News from Renaissance



The Renaissance Community is leading Terracycle for our school!  This will start Friday during student lunches.  All items collected will raise money for our school and recycle items that would normally be found in a landfill.  Terracycle is company that recycles our "trash" into bags, park benches, purses, and many more items.  See the video below that introduces what we will be sending Terracycle.

Dance Tonight (3/16) Hosted by Dynamic Design


For Grades 6, 7 & 8


$3 to get in or $2 if you wear green!

Arrival and Dismissal from Dances!


Dances are held from 7 – 9 p.m.


Students will continue to enter through the gymnasium doors and sign themselves into the dance.


School Expectations (Safe, Achieving, Caring) remain at all evening events and that includes dances.


Dismissal from dances is the change. At the end of our dances chaperones and staff will walk students through the building to our front lobby. We will dismiss from there.


After all the parking lot changes we have noticed that the flow of traffic is natural and more light is provided. Safety is important and this change will be safer for all participants.


Please be prompt for pick up as staff and chaperones need to get home too. If your student does not have a ride home please don’t send them to our dances unless they have made arrangements before coming to the
dance.
