Dear Families and Community Members,
Earlier today, our RV/SRMS school campus was evacuated following a wall graffiti bomb threat. We want to assure you that emergency officials have now CLEARED the campus and confirmed that it is safe.
While we are grateful for the quick response of law enforcement and first responders, it is important to recognize the seriousness of this situation. Threats of any kind—whether written, spoken, or acted upon—are NEVER a joke. They disrupt learning, create fear, and will carry very serious consequences.
We strongly encourage all parents to speak with your children about the severity of making threats and the lasting impact such actions have on our entire community.
Please know school officials are working closely with law enforcement to determine the individual responsible. When identified, that person will be held fully accountable.
The safety of our students and staff remains our top priority, and we thank you for your partnership and support in reinforcing this message at home.
We would like to send our sincere appreciation to families, staff, and students for your cooperation and assistance following safety protocols. Thank you as well to our local emergency officials for keeping us all safe.
RVHS CTC students who drive will remain for the full day at CTC and will not be released home early. Thank you
We want to inform you, out of an abundance of caution RVHS and SRMS were evacuated this morning following a found graffiti threat of a bomb.

Dear Families,
Over the past few years, school supplies for our students have been generously funded through COVID-19 stimulus dollars. These funds have now expired, and we want to ensure you’re aware of what that means going forward.
In McDowell; schools DO NOT issue formal supply lists as you will see in other states/areas as we follow WV code. Instead, teachers will share at Open House events em ‼️ suggested items that families may choose to purchase, if they are able. These suggestions are meant to support your child’s learning, but they are not mandatory. Most schools will still have ample suppliess left over from last year.
Please remember that our Communities In Schools (CIS) facilitators are always here to support your family. If your child needs school supplies or anything else to help them thrive, do not hesitate to reach out. We’re committed to making sure every student is prepared and ready to succeed.
Thank you for being a valued part of our school community!
