NO SCHOOL HOLIDAY –
Thank you to all the families that filled out a student
information form sent home with the last Eagle Eye and
emailed out this past week. If you have not had the
opportunity to complete the form, please return to the
school by May 20th.
Last week an email was sent out requesting parent support
at recess time. If you have time in your schedule to
support recess during the day (either one time or on a
regular basis), please contact Mr. Baron. Any support
would be appreciated.
Students have gotten off to a great start with PARCC
testing in Grades 3-5. Please talk to your child about taking
their time and putting forth his/her best effort. We have
been proud of the effort and persistence of the students.
Celebrations
We had an amazing turnout for the 1st Annual Science Fair.
Thank you to all the students who worked extremely hard
at home to create wonderful projects. Thank you to Mr.
and Mrs. Hart for all your hard work in making it a
success.
The community was eating and dancing up a storm at our
Zumba Night sponsored by the Hispanic/Latino Council.
Thank you for making it a fulfilled evening. Also, thank
you to Villa Maya for their generous donations.
The talent show is this evening! We have been watching
the students practice and we have a lot of talent here at
RCV. Thank you to Mrs. Basile for organizing a great
event.
If you have any questions about testing, please contact Mr.
Baron, Assistant Principal.
Have a great weekend!

We are committed to providing a safe and caring learning community where staff work
together proactively to motivate and engage all students to put forth their best effort in order
to achieve success.
Our Instructional Focus
Teachers will provide daily small group opportunities for students to demonstrate their
understanding of content and academic language by incorporating instructional strategies
focused on background knowledge and interaction.
