New MOAC Sportsmanship Policy
The Mid Ohio Athletic Conference has implemented a new sportsmanship policy as we head into the winter season. Please take a moment to read the policy at this link. Of note, spectators who are ejected by contest officials or administration for unsporting behavior face a league wide event attendance ban of 14 days or more.
Daily Announcements
We have been working hard to communicate with students on a daily basis, and these daily communications are now posted on our website by visiting https://hs.rvk12.org/ and scrolling down to the "Daily Update" button. You can also view these announcements at this link. Updates are posted daily each morning.
Attendance Procedures
Parents need to ensure that within five school days of each absence they are sending in a parent note, or some kind of documentation from an appointment, in order to remove the absent-unexcused designation on student absences. Students can drop these notes off in the main office. Absences that do not have a note after five days will remain as absent-unexcused.
Adding RV Sports Calendars to Your Calendars
Our director of Technology and Communication, Mr. Tad Douce, has put together a video to help parents and students interested in adding sports calendars to their own digital calendars. Please visit this link to watch a helpful tutorial on how to sync your team’s game schedule to your own digital calendar.
