Wrestlers Qualify for District

Drew Goldberg wrestles in Sectionals, one of 9 boys (including 3 alternates) and 7 girls (including alternates) who qualified for the district wrestling tournament this weekend. Congratulations and continued to success to those who qualified. 

STAR Turbine and Graphic Packaging

RVHS students recently toured STAR Turbine and Graphic Packaging to explore careers in advanced manufacturing, supply chain, and transportation. Before the visit, students shared interest in learning how manufacturing works behind the scenes and what daily life inside these local businesses is really like.

Following the tours, students reported a stronger understanding of business operations, workforce expectations, and the importance of both attendance and a positive attitude. They also gained insight into the value of pursuing work they enjoy, not just a paycheck.

RVHS Athletic Boosters Meetings

The visit was coordinated by Mrs. Garrett and chaperoned by Mrs. Stump and Mrs. Harbolt. Hospital staff shared that our students were polite, respectful, and engaged throughout the experience.

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

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.
