Van Rensselaer Elementary Hosts Kindergarten Moving-Up Ceremony

Today, Van Rensselaer Elementary School proudly hosted its annual Kindergarten Graduation ceremony, celebrating the young scholars of the Class of 2026.

Families, faculty, and staff gathered to applaud our students as they walked across the stage to receive their moving-up certificates. This milestone event marks the conclusion of a highly memorable and successful foundational year, officially setting these students on their path as the future high school graduating Class of 2038.

The Rensselaer City School District extends its warmest congratulations to all of today's young graduates and their families. We also share our deepest gratitude with our dedicated Kindergarten educators and school staff for providing a nurturing, positive environment that sets our students up for long-term academic and social success. We look forward to welcoming these bright smiles back as first graders this fall!
