Castle Rock Region

Erin McDonald, @DougCoSchools Executive Director of Schools for the Castle Rock region shares how Castle Rock area schools are funded, and how those schools would benefit from additional dollars. https://youtu.be/Fm7KHe-VUxk


Bond Mill Levy Override News! 

This past Tuesday the Board of Education voted unanimously to place a $60M Mill Levy Override and $450M Bond on the November 2022 ballot. If passed by voters, an MLO would enable DCSD to provide pay that is more competitive with other school districts to retain teachers and staff. Should an MLO pass, DCSD teachers, on average, would receive a 9% pay increase, as reflected in these salary schedules. Classified staff members, such as bus drivers, educational assistants, custodians, etc., would receive a 9% increase. Other staff, including school principals and administrators, would receive a 6% pay increase.  A $450 million Bond would help DCSD construct three new neighborhood elementary schools and create additions to two existing middle schools to reduce crowding and plan for growth.



NEW! Battle of the Books:

If your child is interested in participating in Battle of the Books there will be a mandatory parent information meeting after school on October 4th in the library. Practices will be Thursdays after school from 4-5pm this year beginning with the first practice on October 27, 2022. Battles will begin at the local library the week of January 23, 2023.

NEW! A Note from the Front Office:

Beyblades on Campus:

In order to keep your Beyblades in top condition and ensure that they are not lost on the playground, please refrain from bringing them to school. Many friends have mourned the loss of their favorites. Don't let this happen to you! Keep them safe at home. 

Visitors in the Carline:

If you are having someone new drop off or pick up your student from school, please make sure they know the rules of the Kiss & Go line. It is helpful to have cars lined up all the way from the top of the hill to the corner so we can have maximum unloading/loading opportunities. When visitors refuse to move up their cars, it slows everyone else down.

October Count: 

Our October student count for the 22-23 school year is upon us!  It is crucial that all students are present at REMS on Monday, October 3, 2022 to ensure that we are able to get fully funded from the state for every student that is enrolled with us.  Please refrain from showing up late or scheduling early pick-ups for appointments on this day.  We greatly appreciate your support. 

  • Please remember to call our attendance line at (303) 387-8002 when your students are going to be absent.

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.
