Register Now to Save on 2025/26 Transportation Fees
Transportation registration for the 2025/26 school year is now open through SchoolEngage. Families are encouraged to register by June 30 to receive an early registration discount—$40 off for each of the first two K–Gr. 12 students in a family, and $20 off for each additional student. A minimum 50% payment is required at the time of registration.
Due to rising costs, transportation fees have increased for the coming year. Full fee details are available on the RVS website. Families are encouraged to register early to offset some of the cost, and those who qualify may apply for a Transportation Fee Waiver.
To ensure your child has bus service on the first day of school, registration must be completed by August 1. Students registered after this date may experience delays of up to two to three weeks. Bus service may be cancelled up until October 31 for a full refund of any fees paid.
For a step-by-step registration guide and more information on fees, visit the RVS Transportation webpage.
PARTNERS IN LEARNING
OurSCHOOL Parent Survey
The OurSCHOOL Parent Survey is open until June 6. This anonymous survey lets you share your thoughts on how our school supports learning, encourages positive behavior, and keeps our community safe and inclusive.
The survey link was sent to all parents and guardians by email. If you haven’t had a chance to complete it yet, please take a moment to find that email and click the link to share your feedback. Your input helps us understand what’s working well and where we can improve.
If you need help locating the email or accessing the survey, please contact the school office at 403-948-5656.

Spirit Days
June 6 – Summer Vibes Day
Get ready to kick back and soak up the sunshine—Summer Vibes Day is all about celebrating the end of the year with beachy, tropical fun! Wear your favorite summer gear like Hawaiian shirts, sunglasses, bucket hats, flip-flops, and bright colors. Think beach towels, leis, and good vibes only! Bonus points for inflatable pool toys, sun hats, or surfer style.
June 20 - Colour Palooza
Let the color battle begin! For Color Palooza Day, each homeroom will choose a unique color to wear—students and staff included! Everyone in the class comes dressed head-to-toe in their assigned color to show their team spirit.
June 25 - Twin or Squad Day
Grab a friend—or your whole crew—and coordinate your outfits! On Twin/Squad Day, students (and staff!) can dress alike in matching outfits, themed costumes, or coordinated colors. Whether you’re a dynamic duo or a full squad, it’s all about teamwork, creativity, and showing off your friendship in style!
IMPORTANT REMINDERS
Staying Focused as Summer Nears
As the weather warms up and summer gets closer, we know students are feeling more energetic and excited, but it’s important to stay focused on learning right through to the end of the year.
A quick reminder: water toys of any kind are not allowed at school. While they might seem like fun, they can:
- Create safety risks from water on floors leading to slips and falls or they might look like real or dangerous objects, causing unnecessary worry.
- Cause distractions and take away from the respectful, focused environment we want for everyone.
Thanks for helping keep our school safe, calm, and ready for learning.
