TALON TALK
π¬ Principal's Message
Hello, Reynolds Families!
The first week back from the holiday break has been great! Students have figured out their way around campus so easily despite the mid-year classroom moves. The transition has gone really smoothly, and we're impressed with how quickly everyone has adjusted.
Construction Update
We're excited to share that construction is complete in our 300 hallway wing! This beautifully updated area of our building is now operational, and it looks fantastic. We want to extend our sincere gratitude to you, our families, for supporting the bond that makes all of these improvements possible. Your investment in our schools continues to create better learning environments for our students.
Maintaining Our Positive Learning Environment
As we start the new semester, we've been reinforcing expectations campus-wide. Students watched behavior expectation refresher videos during each class period on Thursday and Friday. These reminders help us maintain the positive, respectful learning environment we expect here at Reynolds and ensure everyone starts the semester on the same page.
Thank You for Car Line Patience
A huge thank you for your patience with our car line procedures. We know the changes have required adjustments to your daily routine, and we truly appreciate your cooperation. Safety is always our top priority, and your support and adherence to the system we've put in place helps keep our students safe every single day.
Please check out our graphic below with all of our logistical adjustments that we have made over the last few days to ensure we can continue to have a safe and effective arrival and dismissal process.
We are looking forward to this semester and continuing to work together so that all our students experience growth and success!
Dr. Jess Mullins
Principal, Reynolds Middle School
