REYNOLDSBURG CITY SCHOOLS Our Reynoldsburg Schools Community recognizes the benefits of travel to developing a well-rounded student education. Not only does travel allow students authentic practice on their language skills, but it can be extremely important for college admissions, career opportunities, and personal development. With that in mind, we will be proposing the following trips to the Board of Education for the 2018-2019 school year. Our goal would be to offer similar trips on a year to year basis, in order to allow as many students as possible this amazing opportunity to travel. Below is a menu of travel options that will be proposed for Board approval for the 201819 school year. For more information about individual trips, please contact the teachers listed below.
