RVES Family Newsletter June 12

June 12 - Family Newsletter

Rolling Valley Families,

What a week it's been at RVES! Today we celebrated two students (2nd and 5th grader) who earned the Rockinest Robin Award! Earlier in the week 6th-grade had the promotion ceremony that was followed by a party, and today they walked the halls giving high-fives during their clap-out! A sincere thank you to all the volunteers who made our 6th-grade party unforgettable, especially those staff members who took a dip in the dunk tank - Mr. Simmons, Mr. Gawen, and Mr. Painter!

To our amazing 6th graders, as you prepare to continue your journey into middle school, please know that you will be missed. Remember once a Rockin’ Robin, always a Rockin’ Robin.

To all our Rockin' Robins, we wish you a summer filled with sunshine, laughter, and endless possibilities! Don't forget to dive into the summer reading challenge and explore the great outdoors. Take this time to rest, recharge, and make fun memories.. We can't wait to see you back in the fall for another amazing school year ahead! 🎉📚☀️

Important Dates:

Lost Laptop Power Cords – FCPSOn Laptops – Grades 3-6

If the FCPS Dell 65W power adapter that was assigned to your child with the FCPS laptop is not returned with the laptop, it will need to be replaced.  Families are responsible for the cost of replacement and can pay for it through MySchoolBucks here: https://www.myschoolbucks.com/ver2/getmain?requestAction=home between 5/21/24 and 6/14/2024.  The cost of the replacement power cord is $29. We ask that you pay for the replacement power adapter through MySchoolBucks rather than buy a replacement elsewhere. The school will use your payment to purchase a new Dell 65W power adapter like the one originally issued. We cannot accept third-party replacement cords as returns for the original as it is a safety and compatibility concern.  You are welcome to purchase a replacement at any time one is needed.  Non-working Dell power adapters are replaced by FCPS, so please send those to school with your student and ask that they or their teacher submit a tech support request.

 

MySchoolBucks - Getting started is a simple three-step process!

  1. Download the app or visit the MySchoolBucks homepage and click on “Sign Up Free”.
  2. Create a user profile with your email address, establish a password, and set up your security questions.
  3. Add a Student to your account using the student’s name, date of birth, and/or student ID number. (Some schools and districts may require either the student’s date of birth or student ID number.)

If you have any questions regarding MySchoolBucks or the steps to take to replace the lost power cord, please contact Anne Walker, the school Finance Assistant, in the Rolling Valley Main Office at amwalker@fcps.edu or by calling 703-923-2700.
