Reminder: MSAD11 will have an Early Release Day tomorrow (November 5, 2025). GRMS & GAHS dismiss around 11:00, elementary schools at 12:00 pm. There will be no PreK classes tomorrow. Instead, PreK students will attend classes on Friday, November 7, 2025.

Why it matters to attend school on Early Release Days!

Even though early release days are shorter, they’re still full school days with important learning and community time built in. Teachers plan lessons that connect to what students are working on throughout the week, and missing even a few hours can make it harder for children to stay caught up.

Early release days also give students a sense of routine and consistency — something that helps them feel secure and ready to learn. It’s a chance for them to connect with classmates and teachers about upcoming events in the classroom.

In short, every school day matters — even the short ones, please send your child to school on early release days!

Wreath fundraiser through November 14th! Please support RVCS by purchasing a wreath! They will be delivered at the end of the first week of December! Call the office for more details or to place your order!

On Friday, students may wear costumes to school! Please no props that promote violence, no masks and students need to be able to sit at their desks without the costume interfering. We look forward to seeing their costume choices!
