Welcome Back!
Principal Message - August 2026
Dear Roadrunner Families ~
On behalf of the Renton Park Learning Community, I am excited to welcome you to the 2026–2027 school year! I hope your family enjoyed a wonderful summer and is ready for an amazing year ahead.
This year, our theme is “Level Up Learning: Where Intention Meets Impact.” Like a great game, learning requires a clear mission, strong skills, persistence, teamwork, and opportunities to try again. Together, we will help every Roadrunner understand what they are learning, recognize what success looks like, and take pride in their progress—one level at a time.
At Renton Park, our vision remains steadfast: ensuring EVERY child, EVERY day, in EVERY classroom and environment is engaged in high-quality learning experiences. Our Office Team is busy welcoming and registering families, our Custodial Team has worked tirelessly to prepare clean and safe learning spaces, and our teachers and staff are thoughtfully planning meaningful learning experiences for our students.
We are grateful for your partnership as we begin this new school year. Together, we will encourage our students to embrace challenges, celebrate growth, and keep moving forward—every mission, every level, every Roadrunner.
GAME ON!
Below are a few important dates/info to tuck away as we begin the year:
Classroom assignments will be available via Skyward Thursday, August 20th.
Join us at Renton Park Elementary to enjoy a popsicle, meet our staff, and learn your child’s class assignment! This year’s event will also include the exciting GRAND OPENING of our brand-new soccer mini-pitch, made possible by the RAVE Foundation—the charitable arm of Seattle Sounders FC—and Providence Swedish.
Come enjoy soccer, giveaways, a special appearance by Sammy the Sounder, and plenty of family fun as we celebrate this wonderful new space with our Roadrunner community!

Renton Schools provides school supplies for all elementary and middle school students right in classrooms at the start of the school year. Families pay a low, one-time fee of $30 per student ($10 per student for families on free/reduced lunch) for enough school supplies for the entire school year (backpacks and lunchboxes not included). Families who wish can continue to bring their own school supplies. High school students will continue to provide their own school supplies.
Families can pay the one-time fee of $30 per student through their Online Payment account or at their school.
Families can find their students’ school bus routes and pick-up and drop-off times in several ways this school year. School bus routes will be ready to view on Monday, August 17.
- Login to your Family Skyward Access account and click the Transportation button (remember to log into each student’s account to find their individual bus routes and pick-up/drop-off times)
- Download the MyRideK-12 app to your cell phone at https://myridek12.tylerapp.com/. This app will also allow families to receive real-time messages about changes to their school bus routes through the school year.
- Contact Transportation Office at Transportation.Routing@rentonschools.us or call 425.204.4455
Important Rules for Riding a School Bus
- Students should be at designated stop location five (5) minutes prior to the scheduled arrival of the bus. School and transportation schedules will not allow drivers to remain at a stop location waiting for students to arrive.
- Kindergarten/preschool students will not be allowed off the bus without a parent/guardian present. To have your student dropped off with a sibling or other authorized adult, complete this release form and give it to your school bus driver.
