Thanksgiving Feast at REMS:

We are so thrilled to welcome back our traditional Thanksgiving Meal at REMS on November 15th during your student's designated lunch time. Please use the QR code below to pay for your meal. Students will pay from their lunch accounts the day of the meal. Due to ordering and space available in the cafe, please keep RSVPs to one family member per household.  We look forward to celebrating this special day together as a community! 



Attendance Reminder:


We care deeply about our students’ educational success as valued members of our Crew.  One of the key components to a child’s educational success is consistent attendance at school.   In fact, did you know a  student is considered chronically absent if they are currently missing more than 10% of the school year?  While we realize there are a variety of circumstances that can create a need for your child to be absent, we want to remind parents that absences of a personal nature should be limited and taken during scheduled breaks.  We are noticing a high number of students missing school for prearranged vacations/time off during school.

Please ensure that your student(s) is arriving and in their seat before the 8:40 am tardy bell.  We consistently have 30-40+ students coming in after the tardy bell on a daily basis.  Late arrivals can be disruptive to our students and their crews. 

Please see the REMS Attendance page on the website for details.  Thank you for your understanding and support!

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.

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.
