Rolling Valley Families,
We had a very short and quick week, but we hope you and yours have an enjoyable and relaxing Thanksgiving Break! As a reminder, we have no school from Nov. 22-24. We will see you all Monday, Nov. 27! A friendly reminder that we are trying to get the last of our impact aid forms completed. If you have not done so already, please get online and complete your form, or ask for a paper copy from the office.
Have a great Thanksgiving Break!

Lightspeed Classroom Digital Tool
Coming to RVES
Our school will be using a new classroom management tool that will help teachers better connect with student devices during classes. The new tool will provide teachers with a number of helpful features:
- Easily view student screens in real time from the teacher console to see which students may need guidance or support.
- Focus student attention on a particular website on their device to minimize distractions.
- Pause student access to the internet to focus on other classroom tasks.
We believe this classroom management tool will allow us to maximize class time to support your student’s learning while at school. Please let us know if you have any questions.

As a result, March 5 will be a school holiday for students and a virtual School Planning Day.
