    THE RENAISSANCE GOAL
     
    The mission of the Renaissance Program at Canyon Hills Junior High School is to acknowledge the educational achievements and outstanding contributions of students and staff members through a process of reinforcement, recognition and reward. Renaissance also strives to promote and improve partnerships with parents and the community, involving everyone in the education of our youth.

    AWARD
     
    Renaissance Rallies: These high-energy rallies are a celebration of Coyotes' excellence and achievement. These rallies, held at the end of each grading period, are a way to honor students' academic accomplishments with excitement and escapade.
     
    Students Recognition Breakfast: Once every six weeks, teachers invite a single student to our recognition breakfast. At these events, the student is introduced by their teacher and recognized for a variety of reasons such as "Most Improved", "Good Citizenship", "Good Attitude", "Academic Success", etc.
     
    Student of the Month: Each month, every teacher chooses a student to honor. These students receive tangible awards as we recognize their success.
     
    Postcards: Positive notes are sent home by staff to communicate noteworthy behaviors and accomplishments to parents.
     
     
    ACKNOWLEDGE
     
    Positive Phone Calls Home: Teachers must submit names of students exhibiting positive Coyote attributes to administrators who then call home with good news.
     
    Adopt a Student: Teachers voluntarily adopt a student to mentor for an entire trimester to help them with their classes
     
    Silver Coyote: One 8th grade female and one 8th grade male student is selected each year based on character, integrity, respect for others, Grade Point Average and extracurricular involvement.
     
    Perfect Attendance: All 8th grade students that have not missed a full day of school during their two years at Canyon Hills will receive perfect attendance recognition.
