Picture Day This Week!
Elementary Campus
September 20, 12:00-1:00am
September 21, 9:30-1:30pm
We are encouraging all students, both blended and virtual to have their picture taken for our yearbook. This allows us to accurately represent our student body as a whole.
Athens Renaissance uses student pictures internally on student programs and profiles to help make connections and recognize students. We also compose a yearly yearbook of enrolled students to represent our student enrollment. Please come have your picture taken at one of the times listed above. Virtual students can come to either campus during the set times. No appointment is needed.
3 Weeks Until the End of the Quarter
Look through the "Grades" in Schoology to make sure your student is up to date on all work. The end of the quarter is in 3 weeks and students need to have all work up to date.
Fall Break is October 9-13th.

Lunch Payment
This is the preferred and highly recommended form of payment for lunch. This makes the lunch process flow much smoother and money is not being hand collected and passed to the lunchroom at another campus. This also allows you to check and monitor your student's lunch account. Thank you for helping make this process as easy as possible.
Car Line: Please read.
- Please do not get out of your car to drop off or pick up your student. If you need to exit the car to help them, please park and walk them to the door. Or load them up, pull into the parking lot, park, and then buckle them in. The carline should move quickly.
- Please enter through East Street and not by Julian Newman construction site.
- Make sure when dropping off your student that you pull all the way up and not to stop right in front of the school if there is a line of cars behind you.
- Make sure any car picking up your student has a visible car tag provided by ARS.
- Please do not drop your student off earlier than 15 minutes before class start time.
