Principal’s Message
from Jeff Calden
New Schedule
Thanks to everyone for being so on top of everything with the new schedule. We had 91% of students access our Monday Special Classes. Make sure to check in next Monday for new information, activities, and assignments that count for your Monday work. The newer, shorter blocks and afternoon opportunities also seem to be working out well and the feedback I am getting is positive. Keep pushing through. Know that you are being educated and you are preparing yourself for whatever comes next for you in your education or your life.
Not everybody can say that right now. You have the opportunity to come out the other side of this ready to move forward once the world starts to get back to normal.
Have a great weekend.
Congratulations to SLVHS Sophomore Marco Evans for Qualifying for State Science and Engineering Fair
Marco Evans participated in this year’s Santa Cruz County Science and Engineering Fair and qualified for the California Science and Engineering Fair for his project titled: Application of Vacuum Panels as Insulation. Thanks to Jennifer McRae, Science Coordinator at the Santa Cruz COE, for organizing this Virtual Science Fair so that students could still participate after all their hard work on these projects. Way to go, Marco!

A sign-up sheet will be sent out on Monday the 19th.
