Renaissance Academy was featured on News Channel 10 for the first day of school! RA is excited to kick off its 10 year with the students. It is going to be the best year yet!
Big Shout Out to Champion Academy for helping RA prepare for a new school year. This past week, Champion Academy participants volunteered their time to assemble orientation packets and RA swag bags for our new and returning families.
Thank you for all of your help!
Reminder! All students must be up-to-date with their immunizations within 10 days of returning to school or else they are unable to attend school per NYS law.
The Monroe County Department of Public Health wants to make sure families are aware of their free, back-to-school immunization clinics.
MCDPH provides all routine childhood immunizations at our clinic at 111 Westfall Rd., Rochester. They are also hosting a special series of Tdap/Meningitis clinics at our facility at 819 W. Main St., Rochester.
Appointments are required for all immunization services - see the flyer for information on how to schedule an appointment today!

Here at Renaissance Academy, we celebrate Black History this month and every month. This year's national theme for Black History Month is "black resistance." By providing equitable educational opportunities to our amazing students, we resist the structural and institutional racism still inherent in local and national educational systems. Our students matter. Black education matters. Please join us in empowering our students to continue to resist.
As we wrap up National School Choice Week, we want to thank all of our families for choosing RA! Please watch this quick video from Dr. Loury sending a message of gratitude.
