Welcome to the 2019-20 School Year

We are very excited for the new school year and are thrilled to have you back with us and to have all of our new families join the RVSD Community. Because not all back-to-school items can be provided via SchoolMint our online student enrollment system, some of the information and forms will continue to be provided to students on the first day of school and other information and forms are available on our district website.  For parents/guardians who do not have a computer, online, or smartphone access, technology is available in the school offices.  For the forms that are available on our website, if you do not have printer access, either drop by your child’s school office to pick up copies or ask that they be sent to you.

Volunteer Information and Application

All volunteers must submit within 30 days of volunteering a “Volunteer Application” along with written verification from a healthcare provider of negative tuberculosis within the last 4 years (i.e. skin test or Risk Assessment Questionnaire).  If in doubt as to whether your participation in our schools constitutes volunteering, please check with your child’s school’s principal and/or administrative assistant. Note that additional requirements apply to those who will be volunteering as field trip drivers and/or chaperones on overnight field trips.

• Volunteer Application (English | Spanish) - If you did not complete the Volunteer Application on SchoolMint when you completed the other back-to-school forms, you may print, complete, and submit it to your child’s school.

Family members may volunteer at a student’s school.  For anyone other than a student’s family member who wishes to volunteer, please contact the applicable school office to learn more about the required procedures.
We encourage all persons to submit the paperwork at the beginning of the school year, even if you are unsure you will volunteer, to ensure there will not be any confusion or delay at the time of the event.

In addition to the Volunteer Application and TB clearance, the Field Trip Driver form and a copy of the auto insurance policy declaration page for each vehicle to be driven on field trips are also required for any parent/guardian driving on a district school event, including if only driving your own child.
