NEW! 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!


Apple Award Nominations: 🍏🍎

Please consider nominating your favorite staff member for an Apple Award to show your appreciation and celebrate their commitment to our students! Here is the link for nominations! 

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.
