Round Valley School District

RVMS is excited to have teachers recognize teachers this year every couple weeks! Our Instructor of the Year last year, 8th grade Civics and Agriculture teacher, James Sherwood, started our year with the "BEST TEACHER EVER" block. He nominated and handed it off to Jane Finch, our Sewing teacher and Librarian. He said, "The teacher I want to give the best teacher ever award to, is Jane Finch, she is great at stepping in and helping at any time, she knows and cares for the students and she teaches them many things, her sewing class has always been great to see the students that take that class and how much they enjoy it and learn and produce real neat things, Jane Finch is a brick! We all love you and thank you for your work!" Thank you Mr. Sherwood and thank you Mrs. Finch for all you do for our students! Go Elks! ❤️

RVMS is ready for some Football and Softball! Our players and coaches have been working hard! Go Elks! 🏈🥎❤️

Huge shout out to our RVES Elk Award Scooter Winners. We did not get to hand these out at the end of the school year due to the fire. Our winners for the 2025 school year are Dixon Hooper and Mellee Smith. They had a great year and got their names put into the Elk Awards many times. Great job! We will do it again this year, so earn those Elk Awards!

We had a great start to our school year. Mr. Lozoya sported several of his many hats. Ms. Sunshine was shining brightly! So excited for a fun year with an awesome group of kids and staff!

We have our first walk to school day this week, Wednesday, August 13th, starting at the Public Library, at 7:00 am. Thank you to AZ Health Zone and Apache County Public Health Services for helping out. We welcome volunteers to walk with students from the library to the school.
Also, we have a new email that we would like all parents to use for transportation changes. If you need to change how your child will go home, please email them to rves_transportation@elks.net This allows us to have all notices in one location to ensure your child goes home correctly. Thank you all for adjusting to the new flow of traffic for drop-off and pick-up. The transition has gone better than expected.

At Round Valley, our Gifted & Talented teaching team is committed to providing our high-achieving students with the challenges they need to thrive. We are working hard to create an environment where these students can explore their passions, deepen their critical thinking skills, and reach their full potential. Stay tuned for updates on the exciting projects and opportunities we have planned for this year!

RVPS Staff is excited to see all of the smiling faces tomorrow morning! It’s going to be a great year! ** We are excited to have our playground updated with turf. Installation took longer than expected, but students will still have the basketball courts and other outdoor play areas available. The playground equipment area will open back up shortly. Go Elks!

RVMS Meet the Teacher today from 3:00-5:00. Schedules will be handed out, students will be able to walk their schedule, teachers are available to meet students and parents, and questions answered to help make the first day successful. 6th graders need to bring proof of residence.

RVMS teachers and staff are excited to welcome our students back for the best year EVER! Thank you to Liana's Cookie Co. for the yummy cookies for our meeting. Go ELKS!!! ❤️

We want to inform everyone of some changes we have made with our RVES parking lot. The parking lot in front of the school has a fire lane up against the sidewalk that runs across the front of the building, please do not park along this curb.
The Parent Drop-Off and Pick-Up has changed direction of traffic. You will enter the parking lot from the South and exit on the North end. Why did we do this? This allows for students to be dropped off closer to our building, which will help on cold weather days. It also allows for students in the passenger seat to be dropped off/or picked up nearest to the sidewalk. This prevents students from having to walk around and in between vehicles. Turning north (right) as you exit the parking lot is highly discouraged. It may cause a backup with buses and crosswalks and delay your exit. Thank you for your patience as everyone learns the new path. Looking forward to a great year!

Flood Prevention Update for Round Valley Schools

We want to inform our community that proactive flood prevention measures have been taken at both the Round Valley Dome and Round Valley Primary School. While engineers will be developing long-term solutions, that process will take some time. In the meantime, we’ve placed sandbags around entryways, installed a cement barrier around the Primary School, and added a culvert and additional barriers at the Dome to help prevent the kind of flooding we experienced last year. Thank you for your continued support as we work to protect our schools.

Round Valley Middle School Gym Floor - The Middle School Gym Floor is Done. It looks great!!! We will stay off of it until July 7, 2025. We are excited for the upcoming school year to utilize the updated floor for school and extra curricular. Thank you!!!!

Here is a document for updated Bond and Turf Projects. Thank you for helping us repair and renovate our schools. https://claude.ai/public/artifacts/31ea1502-9434-4f16-b40b-4efe0c255dce
