District Highlights
Remington Point Elementary
chosen as a 2017
Model School
Remington Point Elementary School has been chosen as a 2017 Model School by the International Center for Leadership in Education (ICLE). This designation recognizes RPES for standing out as an exemplary leader among hundreds of other campuses from districts across the country. Schools chosen by ICLE for this distinction must demonstrate the strides the campus administrators, faculty, and staff have made to strengthen rigorous learning for all students, increase student achievement, and build a culture of innovation.
"Remington Point's well-deserved designation as a 2017 ICLE Model School spotlights the rigorous and relevant curriculum, outstanding parent and community involvement, and teacher leadership employed at this campus," said Lisa Dunn, Director of Elementary Services. "Remington Point is making a difference in the lives of students through the hard work and dedication of the teachers, staff, and campus administration."
Representatives from Remington Point have been invited to speak at ICLE's 25th Annual Model Schools Conference in June in Nashville. At the conference they will have the opportunity to showcase best practices with thousands of educators from across the nation. The Model Schools Conference provides educators at all levels a forum where they can connect, share, and learn how to accomplish educational initiatives within their own classrooms, schools, and districts.
Remington Point's distinction as a Model School illustrates Eagle Mountain-Saginaw ISD's commitment to fostering a culture of excellence through the implementation of the
Aspire 2022 Strategic Plan. This is the second EMS ISD school to receive this prestigious designation; in 2016, Boswell High School also was named an ICLE Model School. Congratulations!

survey, and
EMS ISD wants to hear from you!
The District and School Climate Survey gives parents the opportunity to share feedback about their satisfaction with the district as well as their experiences with their child's specific school.
The survey launches for all EMS parents on Tuesday, January 24. We encourage you to take 15-20 minutes and share your thoughts; your feedback will be used by both district and campus leaders in planning and decision-making for the coming school year.
The survey will be offered in both English and Spanish. Survey links will be emailed directly to parents and posted on the district website.
This is the only district-level satisfaction survey we will ask parents to complete this year.
EMS ISD has partnered with independent research and communications firm K12 Insight to administer the survey and compile the results. All responses are strictly confidential.
Watch for more information soon. We look forward to your feedback!
