Watch DOGS!
Thank you to everyone who came out to make our Watch DOGS Pizza Night a success! We had lots of dads that were able to make it and sign up for their day to come volunteer at Rennell. If you were not able to make it and are interested in spending the day with your student, please follow the direction on the page.
Any dad that wants to come and volunteer must sign up through the district site: https://apps.raptortech.com/Apply/MzYxOmVuLVVT
Adventure Dash Fundraiser
Thank you SO MUCH for your amazing support of our students and school! Your generosity has put us well above our goal of $50,000! Donations from businesses that match employee donations are still coming in - but we estimate that we have reached just at
$65,000!!!!
We are so excited to use this money for an electronic marquee, to get some flexible seating options, and to bolster our literacy library! Thank you so much for your support!!!

Morning Arrival for Before School Activities
- If dropping off, please pull up to the curb and have your child get out and walk themselves to the front door.
- If walking your child in, please utilize a parking spot so that your stopped car does not prevent other cars from being able drop off their students and pull away.
- If you are dropping off your child for school in our car rider line, and you arrive prior to 8:30, please stop your car at the end of the covered walkway so there is plenty of room for morning drop-offs for these before school clubs and activities.
