Dear Reynoldsburg City Schools Staff, Students and Families,
Welcome to a new school year! Whether you are returning or joining our District for the first time, thank you for being a vital part of Reynoldsburg City Schools.
Our theme this year is Anything Is Possible. Every day, you inspire curiosity, build relationships, and help students discover their potential. You truly make the impossible possible, and together, we are shaping futures.
Our Strategic Plan continues to guide our work, and I encourage everyone to keep our core values at the center of all that we do. They aren't just words on paper. They are the foundation of the culture we are building together.
- Belonging: We believe in fostering a respectful, collaborative environment where everyone feels safe, welcome, and valued.
- Accountability: We hold each other accountable for actions and behavior through clear communication.
- Adaptability: We embrace a growth mindset, allowing us to respond to challenges, adapt, and succeed in diverse environments.
This year, we are introducing a couple of new programs that the community will be able to participate in. Our Stellar Staff Employee Recognition Program, a new way to celebrate the incredible work happening across our District, will kick off in September. Parents, students and staff will be able to nominate and recognize the staff who go above and beyond for students and each other. More information on this is coming soon.
Another new opportunity is Get What You Need with Dr. Reed LIVE! My first session was at the Tomato Festival and I’ll be in JFK Park on Friday, October 2, 2026, at noon to talk with the community. Bring lunch, and let’s have some great discussions!
Our first home football game is Friday, September 4, 2026. Homecoming is the week of September 21-26 with the theme Myths & Legends and our annual Principal for a Day is Tuesday, September 29, 2026. These are just a few of the exciting things we have planned in the first full month of the year.
Your voice matters, and the best ideas often come from the people doing the work every day. I encourage you to share your thoughts, ideas, and feedback with leadership or reach out to me directly at superintendent@reyn.org any time. We are strongest when we work together, learn from one another, and continue building a culture of collaboration and trust.
Thank you for your passion, dedication, and commitment to helping every student thrive. When we support one another and believe in what's possible, Anything Is Possible.
Wishing you an incredible school year! #REYNProud
Sincerely,
Dr. Tracy R. Reed
Superintendent
Reynoldsburg City Schools
