The staff and students sincerely appreciate groups, businesses and organizations that would like to support Ruby Van Meter students with donations of school supplies. The needs of our students differ from those of students in regular educational settings. Every child in our building has their own individualized education plan, so we use few textbooks. Staff often create their own learning materials to help our students with creative, social, math and communication skills. Take a look at our AMAZON WISH LIST for donation ideas. If you make an Amazon purchase for us, please be sure to add a message so we know who to thank. We can always use: Backpacks Facial Tissues (Kleenex) Paper Towels Bubbles Matchbox Cars Play-Do Small bags of Snacks Velcro Washable Markers Colorful Duct Tape Batteries (AA and 9 Volt) Postage Stamps DMPS policy prevents us from accepting Amazon (or any other type) of gift cards at this time. The State of Iowa requires students entering grades 7 and 12 to have the Meningococcol vaccination before starting school. Make your appointments now to avoid delays in the fall.
