Renaissance Community School for the Arts Elementary School

It has been a very productive first Trimester at RCIS! Right before Thanksgiving break we celebrated all of the handwork of our students with a STEM Parade and our first monthly PBIS PRIDE Assembly. Perseverance is our first PRIDE value which means "to keep on trying even when it is hard" and each classroom teacher choose one student who has been showing that PRIDE value since September. We also awarded the students who have had perfect attendance!

Our incredible STEM Teacher, Mrs. Jordan, has created a Video Production Room here at RCIS.
