  We look forward to seeing students back in school on Wednesday, January 19, 2022 at their regularly scheduled time.  

Thank you,

Reynolds School District
