The purpose of the Renaissance
Incentive Program is to recognize with tangible incentives and rewards those
students who have achieved academic excellence, or are working to improve
academically, have demonstrated good citizenship, or have perfect
attendance. It is an attempt to motivate all students to strive for
excellence with a new commitment to their educational success. Renaissance
is more than a program; it is an attitude that everyone can be successful in
school whether it is in citizenship or academics. |
