August 29 - News and Notes!
Rolling Valley Families,
We've had a short but full week here at RVES! This week, we kicked off our first Principal Advisory Committee meeting, where our third graders shared what they love about our school and suggested changes they'd like to see. Their insights are invaluable in helping us set goals that align with our school's vision and objectives. We’re excited to meet with our sixth-grade representatives in the upcoming school year!
In addition, our students have been getting into the swing of things, establishing routines with morning meetings, practicing hallway expectations, and creating classroom agreements. Morning Meetings are an engaging way to start each day, build a strong sense of community, and set children up for success socially and academically. Each morning, students and teachers will gather together for twenty to thirty minutes and interact with one another during four purposeful components: Greeting, Sharing, Group Activity, and the Morning Message.
We hope you and your family have an enjoyable and safe long weekend. We look forward to seeing everyone on Tuesday, September 3!

We are at a 73% completion rate for our survey, and we are still looking to hear from some families. Please take time to complete the early release survey linked below.
As we approach our first 3-hour early release, we expect students to follow their regular routes home. To ensure student safety, please complete this form https://forms.gle/L37bX7RN2qwDb9oQ6 to confirm your plans for each student. During this time, our instructional staff will be involved in professional development, so it's crucial that we have an accurate count of families needing supervision due to hardship to plan accordingly.
*Students requiring adult supervision due to hardship will be overseen by instructional assistants, school monitors, school staff, central office personnel, and/or volunteers. Your child will not be with their teacher due to required professional development.
