Dunellen High School Renaissance Program

September 15, 2008

I am pleased to announce to the students and parents of Dunellen High School that our Renaissance Program has been rejuvenated and is back better than ever!  The Renaissance Program is a nationally recognized program created by the Jostens Company to recognize positive performances with positive rewards.  We will be using ideas from the program, along with ideas generated here in Dunellen, to provide our students with incentives that will help them achieve their goals.

The program in place has a series of incentives that will be graded each marking period.  Students who qualify will receive the designated rewards.  All of our incentives are designed to improve academic performance, attendance and behavior.  Through a system of attainable rewards we are hopeful of improving the culture of our school and encouraging our students to compete, achieve and succeed. 

We are hopeful that with students, parents, teachers and administrators all working together, our students will be able to reach their goals and achieve the success that we all desire.  I hope that all of you will all celebrate the “Renaissance in Learning” taking place at Dunellen High School.
