TOP ANNOUNCEMENTS

Continue checking the Hub for important school information!


The Hub is now updated with lunch information, procedures and tutorial videos for pick up and drop off, school day hours and more. 


Please keep checking back as we continue to add information that will better serve our families!


Medical Information Forms


As a point of clarification, the Medical Information Form posted last week in myRVC does not include or replace any required health, vision, or dental forms.


Please review and submit the Medical Information Form. If the notification remains after submission, please have the other parent/guardian in your household submit their form as well, or email info@rvcschool.org to request removal of the second required signature.


*Removing the second required signature will not affect any other permissions or access for the secondary parent/guardian.*


If any of your health forms were returned back to you as incomplete in myRVC, please ensure that you have submitted BOTH front and back of the document in the portal.

Entrusted With a Child's Heart

Open to all RVC moms!


Join us Wednesday mornings beginning on 9/16 at 8:00 AM for this fantastic study. You can anticipate a video Bible teaching lesson accompanied by follow-up discussion. Homework includes Bible verse memorization and practical application. We will meet in The Hub on Floor 3 next to the library. This class will be led by Mrs. Kristy Weidman and Mrs. Nicole Fredericksen.


All are welcome to join this transformative study. The workbook can be purchased for $50 plus tax here. Books and a detailed schedule will be hand-delivered to you at your first meeting.


Visit Entrusted Ministries for more information on this study. Register here.


We’re forming a small Family Connection Team — a handful of parents sharing the work of welcoming new families, planning gatherings, encouraging our faculty and staff, and celebrating this new community we’re building together. No experience needed, just a willingness to help RVC feel like home for every family. 


If you’d like to learn more or get involved, we’d love to hear from you.

 

Parent Tools and Information

We’ve put together a quick slideshow to help you navigate our three main information resources: the River Valley app, myRVC portal, and The Hub. Whether you’re looking for announcements, calendars, forms, student information, or other school resources, this guide will help you know where to go for what.


View the slideshow here for a quick overview and keep it handy throughout the school year!

Birthday Lockers — Let NJHS Help You Celebrate!


Make your student’s birthday extra fun and support National Junior Honor Society at the same time! Families can now sign up to have NJHS students decorate their student’s locker for their birthday.


Prefer to decorate yourself? That’s welcome too—please decorate after school and follow the locker guidelines. Of course, you are never obligated to decorate—your student will still be celebrated on their special day.


*All decorations must be removed by Friday (Friday birthdays may remain through the following Friday)*
