Round Valley School District

It was a “Fancy Shmancy" Valentine’s Day for 2nd Grade!🌹🎩 Our Little Ladies and Gentlemen looked their best and enjoyed learning about manners and etiquette! ❤️

RVPS Elks Super Star Award 🌟 Ms. Mary Ann always has a smile that brightens everyone’s day. Her hard work and love for her students shines through in everything she does. She is patient and kind with students as she pushes them to succeed. She is always willing to help and goes the extra mile to support her co-workers. Every time I see Ms. Mary Ann I can’t help but smile. Her kind and happy energy is contagious and we are lucky to have her as a part of the Round Valley Primary School.

Congrats to our awesome students who earned the Super Kid, Be Kind, and Friendship awards! Keep up the great work! Thank you to Ditty's Pizza, Safire, and Short Stop for supporting our students. The post is a little late, but we wanted to recognize these Lil' Elks! Way to go!

Get ready for a SEUSS-tacular celebration at RVES! Join us in 2 fun filled weeks of dress up days celebrating Dr. Seuss!❤️

On January 15th, RVMS 8th graders were invited to a "Let's Go To Work" day organized by RVUSD board member, Terry Shove. Thank you to all the employers who participated in this fun career day, educating our students on different career opportunities in our area: SRP, WMRMC, Apache County, RV Fire and Medical, Eclectica Galleria, and El Rio Movie Theater. Also, a huge thank you to Terry Shove for organizing this annual event for our students!

RVMS students and staff honored our School Counselor, Celina Goodman, during National School Counselor Appreciation week. Students took turns throughout the day bringing some of her favorite snacks, drinks, and flowers to her. We appreciate Ms. Goodman for everything she does for our students, always being available to help wherever needed, and especially for being the Best Counselor EVER! RVMS is lucky to have her! ❤️

RVMS Choir teacher, Tara Cluff, was double nominated for Best Staff Ever and Best Teacher Ever this month! Ginger Gilliam chose Mrs. Cluff for Best Staff Ever because, "Her kindness and patience make a big difference for our students. Even when she has to discipline, she does it with kindness and a smile. I believe this is why her students love her so much. her dedication is inspiring." Suzanne Willis chose Mrs Cluff for Best Teacher Ever because, "She works so hard. She is here before everyone and often leaves after everyone. She has spent countless Fridays and holidays working on the play (which was fabulous)! She spent a good chunk of her summer organizing the music/drama closet with such precision that it blew my mind. She is always doing what is best for kids. She knows them and encourages them in a way that even the shyest student can confidently speak or sing a solo. Her love for her students comes through in her classroom, in the hallway, and throughout the school. She is an amazing example of what it means to be a teacher. It's never easy to take over after a legend (Vanessa Flores), but she is creating a legacy of music that is all her own. She is the best teacher ever!" Congratulations Mrs. Cluff and thank you for your hard work and dedication!

✨ Huge shoutout to Ms. Kayla Nicolds! ✨ We are so incredibly proud to celebrate Kayla for achieving her National Board Certification! 🍎🎓 This is the "gold standard" in education, and it’s a true testament to her relentless dedication, late nights of hard work, and the heart she pours into her students every single day. Only a small percentage of teachers nationwide reach this milestone, and seeing her earn this distinction is no surprise to anyone who knows her. Congratulations, Kayla! Our students and community are so lucky to have your expertise and passion. You earned this! 🎉

Congrats to our Super Kids, Be Kind Students, and students who earned the Friendship Award! Way to be awesome! Thank you to Ditty’s Pizza, Short Stop, and Safire! We appreciate your support. Go Elks!

We have some amazing staff and students in our community. Our officers make time to interact with our students. And our office staff enjoy the conversations with our students as much as the kids do.
An Evening with the Arts presented by Beta Sigma Phi was a great success. We have some extremely talented youth in our community. There was an art exhibit as well showcasing RVMS student's art and St. Johns Student's art as well. The talent show helps support the Beta Sigma Phi Scholarship that is given each year by this group to our graduating seniors. Thank you for supporting our Round Valley youth in so many ways!
