Great job! Go Elks!
RVMS would like to say a huge thank you to RVPD Chief Dayson Merrill and all of the first responders who helped us evacuate our campus to conduct a Reunification Drill today. All students and staff were evacuated and arrived to the Dome in 26 minutes!
Thank you to our parent volunteers who came to pick up their children and help us practice our safety protocols. The average time to get parents reunited with their children was 7 minutes. That's awesome!
It was a team effort today and we appreciate our teachers, staff, students, and parents for practicing these very important school safety protocols. Through practice we see where improvements need to be made and are always working to get better. Go Elks! ❤️
Reunification DRILL
This will be the last communication for the drill. Students are currently being released to parents. The drill is going as planned and students will be released at normal times. Thank you
Reunification DRILL
UPDATE: Parents/Guardians are currently picking up their students at the front of the dome. If there are any parents who would like to participate in the drill, you can still pick up your student. Please follow the previous instructions. Thank you
