Redwood Area School District #2897

The 8th graders took some time during WIN to learn how to tie neckties and write checks. It was a fun time to learn some practical life skills!

Ms. Malecek's class made brain hats today to show the difference in the ideas between the Whole-Brainers and the Localizers in our Brain Science/Phineas Gage unit.

Congratulations to our 1/30/26 RV Elementary Cardinal Shout Outs this week. We are closing up this month in talking about Perseverance for Character Strong. Think about something you are good at. Maybe you’re good at packing your own lunch, drawing pictures, or helping with a younger sibling. You weren’t born with these skills. You learned them through practice and Perseverance. Now think about something new you’d like to learn. You’re just a little practice and Perseverance away from being good at something new! Give it a try! Keep up the hard work RVE Cardinals. It's always a GREAT day to be a Cardinal!!! * Be Respectful * Be Responsible * Be Safe #RedwoodValleyElementary #CharacterStrong #AlwaysTheCardinalWay #Perseverance #Wacinmatanka

Students in Mrs Argetsinger's science class have been studying genetics. Today they extracted DNA from strawberries! Many took their samples home as necklaces or keychains.

Congratulations to our 1/27/26 RV Elementary Cardinal Shout Outs this week. Perseverance is pushing yourself through challenges and obstacles. Challenges and obstacles are things that are hard to do or that get in our way, like a tough math problem or shooting a basket on a windy day. That is why Perseverance is not easy. It’s finding ways to work through the challenges and sometimes we just need to keep trying and sometimes we need to try a different strategy and sometimes we need to ask for help. Keep up the hard work RVE Cardinals. It's always a GREAT day to be a Cardinal!!! * Be Respectful * Be Responsible * Be Safe #RedwoodValleyElementary #CharacterStrong #AlwaysTheCardinalWay #Perseverance #Wacinmatanka

We are excited to announce that Children’s Dental Services (CDS) will be visiting our school on February 17 and 18 to provide convenient, on-site dental care for our students.

Services Offered: CDS provides comprehensive care, including exams, X-rays, cleanings, sealants, fillings, and even crowns or extractions.

Payment & Insurance:

They accept Medical Assistance (MA) and private dental insurance.

A sliding fee scale is available for those without insurance.

Please note: The school coordinates the visit, but all billing and clinical services are handled directly by Children’s Dental Services.

How to Sign Up: Only students with a signed and completed consent form can be seen. If you haven't filled one out this school year and would like your child to participate, please contact the Health Office for a form.

Important Note on Scheduling: We have received a high volume of interest this year! Because our time is limited to two days, we will be prioritizing students with urgent dental needs first. If your child is not seen during this visit, we will do our best to include them in a future session later this school year.

Questions? Please contact the School Nurse at 507-637-0259.
