Welcome back! It has been a busy week settling into our new crews and getting a chance to visit IAs. Kindergarten even had a chance to connect with their 4th grade buddies.

The REMS Little Free Library is back and better than ever! Thank you Ms. Tori's '22-'23 crew for all your hard work.

A Note from Ms. Trena:

Thank you for such an incredible first week back to school with your children! 

NEW! News from our Parent Crew

Crew in Action: VIRTUAL Volunteer Training 8/15 @ 7-8pm

Partner with REMS in working together to promote “Crew”

We are so looking forward to doing Crew together with all our volunteers this year! Many REMS families were able to attend Parent Crew Camp or the Sneak Peek, and were invited to learn the “why” and the “how” behind what REMS does, and how we as parents can effectively partner with our school in investing in our children. As per communication from REMS admin, it is required that parents who plan on volunteering, attend one of the Volunteer trainings. Here is an upcoming opportunity for our families who weren’t able to attend either previous event! Sign up here today to be emailed the ZOOM LINK.

Track It Forward - NEW & IMPROVED
We are excited to unveil our improved Volunteer portal. While we are still using Track-It-Forward, we now have features that will make it easy to sort through volunteer opportunities, and make it easier to track hours - use the app or website or the NEW VOLUNTEER KIOSK located at the main office!
We are asking for every family to register and create an account.
*Please note: even if you have a previous account, it is necessary for you to re-register your account. This happens every year, as we begin each new school year.

Back-to-School Carnival!
Mark your calendars for August 18th!
Friday, Aug 18 @ 4:30*-7pm, everyone in the family is invited to come to the REMS playground for food, games, and community! This is a great way to meet other families in your child's crew and see their teachers outside of the classroom.  
*Please note this event does NOT start right after dismissal this year!
We need lots of Volunteer help and treat donations for the ever-popular Cake Walk! To make this event a success, please reach out to our committee chair, Ali Babcock, at alisaerin@gmail.com or sign up on Track It Forward.
