Our Weekly News!
Be PROUD - What a way to end the week - our kids, staff and families showed up for the Fun Run and I could not be more proud of the way we represented Reed City Area Public Schools - LEADING THE PACK!
Parents you can sign students out after the Fun Run however they will need to walk back with their class and be signed out at the office. That way we can make sure they are leaving with adults they are allowed to leave with.
🐾 Coyote Fun Run is TOMORROW! 🐾
Tomorrow is one of our students’ favorite days — the G.T. Norman PTO Coyote Fun Run! ❤️🖤
The Fun Run is our ONE school-wide fundraiser for the entire year, and 100% of the money raised goes right back to our students! These funds help pay for field trips, assemblies, special guests, student activities, and other fun experiences throughout the year.
Every donation makes a difference. Even a small amount helps! When our whole Coyote community comes together, those small donations can add up to something BIG.
Most importantly, our students LOVE Fun Run Day! It is a wonderful chance to get outside, have fun, and celebrate together as a school. 🐾
Thank you to our G.T. Norman PTO and all of our families for supporting our Coyotes!

Just a heads-up that Wednesday, September 2nd after school, Osceola County will be conducting a workshop at Reed City High School. As part of the workshop, multiple emergency vehicles will be on site.
There is no emergency, and no action is needed. We simply wanted our families and community to be aware in advance so there is no cause for concern if you see an increased emergency vehicle presence at the high school.

Parents,
Thank you for your patience as we figure out our pick-up and drop-off locations.
If you have multiple pick-up locations and you want to make a different plan, please let the office know, so that we can direct your children where they need to go.
Remember that the only place to drop off students on Lincoln Ave is at the valet location on the west end of the building. Adults will open doors, please have your children practicing unbuckling.
If you arrive at school after 8:00 am, you must bring your student to the office and sign them in.
If you have any questions, call the office @ 231-832-5548.
We are still enrolling students - however you will need to enroll them online and then we will reach out to you - after that we will assign them a class and then they can attend.
