NEW! A Note from Ms. Trena: Dear REMS Families,  Important Dates:  November 20-24th - Thanksgiving Break! Nov. 28- Dec.5   I-Ready Testing  Dec. 1st   School Wrapping Party  Dear REMS Families,  We have so much gratitude for our students, staff and families!  REMS was abuzz with an abundance of happy activity this week.  Many thanks to all those who assisted with our Scholastic Book Fair, belaying, 2nd grade's Beat, Family Night, and a successful Spirit Week.  I loved seeing all of our students dress in the most creative  Toy Story  gear, especially while navigating climbing!  As we gear up for the rest of the first semester,  I want to pause to take a moment to offer some gratitude.  Thank you to our teachers and staff for their unrelenting service to educating and loving our students every day.  Many thanks to our families for your countless hours of volunteering and commitment to our school.  Together, we are creating a thriving culture of Crew where true belonging is present,

NEW! A Note from Ms. Trena: Dear REMS Families,  Again, I wanted to express our humble gratitude to our Douglas County Voters for their support in passing the Mill Levy override (5A).  This will bring much needed funding to our teachers and support staff in offering them competitive salaries that are of fair market value as well as attracting new teachers to the profession.  The bond will also ensure safety and security measures are increased and maintained over time with the addition of Security staff at our elementary, offering more School Resource Officers in our feeder schools, and maintaining security cameras and radios. Thank you for investing in REMS!  Congratulations to Officer Troy Stembel, who was honored by our feeder principals this week! He is celebrating 25 years with the Castle Rock Police Department and in serving our schools We love Officer Troy!

You may find funding resources on the  DCSD website.  We appreciate your continued support in learning about essential school funding and how it imp
