These include: 1. Virtual Backpack – All notices, flyers, newsletters and publications are disseminated through the Virtual Backpack which is located on the school’s website – www.rvsnj.org. The backpack is updated every Friday with the current week’s flyers. To access click on Virtual Backpack on the left column. The user name is rvs and the password is falcon (both lower case sensitive). A Honeywell alert will be sent out on Fridays with a reminder to check the Virtual Backpack. 2. Valley Views – This monthly newsletter is our primary means of communication. It features a calendar of activities for the month, articles from school administrators and updates from teachers. It is posted on the fourth Friday of the month on the Virtual Backpack. 3. RVS Bulletin – The Bulletin is posted on the Virtual Backpack on the second Friday of the month. It is primarily a calendar with updates and may also contain vital information from school administrators. 4. Honeywell Instant Alert – Emergency messages will be sent out via the Honeywell Alert system. Instructions to set up your Honeywell account are included in the student packet sent home on the first day of school. Please remember to keep your phone numbers and email addresses updated on your Honeywell account. Parent/Teacher Conferences Parent/Teacher conferences are held twice a year in November and March. In order to stimulate meaningful dialogue, you are encouraged to make a list of the questions you wish to discuss and request that the teacher have your child's personal file, test results, class work or projects available for review. It is important that both your time and the teacher's time is spent in an attempt to develop cooperative plans for the child. However, if a concern, problem or question arises at any time during the year, don't wait for a conference. We urge frequent contact between the home and the school and wish to stress that as parents you should feel comfortable about sending in notes, setting up conference calls or scheduling informal meetings whenever the need arises. If you have a question or concern, call the school and leave a message for your child's teacher. You can do this by dialing 973.334.4162 and entering the teacher’s extension number. (Please refer to the directory in this handbook for the extension numbers.) You can leave a voice-mail message for the teacher and he or she will get back to you as soon as possible. You can also contact your child’s teacher at their email address which follows the form of person’s first initial and last name @rvsnj.org. Exceptions to this rule are Robert Fordyce (bfordyce@rvsnj.org), Robert Sacher (bsacher@rvsnj.org) and Pauline VanOudenaren (pvan@rvsnj.org). 7
Home and School Association 2011-2012 The Home and School Association, comprised of volunteers, serves as a liaison between the school and the parents. The Home and School organizes fundraising activities in order to furnish funds for a variety of programs and special projects. Some of the programs and committees sponsored by the Home and School Association are: Cultural Arts Committee – arranges assemblies and cultural arts programs. Class mothers/fathers – participate in classroom events. Lunchroom Support – provides hot lunches daily. Library Aides – provide assistance in the Library/Media Center. MONTHLY MEETINGS are open to the public and are held on the first Tuesday of each month. Meetings begin at 7:30 PM and are held in the RVS Library. Please attend a meeting and lend your support. The more ideas and help we have, the better we can serve our children’s school. The phone number for the Home and School Association is 973.334.4162, Ext. 400 and the email address is HSA@rvsnj.org.

Parents who have the time also may wish to volunteer on a more regular basis. In addition, the Home & School Association relies on and needs parent volunteers.
