Good afternoon parents and guardians, this is a friendly reminder that tomorrow, October 13, 2023, is a Professional Learning Day for school employees. This means that students will not have classes. We have also added parent-teacher conferences to the Professional Learning Day this year. If you would like to schedule a conference with a teacher, please reach out to them as soon as possible. We encourage you to take advantage of this opportunity to discuss your child's progress and ask any questions you may have. Thank you, and have a great day!

Friday, October 13, 2023 RvMS will be offering scheduled Parent/Teacher conferences. If you haven't already made an appointment to visit your child's teacher to discuss data, please do so by contacting your child's teacher.
There will be no school for students on Friday October 13, 2023.
