River Valley Community School District - Home of the Wolverines

To all District Parents and Guardians, You were emailed this afternoon with instructions, background information, and a link for the Conditions For Learning Survey. This anonymous survey gives our school valuable information on how we can better serve the students of River Valley Community School District. Though this survey is not required, we would greatly appreciate your consideration in taking the survey. If you have questions regarding the survey, please contact either building principal. Thank you!

Recently the RV Elementary 3rd graders read the book Flat Stanley. Then they took time and created their own Flat Stanley to mail to a relative or friend. Today they took a trip to the post office to send their Flat Stanley’s on their way! The kids are excited to learn about all of the different locations and communities that their Flat Stanley were sent to.

It is Forensic Friday! The Chemistry & Advance Chemistry classes of Mrs Wassenaar are at BV University in Storm Lake for the day learning cool things!

On your way in to the concert tonight, make sure you take some time to view the amazing artwork that lines the front hallway. Art students have been doing a variety of things to display their talents. REMINDER -- K-8 concert tonight starts at 6:30 pm in Correctionville gym.

In addition to viewing the eclipse this past Monday, teachers set up the viewing in several ways. Teachers used the day to do some cross curricular activities as well as team teach some lesson on the eclipse. I guess you could say RV Elementary's teachers are "Out of the World"! I must also apologize, as I neglected to give a shout out to Mrs. Mallison, Mrs. Meyers, and Ms. Nissen for also providing some of the glasses for viewing yesterday. It was much appreciated!

Congratulations to both the the KP-WC-RV Girls track team on their first place finish in Kingsley last night and to the KPRV JH Girls track team on their first place finish tonight in Lawton!

The K-8 Spring Concert will be held on Thursday, April 11th in the high school gymnasium in Correctionville. Elementary will perform first at 6:30 with middle school to follow.

If you have a 4th/5th grader who has a part in the musical, they need to have similar colored clothing to their understudy. Middle School students need to be in the music room no later than 7:30pm. The students who are playing with the 5th grade band need to be there by 7:00. They also need to wear nice dress clothes. If you have any questions, please reach out to Miss Rau or Miss Ross.

This afternoon, RV Elementary had an Eclipse Watch Party. Though the cloud cover made it tough, Mother Nature gave us a clear opening for about 30 seconds and gave an awesome view of the eclipse. A special thanks to Morgan Carstens and Cherokee Hy Vee for donating the glasses. A short, sweet, and awesome experience for everyone!

This past Tuesday RV Elementary held its April Lift-off. The students got caught up with some exciting events coming in April, celebrated April's birthdays and KDR drawing winner, and learned more about our April KDT Word of the Month (Accountability). Finally, last week, students could earn tickets at our Easter at the Elementary celebration and then use those tickets to pick one lucky staff member to "Eat some Pie". That lucky staff member just happened to be Mr. Blosmo, our elementary principal. The two lucky students that got to "give" Mr. B some pie enjoy it and I'm pretty sure everyone else in attendance enjoyed it too!

Today we are thrilled to honor and recognize our paraprofessionals who help every day in the classrooms and anywhere else when asked. The elementary paras were treated to a potluck lunch and pictures from some students. MS/HS paras were given their favorite drink from Driftwood first thing this morning and certificates. We have a few missing from the photos as well. Help us recognize these hardworking individuals! (And notice the cute shirts of the ms/hs!!)

Attention Future Preschool and Kindergarten Parents: See attached flyer on upcoming Kindergarten/Preschool open house. Preschool parents can also pick up registration packets. We look forward to showing you what your child's future classroom looks like as well as meeting their new teacher:)

More pictures from this morning!!
