 HAPPY FALL BREAK!

We'll see you on October 24th. Enjoy your two weeks off!

New! RAD News:

Renaissance Adventure Day: Way to go Crews! As of Friday morning, we had raised over $46k from ALL 50 STATES to help fund a new climbing wall, voyage transportation, and library and technology renewal! We also stuffed 281 bags for our service project through Soldiers' Angels.

A HUGE thank you to everyone who donated, shared, and volunteered to make this day a success! 











Bond Mill Levy Override News! 

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

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! Dismissal Procedures:

In order to make dismissal easier for everyone once we return from Fall Break, we are asking parents who use our Kiss and Go Line to place their students' names and crew in their windshield. The school will be sending home these plaques. Feel free to use these or homemade ones.

NEW! Battle of the Books:

If your child is interested in participating in Battle of the Books, practices will begin October 27th, the first Thursday after Fall Break. Practices will be Thursdays after school from 4-5pm this year. Please see Ms. Cari or Ms. Erin before 10/27 if you are interested in participating.

NEW! News from our Parent Crew:

Climbing is one of the most important pieces of our Adventure Education program, but it doesn't happen without parent volunteer support! Sign up HERE to attend Mr. Doug's belay training.

Welcome Back Crew! We are so excited to kick off a new school year together as Crew here at REMS NEWS from Ms. Trena: Dear Parents,  As we begin this 24-25 school year, know that our staff are dedicated and beyond excited to welcome your child and family to our crew. 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.
