Renaissance Expeditionary is a K-6 Magnet school within the Douglas County School District.  REMS has special programming and a slightly modified calendar from other DCSD neighborhood schools.  All students who attend REMS must be offered enrollment through the DCSD Open Enrollment Process. Once enrolled, students will be automatically registered each year through grades served or until the student withdraws.
