Fostering Safe, Caring and Respectful Learning Environments

The safety, well-being and acceptance of all students is paramount at Rocky View Schools. In all our interactions, we work to ensure students have the understanding, skills and opportunities to contribute to welcoming, caring, and respectful, learning environments that respect diversity and nurture a sense of belonging and positive sense of self. To ensure that each and every student, including those with diverse sexual orientations, gender identities and gender expressions, has the educational opportunities and supports needed to be successful in school, our Board endorses two administrative procedures that affirms the rights of each student – we invite you to become familiar with them:

AP 350 - Student Code of Conduct

AP 207 - Learning Environments that Respect Diverse Sexual Orientations, Gender Identities and Gender Expressions.

Public education is a shared responsibility. With students, families, employees and our communities, we are working together every day to build positive learning environments for student success.

Alberta's New Standardized Age of Entry

To comply with Alberta's new Education Act and subsequent Early Childhood Services Regulations, Kindergarten eligibility requirements will be changing, effective Fall 2020. The new standardized age of entry requires students to turn five by Dec. 31 of the school year they wish to begin Kindergarten. This change allows students born between Jan. 1 and Dec. 31, 2015, to register for  Kindergarten for the 2020/21 school year.

Welcoming All New Families to Rocky View Schools

Although registration is ongoing up to the first day of school, pre-registration helps your child make a successful transition. Schools have a wealth of activities planned! For full details, visit RVS’ Advanced Registration Folder to be prepared for our registration process in January 2020.

On June 10, 2020, Alberta Education announced a comprehensive re-entry plan for the upcoming school year, which allows schools and parents to prepare for learning while putting student and staff safety first. Recognizing that many families and staff have questions related to school re-entry, RVS has created an online repository, School Re-Entry Plan, that will provide details around RVS' approach, answers to frequently asked questions and wellness resources.

Hosted on RVS' public website, this repository will continuously be updated so families and staff are encouraged to return often.
