Dear Roadrunner Families ~
Highlights from last week included:
- Individual Picture Day!
- Staff participating in various training opportunities on Friday to deepen their learning and sharpen their craft of teaching.
This month we will continue working on:
- Getting deeper into learning! Check out specific classroom newsletters/Teacher communication to learn more.
Below are a few important dates/info to tuck away as we begin the year:
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.
Each week I will pose a question for you to consider discussing as a family. I would LOVE to hear how it's going so feel free to stop me and share you experience.
NOTE: I'll be bringing these to my family as well :).
Question to discuss as a family this week: What rule do you find hardest to follow at school? At home? What makes it so hard to follow?
We need to hear from you! Please complete the questions below about Back-to-School night. Information collected from this survey will help us plan for future back-to-school events.

In addition to Disability Awareness month, here at Renton Park we are also celebrating National Hispanic Heritage month from September 15 - October 15. During this window students are engaged in conversations that recognize the contributions and the important presence of Hispanic and Latin Americans within the United States.
Ask your child about what they're learning!
If your child wears glasses, please make sure they bring them to school and have them available during screening.
Feel free to reach out to Nurse Franklin at keri.franklin@rentonschools.us with any questions.
October is National Disability Month! This is a perfect time to remember that we are a public school where we serve, celebrate and support EVERY student that enters our school doors. Each child is unique and is working on their own individual learning goals. For examples, some students are learning to read, write, and grow in their math skills while others are learning how to be safe with friends while others are learning how to do life skills such as daily routines, jobs, feeding themselves, toileting, etc.
Here at Renton Park we strongly believe in ensuring every student is SEEN and CELEBRATED for who they are and the uniqueness we each bring. Join us this month (and every month) in teachable moments about tolerance, empathy and acceptance as they surface.

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.
