Hello! Please see below for your weekly announcements.
First of all I would like to thank all of our Raider families who participated in our Parent/Teacher meetings in November. School and Home working together is the best option for our Raiders and we appreciate your support.
I also want to let parents know (as we are now in week two of the return of cellphones to the building), that we are quite pleased with the improvement we have seen in our student’s appropriate use of technology. We will continue to remind them about what is appropriate to post/text/chat/message on line as this is a life skill that will be very important to their generation. We encourage families to continue these discussions as well.
Further to that, the 4 area High Schools are hosting a free parent information session this Thursday, December 6th at 6:30 pm at Saint John High School. The brochure is attached. Raider families may find the topic very timely: Consent & Risky Behaviours; Informative Presentation for Parents of Youth in the Era of Social Media & Electronic Devices. The brochure is attached.
We are still looking for about 25% of our families to register for Cashless Schools. This is very important as it is now being used for purchase of all trips, sports fees, yearbooks etc. To register go to the school website (rvms.nbed.nb.ca) and click on the “Make A Payment” button. It is very important that you link your account to your child using their name and birthdate.
Students who have missed 10 days, whether excused or unexcused will be receiving attendance letters by mail. This is a form letter and a requirement under the Education Act. You only need worry if your child was marked absent and you thought they were here that day. If you have any questions, please give us a call at 738-6500.
