Dear Roadrunner Families ~
Highlights from the week include:
- Students in Ms. Narvaja and Ms. Culley's class visiting Lindbergh High School for their monthly swim experience.
- Classroom Teachers spending Friday's planning time working collaboratively with Instructional and SEL Support Staff as well as SPED Teachers to dig into student data (reading and math) to determine specific next steps for learning.
This month we will continue working on:
- Creating Identity Profiles in various forms (pictures, words, etc.) to share things about ourselves that are visible and invisible. This will be a tool used when getting to know others and celebrating ways we are alike and different.
- Establishing learning communities in the classrooms. That may look/sound like getting to know students and their strengths through interviews and assessments.
- Getting deeper into learning! Check out specific classroom newsletters/Teacher communication to learn more.
Question to ask your student this week: What is one thing you can do to help someone "fit in" with your class?
Below are a few important dates/info to tuck away as we begin the year:
Join us for a FREE movie night TONIGHT, Friday Sept 27 at 6pm.
Where: Renton Park Cafe
Time: Doors open at 6:00, Movie begins promptly at 6:15pm.
Bring Your Own low-back chair/blanket for seating along with any other movie-watching favorites (school-appropriate snacks, PJs, etc.). Concessions will be available for sale including pizza.
Entrance is FREE for all families. All students must attend with their responsible adult and remain with them the entire movie.
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.
