RVMS Heart of the Herd award this week was passed on from Laurie Gardner to Groundskeeper, Nathan Pulsipher. Laurie says she nominated Nathan, "because the school grounds are looking amazing thanks to all of his hard work. Even though his duties take him to other schools to help, he consistently keeps everything here looking its best. I often catch him hurrying from one task to the next, yet whenever I ask for help, he always responds with a positive, willing attitude." He works hard for our school and we appreciate him! Congratulations Nathan!

RVMS Softball games vs. Sanders are cancelled for today and will be rescheduled. Waiting until 4:30 to make a determination for the football game and will update soon. 🥎🏈

New this year at Round Valley Elementary School!

We are excited to offer our students a variety of hands-on clubs that allow them to explore interests, discover new talents, build friendships, and learn skills beyond the classroom.

As we grow these new clubs, we need the help of our amazing community!

❤️ WE ARE LOOKING FOR DONATIONS

Our first walk to school is August 19th from 7:15 am- 7:40 am! Buses will drop students off at the Apache County Library, and all parents are encouraged to drop their children off there as well. We will have adults to walk with the students to school. We are also open to volunteers if parents would like to walk.

Thank you to our incredible RVMS staff for making the start of the school year such a success! ❤️ A great school year doesn't happen by chance - it happens because of amazing people who choose to bring their best every single day. Thank you for your teamwork, enthusiasm, flexibility, and the genuine care you show our students and one another. Here's to a fantastic year ahead! Together, we're making a difference every day. Go Elks! ❤️

RVMS Heart of the Herd award this week goes to School Nurse, Laurie Gardner, nominated by office staff and administration. This recognition is so well deserved. Everyday, she goes above and beyond to care for our students with kindness, compassion, and professionalism. Whether she's comforting a sick child, offering reassurance, or helping students feel safe and cared for, she makes a lasting difference in the lives of everyone she meets. Her dedication doesn't stop when the school day ends. Throughout the summer, she generously volunteers her time to help beautify our campus by creating welcoming bulletin boards and making our building a place where students and staff feel inspired from the moment they walk through the doors. Thank you, Laurie, for your selfless heart, your unwavering commitment to our students, and the countless ways you make our school a better place. We are so grateful to have you as part of our herd and we couldn't be prouder of your Heart of the Herd nomination. Congratulations and thank you for all you do! Go Elks! ❤️

One of the best parts of being an educator are the moments we get to witness our amazing students taking part in. A tradition that we have had at Round Valley Elementary School is figuring out who the fastest runner in the school is. We have boys race against boys, and girls race against girls. This year, we did it at Dome Day. The girls went first, and our winner was Ivory. Then the boys went and Asher won, Ivory's brother. She was sooo excited for him. Then she realized that for fun, the two winners would race each other. She was nervous and he could clearly see it. The whistle blew, and they took off down the track. Asher made sure that he and his little sister crossed the finish line at the same time. It was a great moment to witness and a reminder of the amazing kids we have here in our schools. It's not always about winning, it's about what you do when literally the entire school is watching. These two siblings reminded us of what sportsmanship is and made us proud to call ourselves ELKS! RV Strong!

RVMS Meet the Teacher event on Monday, August 3 from 3:00-5:00p.m. Schedules will be available if your child is registered. Go Elks!
