PAC works in cooperation with the school administration and teachers in order to enhance the educational experience of the students at RVE. As a principal, I rely on the voice of PAC to guide in the decisions that are made at the school. Please sign up for the PAC email list and please come out to the meetings. You are all PAC members and your voice is valued. PS: At RVE, we try to send home as little paper notices as possible. Future communications, when possible, will be through emails from me or from the PAC. Please ensure that you read through the weekly Principal's Message and keep the office and PAC informed of your latest email address. Sincerely, Mike Snedden Principal Rose Valley Elementary 250-870-5146 michael.snedden@sd23.bc.ca At RVE we Respect and Value Everyone
