5th Graders Tour Middle School at Orientation Day

Fifth grade students participated in an engaging orientation program designed to ease their transition to middle school. Students traveled around our school meeting the staff and getting to know how things work. Sixth grade teachers had students tackle real-world challenges they'll face in their new school. Through problem-solving activities, students debunked common middle school myths, practiced navigating a daily schedule, learned locker management techniques, discussed strategies for avoiding unnecessary drama, and explored what it means to build maintain healthy friendships. This hands-on activity hopefully gave students the confidence and skills they need to start their middle school journey strong.

 

Teen Institute Leadership Visit

Our 6th grade students had the opportunity to learn from peer leaders in the through a visit from the Teen Institute at RVHS. Teen Institute is a student-led organization dedicated to developing young leaders who advocate for positive youth development and healthy decision-making. During their presentation, the students engaged in interactive discussions and activities focused on essential life skills: authentic leadership, recognizing and preventing bullying, building self-esteem, understanding drug prevention, resisting peer pressure, and the dangers of vaping. By learning from teen role models, our students gained valuable insights and practical strategies to navigate teen life with confidence and how to make choices that support their well-being and the well-being of their peers.

8th Graders attend Job Fair

While many of their classmates were in Washington DC, a group of eighth grade students attended a job fair. Students were able to see various professionals and learn what it takes to do their job. Most of the stations had hands-on opportunities for students to try out. Thank you to Mr. Bell, Mrs. Bartlett and Mrs. Garrett for taking these students for a great day of learning.

Viking P.R.I.D.E. - PBIS

River Valley Middle School will be using the Viking P.R.I.D.E. rubric to support our PBIS system. Students who are showing appropriate behaviors from the rubric may earn points via the PBIS App. These points can later be exchanged for class rewards or if students earn enough points, the end of the quarter reward. If you have not already downloaded the PBIS App., please do so. Parents will be able to sign up for updates when your student received points for recognized behaviors.
