A Note from Ms. Monica:

Save the date!  Monday, May 1st is National College Decision Day, the day when high school students around the country make their final decision on where they will attend college in the fall.  To celebrate at Renaissance, we will have a "wear your college gear" day on May 1st as we recognize post-secondary opportunities available to our students later on in their lives.  So get your college gear ready to wear, Crew!

Showcase Volunteers Needed: May 10th and May 24th. 
What is Showcase? Our 3rd and 6th-grade crews have the opportunity to share their learning experiences with a panel of Staff/Parent Volunteers. This is a huge celebration for our students and a fantastic opportunity for you to get a look at the growth that takes place during their journey at REMS. Don't worry if you haven't done it before, you will be paired up with a staff member who can help you walk through the process and support these kiddos in sharing their stories. It is a fun, crew/community building opportunity that you do not want to miss out on! 2nd and 5th grade parents are especially encouraged to volunteer so you can see what your kids will be doing next year. Please sign up to help!!! SPRING SHOWCASES
