*********************************************************************
2025 - 2026 School Year
Parents,
I am your student's Middle School Science Teacher and High School Edgenuity Science Teacher of Record.
This is my 30th year teaching and my 22nd year at Renaissance Academy.
High School students will have online science courses on the Edgenuity platform. They need to pay attention to the instruction and take notes to use on their quizzes and tests. They can do the Edgenuity program on their cell phones while they are away from school.
Middle school can be a difficult time for most students. Keys to help you be successful are: Stay Organized; Ask For Help; Study Every Night; Take Notes; Stay Out of Drama; and Do Your Best Work!
We are here to help you be successful, but you have to do your share to succeed!
This is a NEW YEAR! Act like it!
Please feel free to contact your teachers and ask for help! Communication is the key!
Classroom Supplies: Besides being in dress code, a notebook and notebook paper, buy a simple set of subject dividers and bring one wooden pencil. Donations of facial tissue, wooden pencils, and colored pencils are always welcome.
