Welcome Back!
Welcome to Robert D. Reynolds School for the 2024-2025 school year! I hope that the summer brought you rest, relaxation and lots of family fun. We have missed the students and look forward to their return in September. There is so much to look forward to in the months ahead. Thank you in advance for your partnership; working together is key in fostering the best possible environment for student success.
The 2024-2025 theme, "Reynolds is Kind. Reynolds is Smart. We have Fun. We have Heart." was created by second grader, Ben Root. Kindergarten and First grade students had the opportunity to write and submit theme ideas in their classrooms in June. It was really exciting to see what they came up with independently. We are so thankful and truly inspired by the themes that our students submitted this year.
