STUDENT ATTENDANCE AT OUR SCHOOL COUNTS EVERYDAY!
Did you know that student attendance is one of the over thirty factors that the New Mexico Public Education Department looks at in deciding if R.V.T. is proficient? We MUST have 92% attendance through the entire school year to meet AYP. Last year our average attendance was 93.2%! Thank you for your diligence in sending your children to school! Please continue to help us by sending your child to school every day!
The attendance rate by grade level from August 11 to November 25 is as follows:

Kinder 93.23%
First grade 94.47%
Second grade 92.62%
Pre-School 91.89%

We are in School Improvement I. We need to continue to keep our attendance high so we can get totally out of School Improvement I!
