NEW! Note from Ms. Trena

This week we had the opportunity to meet with the DCSD Counseling Team to review how REMS is implementing Social Emotional Learning with our crews. They had a chance to walk through our classrooms to see how social emotional wellness is taught and how we live our core values to promote a sense of belonging for everyone.  The Counseling Team was so impressed with how comprehensive our programming is and the level of wrap-around support that Ms. Monica and Ms. Allison provides.  

I want to celebrate ðŸŽ‰Ms. Monica and Ms. Allison ðŸŽ‰for their unrelenting dedication to the social and emotional wellness of every student!  They are true examples of living within our Crew values and teaching our students the importance of empathy for others, perseverance of self in trying times, and operating with integrity.  Our crews are so grateful for Ms. Monica and Ms. Allison.  Thank you!
