The staff at River Valley Middle School and I would like to welcome students, parents and community members to the 2010-2011 school year. As the summer winds down we look forward to the opportunity to serve you by working together to provide your child(ren) with a quality educational experience.

With a new school year comes the exciting possibilities and bright hopes for a year of learning. The staff and I at RVMS are excited and filled with great expectations for a great year.

The doors at River Valley Middle School open at 7:40 a.m. Parking is a challenge and this year is no exception so we ask parents to refrain from parking in the Bus Zone in front of the building. This is a safety precaution as students are moving to and from busses and the school building. Parents picking up or dropping off students should do so on the side parking lot next to the gym. Please refrain from parking in the grass by utilizing the parking space made available. In the morning, these students can enter the building by using the main entrance doors. 

To pick up a student at the end of the school day, parents will sign them out in the gym at 3:00 p.m. A reminder to all parents that only these people approved on the student yellow emergency card may pick up children at normal dismissal hours. A student must bring a note from home that they are to be picked up or a phone call must be made to the school office before 2:30 p.m. to let us know your child will be picked up. If a student is to be picked up by a high school student, a note must be given to the front office and the secretary will call the home to verify this note. A middle high school student will not be allowed to ride home with a high school student unless permission has been granted.

Reminder, for safety of all our children Do Not Enter the Bus Lane when buses are in the area or it is approaching the time for buses to arrive or depart.

We gladly welcome you into the school. We want you to be part of your child’s learning experience. However, it is important that the visitations policy is followed. Upon entering the building, please report directly to the office. At that time, you must sign in and obtain a visitor’s pass. Teachers have been instructed to send all visitors not wearing a pass to the office where a pass will be issued. For individual or extended conferences, please call the teacher and schedule an appointment.

On behalf of the school and the staff we invite you to become a part of the exciting things happening as RVMS. The goal of the teachers at River Valley Middle School is to take a student from where he or she is to the highest level according to his or her individual ability. The staff is committed to doing what is best for our students. Working together we can make this happen and achieve great things for our students at RVMS.

I am honored to serve as the principal of River Valley Middle School. I look forward to a wonderful year. If I can be assistance to you feel free to contact me at 446-8399.
