SAC/PARENT CREW HUDDLE

Ever have questions similar to: 

"Where does all the fundraising money go?"
"I need a better idea on how REMS approaches classroom management; I even have suggestions. How do I go about that?"
"Why the need for volunteer hours?"
"How does REMS support the individual needs of such a diverse group of students?"
There is a good chance Parent Crew or SAC already has those answers, or has the established lines of communications to get the facts from the source.
Join us in our Virtual Parent Crew + SAC Huddle! Representatives from the Parent Crew Board and the School Accountability Committee will lead the huddle. You'll have a better understanding of the difference between the two, and how each group can support and help you with concerns and questions.
Date: Feb 28
Time: 6pm
Where: Zoom
How: 
(1) Register here
(2) Help us have a focused huddle, by completing this survey.
