RV Elementary got March started off right yesterday! We held our March Lift-off in the gym with lots of important things to talk about including our March KDT Word of the Month-Confidence. The 5th grade band also gave us a great rendition of "Go Big Red"!
Of course we also celebrated our March birthdays and KDT drawing winners:). Lot's of excitement to start the month of March!
RV Elementary is celebrating Read Across America/Dr. Seuss Week this week. Students will be doing some DEAR (Drop Everything and Read) time throughout the week. This Wednesday, the elementary will be celebrating it with a fun dress up day and a few cool activities for all the students. We will have Big/Little Buddy read aloud time and our KDT groups will be listening to some Dr. Seuss books. It should be fun!
River Valley MS/HS will start ISASP testing on March 19 and will finish on March 22. ISASP (Iowa Statewide Assessment of Student Progress) tests help River Valley see where our students are performing and how we can better teach to meet our students needs. Please see the attached schedule and information for these testing dates.
Some things to consider to help your child do the best they can on these tests:
Have your child come to school having eaten a good breakfast or plan on them grabbing a breakfast here!
Make sure that your child has had plenty of sleep the night before these tests!
Practice! ISASP has made it possible for students to take practice tests anytime with this link: https://iowa.pearsonaccess.com/test-prep/reading/
In honor of Dr Seuss birthday tomorrow, the lunch ladies dressed up and decorated the lunchroom today. Breakfast was also served at lunch.
Check out these awesome posters from the Advanced Chemistry Class showing the different ways to define acids and bases!
Students who participated in District Individual Speech Contest on Saturday are pictured below. Some students are in two events. They brought home (9) I ratings and (3) II ratings.

Today is Bus Driver Appreciation Day and we are super appreciative of our bus drivers. Those drivers that could make it in were treated to some coffee, orange juice, and a donut. It was just a little something to show how thankful we are. Thanks again for doing what you do for the students at RV Community Schools.
Thanks Chuck K., Tressa P., Johnnie J., Karen M., (Not pictured: Darrell H., Susan K, Stephanie P, Robbie E., Jason S., and Nathan U.)
