Ms. JoAnna's 6th Grade Crew on Voyage This Week

NEWS from Ms. Trena:

Dear REMS Families, 

This week has been abuzz with echoes of excitement as students began digging into deeper learning, building crew and establishing effective routines! Teachers have been hard at work to create a family culture through connections, by offering stability through routines, and establishing grounding in best practices to ensure students' success.  We know that when our students feel safe and have trusted adults that support them, they are then able to access academics. Thank you for trusting us with your children. 

Staff Highlights: 

Please welcome Mr. Ryan Dixon, our new Campus Security Specialist.  With the passage of the Mill Levy Override last November, we were able to hire a Campus Security Specialist at REMS to continue to support safety on our school campus.  We are very excited to have Mr. Ryan join our crew! 

While Ms. Ashley Cammack is not new to our REMS Staff Crew, she is new in the role of the Adventure Education Coordinator this year.  She has worked extremely hard over the summer to organize and streamline the Adventure Education program for both families and staff.  She has introduced a new 6th grade Fall voyage at Eagle's Nest Wilderness that promotes our students' growth and development in our core values.  Ms. Ashley spent quite a bit of time of her summer backpacking the trails and scouting routes so that our students experienced a safe and adventurous voyage this year.  Many thanks to Ms. Ashley for her dedication to upscaling our Adventure Ed program to meet the needs of all of our students! 


In Crew,
