If you haven't already done so, please send your school supplies in with your child:
School Supply Lists:
Safety is always our top priority! Adventure Education Voyage safety begins with ensuring all students have a current physical. Physical Forms are valid for 365 days. If your child already has a current physical from within the past year—and their activity falls within that 365-day window—you’re all set! However, students new to RSS must still submit a copy of their Sports Physical Form to the school, whether it’s newly completed or dated within the past 365 days.
⭐⭐⭐Action Item: Each family should complete and return this physical form as soon as possible, prior to their voyage.⭐⭐⭐
___________________________________________________________________________
🚨 Attention 8th & 11th Grade Families! 🚨
Our 8th and 11th grade students head out on overnight voyages shortly after school begins,
so be sure to get your student’s physical form completed as soon as possible!
Say Cheese!
Lifetouch will be at our school August 19th for school picture day. Put on your best smiles!
Pre-ordering can be done online at mylifetouch.com using your student ID number or Picture Day ID: EVT262MVZ

Carpool Information
Renaissance Secondary School has teamed up with Way to Go to offer Schoolpool, a carpool matching service. Schoolpool connects neighboring families who may be a good fit for driving, walking or biking to school together.

Each Renaissance Secondary student is required to bring a Chromebook-level device and charger to school each day to support learning.
If providing a device presents a financial hardship, families may request to borrow a school-issued Chromebook for the year.

Lunch is on the house!
School lunch at Renaissance is provided free* of charge to all students through DCSD Nutrition Services, with additional à la carte items available for purchase. We encourage all families to complete the Free and Reduced-Price Meal Application—even if you don’t think you qualify—as it helps support school funding and can provide additional benefits like fee waivers. You’ll also find helpful links on our website for the weekly menu and dietary accommodations.
*Student meals are currently free through Colorado’s Healthy Meals for All program, but funding may change based on November ballot initiatives.
