Cell Phones @ RVHS
Students will not be permitted to use their cell phones at all during the school day this year (7:30 AM - 2:50 PM). There are exceptions for special circumstances, such as documented medical or learning needs specific to each student, and those items will be handled on a case-by-case basis at the discretion of the HS administrative team. Please contact Mr. Stout directly if you have any questions about our cell phone policy for the 2025-26 school year. 

RV Weather/Critical Alerts
Should your family have anyone who is not listed on your students emergency contact list (grandparents, babysitters, etc.), but needs to receive text, call, and email alerts when we are delayed or canceled, plus other critical/weather-based updates from the district, we have a form they can complete to be added to our guest list.

Completing this form will not give them regular building updates or other notifications from groups, only weather/critical alerts. 
The form can be found by clicking here.

Daily Announcements
We will continue to utilize daily announcements this year. Please click here to view our daily announcements. 

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.
