Reed City High School was briefly placed into secure mode this morning to minimize class disruption and maximize student privacy while allowing Administrators, MOISD Staff, and School Resource Officer to safely manage a student situation. Students and staff were not under any direct threat.

Today is a 1/2 day at RCAPS. Please see dismissal times below: G.T. - 11:45 A.M. MS/HS - 11:30 A.M.
