River Valley High School - Weekly Update

RV Farm Scavenger Hunt
 

Students completed a scavenger hunt in Mrs. Triplat's class this week, located out at the RVHS Farm. Pictured above are students Jorden Buckland, Addison Brodman, and Faith Knight

Engineering Hot Air Balloons

Students in Mr. Beineke's class completed a Hot Air Balloon project, with the goal being to see how high they could get their balloons to go. They were able to take advantage of some of our higher ceilings near the stairway for this project. 

October is Ohio School Safety Awareness Month
Each week in October, the RVHS update will feature a school safety-related item to raise awareness during Ohio School Safety Month.

This week, we’d like to raise awareness for Fire Safety Week! We ask RV families to please take a moment to check their smoke detector batteries over the course of the week. 

RVHS hosted Patrolmen Maskey and Nelson of the Ohio State Highway Patrol, Marion Post, this week to discuss distracted driving with students as a part of our School Safety Month initiative.​​​​

Band Concert

Congratulations to our HS and MS band for their fantastic performance last week. Mr. Neff, our band director, is doing a great job in his first year leading our instrumental music department.

Students have been learning how to play chess in Mr. Edward's academic assist during some down time, and had a Q1 tournament recently. Pictured above is Q1 Chess Tournament Champion Juan Sanchez. Great job Juan!

Orchestra Concert
RVHS/MS will have their fall orchestra concert on Wednesday 10/9 beginning at 6pm in the auditorium. We hope to see you there!

Eligibility
Fall and winter sport athletes eligibility is determined by their grades for the first 9-weeks. The first grading period ends on Thursday 10/17/24. Students must be passing 5 credits (or their equivalent) to maintain athletic eligibility on this date. Please review the RVHS Handbook or RV Athletic Handbook for further information.

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.
