This past Friday, RV Elementary was given some bad news. The King's Pointe trip was postponed at the last minute. The staff at RV Elementary wanted to find a way to still make the day fun for all the students that were looking forward to a fun day. A morning of movies, a school wide sack lunch, and fun and engaging stations for the afternoon was put into play. Some of the stations including: kick ball, dance party, coding, arts and crafts, and more. It was a great day for the students and an even greater example of how the RV staff puts the students of RV first!
Hello All,
This week is Teacher Appreciation Week and the RV Elementary PTO is looking for your help. See the flyer below on the week to come and the many ways you and your kiddos can say, "Thank You" to their teacher.
Unfortunately the RV Elementary Day at King's Pointe for tomorrow has been canceled. Due to a failed chemical test, King's Pointe is unable to host us for a fun filled day.
I apologize for the bad news, but we are working on another possible date.
School is on for tomorrow and I ask that any student that was planning on bringing a sack lunch to still do so. I also ask that any student that was not planning to go to please bring a sack lunch.
Intro to FCS made yarn wall hangs for their interior design unit! Great work!
PROM NIGHT!

Today we held our April Longest Fry Contest and the winning students were: Sophie S., Corbin D., Liam M., Willa V., Aiden R., and Tesla W. As usually, there was a lot of energy in the lunchroom and good fun was had by all.

Good Wednesday Morning,
This is just a friendly reminder on our "Dress for the Weather" policy. I have attached the needed info. Please remember that it is the "Real Feel" temperature at the time of recess that applies. Students should layer up to prepare for the day, which would include sweatpants over shorts, jacket over hoodie, hats, gloves, etc.... It has generally not been warm enough for shorts and t-shirts until the late recess (which is after 2 PM.).
Students who are not appropriately dressed for the weather, will remain inside. Thanks for your cooperation.
PARENTS: An email was just resent with the Conditions for Learning Survey through the state of Iowa. In this email, there is explanation of what this survey is and why it's valuable (and anonymous) input that helps River Valley becomes a safer and better school for our students! This email was sent to all students legal guardians that have an email registered in PowerSchool.

This past Friday, RV's fourth and fifth graders took a short trip to Correctionville and the Assisted Living Center. Through "Project Jack", classroom teachers and students created gift baskets for the residents and also spent time talking and getting to know each other. What a positive experience for all involved!
It's a great day for outdoor art class!
Last week RV Elementary kicked off Easter weekend with a visit from Mrs. Koskovich and RV High School FFA. They were gracious enough to spend some time with the entire elementary, teaching the the elementary students lesson about agriculture, had some craft time, and played some fun games. The Easter Bunny even stopped by to pay a visit! It was an educational and fun filled morning. We are very thankful that the "Big Kids" payed us a visit:).
