Here at Renton Park one of our goals is to ensure every child is SEEN and CELEBRATED!
Join us Wednesday, April 2 for World Autism Awareness Day by having your child wear the color BLUE! Why Blue? Because it is often associated with a calm feeling and acceptance in an otherwise loud and busy world for people on the spectrum.
This year's theme is "My Positive Autistic Identity" - focusing on embracing and uplifting the positive aspects of Autistic identity, empowering individuals to fully appreciate and take pride in their experiences.
Below are a few resources to share with your kiddos about why we recognize World Autism Awareness Day, not just on this day, but EVERY day!
We are beginning to work on our annual yearbook. We’d love to include all our Renton Park student’s photos in the yearbook. If you DO NOT want your child’s photo included, please email Jeff Day jeffrey.day@rentonschools.us by Friday, March 21 to opt out of yearbook photos. Families who do want their child’s photo in the yearbook do not need to respond.

Did you know spending just 5 minutes a day listening and talking to your children can have remarkable results? Having short, meaningful talks can build family bonds, give children a strong sense of support and self confidence, and strengthen their communication skills.
Question to discuss as a family this week: What is your favorite thing to do with your friends?

Thanks to a state and federal funding, Renton School District will again provide breakfast and lunch meals free to most students this school year. All students can eat school breakfast and lunches free except at Risdon Middle School, Hazen High and the H.O.M.E. program. Unfortunately, the federal Community Eligibility Provision formula left us unable to include these schools.
Important note: While not required for free school meals, families are strongly encouraged to complete this Child Nutrition and Education Benefit form to help students and families receive important resources like: before and after school academic and enrichment programs; resources for classrooms; guidance and college counselors; health and wellness services; state summer grocery debit cards (SunBucks), and more. Submit your completed form to RSD.mealform@rentonschools.us or drop off at your school.
