Renaissance Families,

As we begin the 2^nd 9 weeks of the school year I want to update families on a change to our morning procedures.  Beginning October 24^th, backpacks will no longer be allowed at the Renaissance school.  All students will be limited to small string bookbags that will be provided by the Renaissance school (if a student loses his/her backpack they will be able to purchase a replacement for a nominal fee).  Female students will only be permitted to carry small purses no larger than a small book size.  This is being done in an effort to expedite our morning entry process and maintain a safe and secure school environment.  Thank you for ensuring that your student is complying with this new procedure.

Also, I want to remind everyone of a few key dress code concerns.  The middle school dress code was revised and will be in effect as students return to school on October 24th.  This was reviewed with all middle school students prior to Fall Break.  It will also be posted for parents on the Renaissance website.  The dress code policy is similar to its previous form, but has been streamlined and clarified.  As a reminder to our high school and middle school students and their families, hats and headcoverings, leggings and flip-flops, slippers, or house shoes are not appropriate school attire for any student at the Renaissance school.  Students not following dress code may not be allowed to attend class until they are in compliance.

I hope the fall break has been a time of rest and renewal for you and your family.  If you have any questions, please feel free to contact us with any questions at 532-2975.

Sincerely,

Matt Dingman
Director of Alternative Education
