REMS Staff has a BIG "Thank You":

A big thank you to our Kindergarten and 1st grade parents for all the goodies and sweet treats they donated to the staff today. The quotes from the students about why they love school were so precious!









Reminders from Ms. Trena:

THANK YOU PARENT CREW!

The Renaissance Staff and Parent Crew Board want to share their gratitude for the outpouring of support this year.  If you haven't started tracking your 40 hours yet, (or 60 for families with multiple students at REMS), please log in to Track-It Forward today!

If you're still looking for ways to get involved, especially for families who work during the school day, please reach out to the Renaissance Auction committee who need anything from sponsorships to phone calls & emails made, and more! This is our biggest fundraiser of the year, without which we cannot sustain the levels of support around our building and continue to supplement voyage costs!

There are also lots of little ways to support REMS that are deeply appreciated, with Staff Appreciation, Car Line support, and planning Student Showcase celebrations. (See a list of many opportunities here.)

Again, we deeply appreciate your commitment to volunteering at least 40 hours as a REMS family. Without you, we can't make the magic happen!

REMS Auction Fundraiser Returns April 23rd!

This time of the year brings a wealth of possibilities, new relationships to forge and opportunities to engage in Expeditionary adventures together.   Enclosed are a few norms to ground us in our work for the year:    -  Communication is a healthy two way street.   We appreciate your willingness to follow  the  C hannels of  C ommunication  first before escalating matters beyond our school.  Please reach out to your teacher first and then follow the channels for better results.  -  L et’s create a mutual agreement for respecting ‘family time’ outside of the school day.
