Renaissance School Year Student and Family Engagement Kits
Overview:
The Ratkaj Designs team has worked with Renaissance Learning for several years on these annual engagement kits. Up until recently, Renaissance typically produced these kits only for the summer months in an effort to help educators engage students and their families by encouraging reading and math practice to help curb the “summer slide.”
The Renaissance team knew that this same type of engagement kit would work for the seasons of the school year as well — so here we are!
Similar to the Summer Engagement Kits, these kits offer a wide range of resources tailored to each Renaissance product: Accelerated Reader, Renaissance Freckle, Renaissance Lalilo, and Renaissance myON. All of these resources—editable letters to families, student login cards and practice log templates, student certificates, and DIY challenge ideas build and maintain math and reading engagement—are all hyperlinked for easy educator access.
Because these kits are more educator-focused than the summer kits, the design followed suit—focusing on teachers and administrative staff in photos instead of students, and a cleaner design approach where Renaissance’s branding took center stage over a specific theme. As these particular kits are text-heavy, our team opted for as much white space and call-out columns as possible, using simple changes in color to add some dimension to the pieces.
With so many great resources for educators to utilize and share with their students, we’re excited to play a small part in the student and family engagement for any school or district using Renaissance solutions!
