Attention 8th-12th grade students and parents: Hello Coyotes!
We hope that everyone is adjusting well to the new school year and all the changes that it has brought. As you may have heard, we are excited to share that we want to offer an opportunity to Reed City students to participate in an Educational Travel experience to Europe in 2022. It feels good to talk about something exciting--something that we can look forward to after the COVID era has passed.
We wanted to reach out with this exciting opportunity while also remaining sensitive to what's happening in the world. Due to restrictions on holding large meetings in person, We have had an idea to host a virtual meeting so that a tour can still happen in two years for your students when COVID-19 is no longer affecting travel.
We will be hosting a virtual info meeting on Wednesday, October 7th at 6 PM where we will discuss details like EFβs Safety Protocol and how they are supporting groups this year, exciting itinerary details, affordable payment options, and more! This meeting isnβt requiring that you travel, but why not learn about something fun and exciting while you have some time at home with your student.
You may already know that we have an educational tour scheduled for May of 2021 to Ireland and Scotland, and another tour to Italy and Greece in June of 2021. This tour will be for the summer of 2022, and will be a completely new destination--including Germany, Italy, Switzerland, and Austria! This is an amazing tour, and priced well below the cost of the tours for 2021!! We will go over all of the details at the meeting, and will help you choose the best option for you and your family, should this once-in-a-lifetime experience be of interest to you. And yes--families can go, too! We have had many parents, grandparents, aunts, and uncles travel with our students.
Please register to receive the meeting link by following this link: http://bit.ly/2G9zYZR
If you cannot attend the online meeting, please let us know, and we will find a time to go over all of the details with you. There will be a significant discount for signing up the first week of enrollment, and we don't want anyone to miss out on that. Get in touch with us right away if you have questions!
Best,
Katrina Wray

We will be offering Speed/Conditioning Training for all high school athletes on Sundays from 5:30-6:30pm on the band practice field adjacent to the middle school parking lot. We will be COVID screening all participants based on guidelines from the MHSAA. This is for incoming 9th graders-12th graders at this time. As restrictions are reduced, we may open it up to middle schoolers as well. Please plan on the following dates: June 14, 21, 28. July 12, 19,26 and August 2nd.
If we have heavy rains/storms, we will need to cancel. As of this time, we can't go indoors if we are experiencing bad weather, however that may change.
We are hoping this will be a time for our kids to work on getting back into condition and also spend some time with their teammates and friends. Please email Kris Griffin with any questions at kgriffin@reedcityschools.org or contact your coach. Thank-you everyone!

https://5il.co/gso8

This is the new Health Questionnaire form that students who had a valid sports physical in 2019-20 (completed on or after April 15, 2019) can complete with required signatures to meet the pre-participation health status for 2020-21. This is in response to COVID-19 recognizing that it may be difficult for our students to obtain their athletic physicals. If you wish, you can still schedule a physical with your physician, but it wonβt be required this year as long as the health questionnaire is on file.
As new information is released to us regarding fall sports, we will keep you updated. We are still hoping that we may be able to do some athletic activities this summer.

A note from our kitchen staff:
SHARING THIS INFORMATION PLEASE READ!!!
REED CITY STUDENTS AND PARENTS!!
Hey, Friends. I know we didn't have a lot of time to get the word out about our meal program over shutdown. We had lots of left over breakfasts and lunches yesterday. A Skyward email was sent out yesterday around 5:30 explaining everything better. Can you please get the word out to anyone you may know that doesn't have internet access? We have a $7000 order from Gordon's Foods coming today so we can prep more meals to pass out at the high school from 12:30-3:00 on Friday. and deliver on the PM bus routes. We don't want ANY of it going to waste. I heard people say yesterday, "We don't necessarily need it and don't want to take from others that do." That's awesome and really thoughtful. But we have counted meals for every single child in the district, no matter what the household income is. Please take advantage of our resources. If you don't need it, please accept it and pass it along to someone you know who needs it.

This link will take you to a PDF version of the previously posted letter. Hopefully it will be a little better quality and easier to read.
https://5il.co/dqyp

Please see the attached letter about providing our community with both food delivery and pickup.
Also, it has not been announced yet, but we do have Twitter accounts and an APP for both Apple and Android. Please download today!
