RVCS TEXTBOOK LIST
The textbook lists which follow provide a compilation of what books have been adopted/purchased
to support the RVCS curriculum. The curriculum, which is reviewed annually, contains the mastery
exit objectives and detailed information for each content area at each grade level. Textbooks are one
of many supplemental resources used to accomplish these objectives. You will notice that some
books with older copyrights are used. They are considered valuable and not outdated regarding the
subject. New books and resources are adopted using an evaluation process. You will find this as the
next to last page of this document. The final page contains the RVCS Curriculum Review Policy.
