    Renaissance Program Overview

     

    Kingsway Regional Middle School is a proud Renaissance School. Partnering with local businesses, the community, and parents, this incentive program recognizes students for their hard work and effort in a variety of ways. The program highlights and rewards students with respect to the following areas: academics, behavior, attendance, community service, and after school participation. A celebration occurs each marking period once students qualify for the program; additionally, once students become members of the program, students are awarded their renaissance card to use in the community.
