COURSE DESCRIPTION:
Welcome to Student Government at RVMS! This course provides opportunities for students to promote school spirit, be active leaders in the school and in the community, and participate in authentic, service learning activities. Students will develop leadership techniques through organizing and planning school events (during and outside of school hours).
ALL MEDIA PERMISSIONS ARE REQUIRED FOR THIS CLASS as completed projects may be posted online or on district media outlets. You may want to check in Infinite Campus to see if permissions are allowed.
ELECTRONIC DEVICE:
At RVMS, our goal is for every student to have a computer to use throughout the school day. We believe this level of access to technology is vital in preparing students for the world in which they live. A Bring Your Own Device Initiative encourages students to move from textbook readers to worldwide researchers, empowers students to take control of their personalized learning, and enables students to use their understanding of technology for the betterment of their education.
Please visit the RVMS Website for details. The e-Media classroom will have team computers to use on their weekly film projects. Students must bring their own computers and chargers every day!
