• Getting Involved: We are aiming to increase parent volunteers this year! To volunteer on campus, you must first be cleared through our VITAL system. Contact the front office for more details. Volunteer opportunities include:

• Classroom support and running copies in the teacher workroom

• Library support (restocking shelves and checking books in/out) with Ms. Stephanie Almond

• Assisting with morning drop-off, afternoon pick-up, lunch, or recess duty

With the cool mornings and warm days, our lost and found is filling up with jackets and sweatshirts! Please check and see if what you've lost has been found! Also please put the students name in the jackets and we can get it to the right owner! Thank you!

Do you love books? Do you have some spare time that you would like to fill? Would you like to be a volunteer at RVS but don’t know where to go? Volunteer in the library! No experience needed! Stephanie could really use some help in the library shelving books, straightening shelves, and checking in books. Click HERE to sign up. She can’t wait to get to know you and have you be a part of the library fun. A reminder, you must be registered through Vital to volunteer. It is easy to sign up if you haven't already.

We are looking for 1 or 2 parents to come and volunteer on November 12, for picture retake day. Pictures will start at 8:20am and end around 12:30pm. If you are not signed up through Vital and would like to be a volunteer, it is quick and easy to do! If you have any questions about volunteering with us, please reach out to Annie Birgenheier.

As a reminder, Kid Packs are available for families who would like some extra food to help their children get through the weekend. If you would like your family to receive Kid Packs, please email Kris Worner at kris.worner@tsd.org.

We also have a Resource Closet available in our counseling office for families who may need additional support. The closet is stocked with items such as personal hygiene products, laundry supplies, and other essentials. Students and families are welcome to stop by and take whatever items they need. Simply check in at the front desk, and you’ll be directed to the closet. Bags are provided for your convenience.

We are happy to offer these resources to help support our families and ensure everyone has access to the essentials they need.
