Our Lost & Found is Being Donated

Our Lost & Found is slowly creeping down the hall. If you are missing something please make the time to come check next week. We will be donating all unclaimed items on Friday, December 9th. 

Elementary Progress Reports 

Elementary Progress Reports (EPRs) will be released to parents in the Parent Portal on Friday, December 23 at 9am.  This is an essential snapshot to view your child's current progress towards standards mastery in the first semester.  Our teachers spend a great amount of time reporting out on each child's progress on grade level expectations each semester.  Parents, please take a few minutes to review your child's progress for the 2022-23 school year. 

NEW! Staff Spotlight:

Get to know some of our amazing staff that's new at REMS this year! This week we spotlight Ms. Sam, our new adventure ed coordinator, and Ms. Hope our registrar and tech guru!

Meet Ms. Sam & Ms. Hope

NEW! A Note from Our Nurse:

We are well on our way into the cold weather season. Throw in the crazy wind and you have the ingredients to dry, chapped skin, face, lips, and hands (especially with all of the hand washing to keep away the germs)! Please send your student to school with lotion (consider writing their name on it) and chapstick. We continue to encourage the kids to keep hydrated as well!

Please remember to pack extra snacks too. They seem to be going through a collective growing spurt!

Save The Date: Parent/Teacher Data Conferences:

Parent/Teacher Data Conferences will be held on December 7th and the 14th.  Your child's teacher will be reaching out to you to schedule individual conferences to review your child's progress in the first semester. This is an excellent time to review data, determine progress with grade level expectations and to anticipate plans for the second semester. 

Apple Awards Nominees:

This year's Apple Award representatives for REMS will be Ms. Bethany Marlow, Kindergarten teacher (7.5 years) and Ms. Donna Montgomery, Kitchen Assistant and BASE Program Lead (11.5 years).  Please take a moment to congratulate them on their years of service in the Renaissance community!  Thank you to all who submitted Apple Award nominations for our amazing staff members! The ceremony to honor our representatives will take place on April 1, 2023.
