RMS Summer School Updates
Free summer meals
The Fulton County School Nutrition Program recognizes the important role that school meals play in combating childhood hunger. To meet the needs of our students & children in the community, we will continue to provide nutritious meals even when school is not in session!
Students attending face-to-face summer school or Pre-K will receive free breakfast and lunch meals during their school’s scheduled mealtimes.
For children not attending face-to-face summer school, Summer Curbside service provides an opportunity for families to drive through and pick up FREE Meal Kits for children 18 and under, or those under 21 with special needs.
Meal Kits will include a weeks’ worth of meals. Meal Kits contain a variety of kid-friendly choices such as whole-grain rich breakfast cereals, 100% fruit juice, assorted fresh fruits and vegetables, and low-fat milk.
Summer Curbside service will kick off on Wednesday, June 9th at 20 school sites throughout the district. Summer Curbside sites will be open on Wednesdays from 8:30-9:30 AM.
Families can pick up from any Summer Curbside location. However, to assist with our planning and more evenly distribute participation across these 20 sites, we are encouraging families to pick up meal kits Seaborn Lee Elementary School. Please see the pick-up info below.

Register for FCS summer school
RMS Parents,
We are excited to announce that this year’s summer school program is not a “re-do”, but instead, it is a “reboot!” This year’s program has been revamped and expanded to accommodate the various needs of our scholars. The criteria for summer school is as follows:
- Students who would like to retake a year-long World Language course to clear an incomplete or recover credit with Fulton Virtual
- Students with two or more WF’s, F’s, and/or two or more Incompletes in core content areas (ELA, Math, Science, or Social Studies). Students attending summer school because of incompletes or F’s in Science or Social Studies should register for Reading/ELA.
- Teacher recommendation- students identified through i-Ready Diagnostic for enrichment (students have received a special invitation from the school through the mail)
- Current 8th graders who will be rising to 9th graders next school year are eligible to take acceleration with Fulton Virtual
Summer school dates are June 7th – June 24th, and the hours for face-to-face instruction are 8:55 AM – 12:55 PM (Monday-Friday). Breakfast and lunch will be provided. Transportation is available, but the assigned stops are limited to the Sweep Bus routes. Registration deadline is May 24, 2021. You may register your scholar for summer school at the following website: https://fultonsummer.geniussis.com. Additionally, for your reference, here is a link with step by step instructions for how to register your scholar for his/her assigned summer school classes, Summer School Registration Guidelines.
Because our school building will be under construction this summer, the summer school program for Renaissance Middle School will be held at Camp Creek Middle School in Atlanta, Georgia.
IREADY END OF YEAR DIAGNOSTIC
Greeting Wildcat Family!
The Spring iReady Diagnostic is here until May 21, 2021. Parents, we need your support with ensuring that your scholar does his or her very best and completes this assessment during the allotted time. Your scholar’s performance on the spring diagnostic will help determine his or her need for summer school as well as placement for Math and ELA courses next school year. Again, please encourage your scholar to do his or her very best on both the Reading and Math diagnostic.
RMS Is Proud to offer intro to African-American/ Black studies
Greetings Parents/Guardians,
Renaissance Middle School is proud to announce an addition to our high school course offerings! The additional course, Intro to African American/Black Studies, will be a history elective offered to rising 8th grade scholars.

Current issues and controversies within the African American/Black community are also presented.
Current 7th grade scholars who would like to take this year-long course during the 2021-2022 school will also take the required 8th grade GA Studies, for the GA Milestone requirement, course; however, upon successful completion of the course will receive one (1) high school history credit.
