Juniors- Colorado Measures of Academic Success (CMAS Science)

Juniors will be participating in CMAS Science during the school day in their science class on March 28/29, March 30/31, and April 4/5.  Instruction will occur when the testing session is over.  For information on the Colorado Measures of Academic Success (CMAS), please see this flyer. Science teachers will be communicating with students about the exact testing schedule, the coinciding class schedule, and their room assignments for CMAS.  Please ensure that students come to school with a charged, school-issued Chromebook.  Students will not be able to access the assessment software with other personal devices. If you have any questions about CMAS, please contact your student’s counselor or grade-level administrator.

If your student is a Sophomore or Senior in Physics or Conceptual Chemistry, they should go to the library during the testing session- attendance will be taken.  Instruction will occur when the testing session is over. 

The 2023 Spring Season is officially in full swing!!

Our Track and Field team hosted the Mustang Invite last Friday.  This was the first meet of the year for Ralston Valley and most of the other attending schools.  Many personal records were set to start the year and the team performed great.  See other highlights from our track team below.

Our soccer team had a successful trip to the Western Slope last weekend.  They beat a ranked Durango team 8-0 on Friday and followed that up with a 3-0 victory over Fruita Monument on Saturday.

BLAX went to the Western Slope as well.  They beat Fruita Monument on Friday and then were rained out for their Saturday game against Grand Junction.  The game between these two teams will be made up at Battle Mountain High School in April. 

Tennis left the Western Slope Invite unsure of their final placement but saw a lot of great tennis from all of their lines.  All seven lines placed.  Five made it to finals and two (1 and 3 singles) took first.  They followed that up with a sweep of Denver East earlier this week. 

Baseball took a 3-2 lead into the final inning on opening day against Arapahoe before falling 7-3.  Even though it was not the outcome they had hoped for, it was a great game.  They are back in action today at Monarch.  The boys will also be heading to Arizona over Spring Break for four games.  Good luck!

Swim and Dive continue to be strong.  Colby Garrison (diving) and Lincoln Marschner (500 free) join the growing list of Mustangs that have qualified for the State Meet.  They will take on Columbine and Valor tomorrow morning in a big league triangular.  This could be a preview of the top finishers at our league meet later on.

Special Dedication at the Track Meet

The 300 hurdles races were dedicated to former Ralston Valley High School 300 hurdle athlete Cameron Holland. Cameron tragically lost his life in a car accident the morning of December 7, 2019. Cam was a celebrated athlete, leader among his peers, and friend to many. Cam's legacy continues through community outreach via the Click It For Cam campaign, reminding drivers of the importance of wearing seatbelts and making positive choices. Cameron's family is here today to award the boy and girl winner of the 300 hurdle races. 

The winners of the 300 were Junior Kyle Phipps (RV - pictures) and Kelsey Shore (Chatfield).  Cameron's mom Kristine (pictured) was on hand to congratulate the winners.

Due to the nature of our campus, we do not allow students to walk off campus during the school day.  

9th-grade students are not allowed off campus at any point during the school day unless they leave with their parent/guardians. 

If your 10th-grade student is driving, they may leave campus with parental permission.  They are expected to follow local and state driving laws.  Please click on this FORM to give your sophomore child the ability to leave campus with your permission.  

Our campus is not closed to our 11th and 12th-grade students and they may leave campus. 

Ninth Grade Advisement

We wish all of our families a wonderful, restful spring break. When the ninth-grade students return on March 27th, their Advisement class will focus on what effective note-taking looks like and revisit strong study habits with help from our peer counselors.
