Spring Break - All Fulton County Schools and Offices will be closed
All Fulton County Schools and offices will be closed for Spring Break, Monday, April 5th - Friday, April 9th. We look forward to seeing our scholars virtually on Monday, April 12th. Please be safe and remember to social distance!
Fulton County Schools hopes you have a fun-filled Spring Break. During this break, we are asking that you continue to report (1) a positive COVID-19 result (2) a direct-contact with the positive COVID-19 individual or (3) a pending COVID-19 test result to the Parent Report Portal https://www.fultonschools.org/ReportCOVID. Still, to manage expectations regarding COVID-19 reporting during said break, please be patient while you await a response, it may be a few days given that the FCBOH/FCS Health Services Team will be on holiday break as well.
Thank you and please stay safe.
Teacher Vaccination Days - Remote Learning For All Students April 12th - April 14th
All students will participate in live virtual sessions during these days unless otherwise stated by the teacher.
If you have any further questions or concerns, please contact the school at 470-254-4330.
Thank you!
Last Call: GA Milestones Opt-Out Survey
Greetings, Parents!
This school year our scholars will take the End of Grade and/or the End of Course test for the Georgia Milestones Assessment System. These assessments will be administered to students beginning April 30th through May 14th. Although these assessments will not be used as a gateway to the next grade, the results will be used to determine areas of strength and areas of growth. Additionally, they will help to determine placement levels for students for the next school year.
Unfortunately, we only had a third of our parents to complete the survey provided by the district to gauge the number of RMS students that will participate in the GMAS this school year. It is important that we have a survey completed for each scholar. If you did not have an opportunity to complete the survey from the district, we ask that you please take a moment to complete the survey that we have provided here in our Wildcat Weekly. The deadline to complete this GMAS Survey is April 16, 2021. Please complete one survey form for each child who attends Renaissance MS. The survey will take approximately 4 minutes to complete. If you have completed the testing survey provided by the district, we have your results and there is no need for you to complete this one. Again, this survey is only for parents who did not have a chance to complete the testing survey provided by the district. Your assistance and cooperation are greatly appreciated.

RMS Summer School Program
RMS Parents,
We are excited to announce that this year’s summer school program is not a “re-do”, but instead it is a “reboot!” This year’s program has been revamped and expanded to accommodate the various needs of our scholars. The criteria for summer school is as follows:
- Students who would like to retake a year-long World Language course to clear an incomplete or recover credit with Fulton Virtual
- Students with two or more WF’s, F’s, and/or two or more Incompletes in core content areas (ELA, Math, Science, or Social Studies). Students attending summer school because of incompletes or F’s in Science or Social Studies should register for Reading/ELA.
- Teacher recommendation- students identified through iReady Diagnostic for enrichment (students will receive a special invitation from the school)
- Current 8th graders who will be rising to 9th graders next school year are eligible to take acceleration with Fulton Virtual
Summer school dates are June 17th – June 24th, and the hours for face-to-face instruction are 8:55 AM – 12:55 PM (Monday-Friday). Breakfast and lunch will be provided. Transportation is available, but the assigned stops are limited to the Sweep Bus routes. Because our school building will be under construction this summer, the summer school program for Renaissance Middle School will be held at Camp Creek Middle School in Atlanta, Georgia.

RMS Yearbook Interest Flyer and Survey
Greetings Wildcat Family,
As you all can imagine, the pandemic has created some challenges with regards to putting together a 2020-2021 RMS Yearbook that is memorable, meaningful, and cost-effective. With the cancellation of many FCS Middle School Athletics and/or Clubs, the number of candid pictures that traditionally would be included in our yearbook has been eliminated. Although this is disheartening to myself, and probably you as well, I still believe that with your help we can create a yearbook that we will make us proud.
Therefore, I am requesting your help to ensure that we have high quality content in our 2020-2021 RMS Yearbook:
- Please email school-related candid (HD quality) photographs to Mr. Jason Stubbs, RMS Yearbook Coordinator, at stubbsj@fultonschools.org (i.e. scholars working at their work stations at home, exercising in PE class, creating school projects, etc).
- Provide a brief narrative and/or include a few words that explain the background of the photos and where the photo(s) were taken.
Additionally, please complete the RMS Yearbook Interest survey (http://bit.ly/318oRYm) to assist us with projecting the amount of yearbooks to create, at a cost of $40.00 or less, depending upon the number of yearbooks sold. Finally, I know that in spite of the circumstances, with your support, we can make this year's 2020-2021 RMS Yearbook memorable for our scholars and families. Thank you in advance.
