Parent Survey

SLV High is preparing for a March visit from WASC, the Western Association of Schools and Colleges.

This is the entity that visits schools and determines whether a school meets the qualifications to continue to be accredited as a high school that offers diplomas. All schools go through this process on seven-year cycles. 

We have been gathering information for our Self-Study Report, which we will submit to WASC in January before they visit us on campus in March.

One important piece of information is to get feedback from parents.  We have created a short survey that should take about five minutes to fill out.

Some of these questions come from past surveys and others were generated by staff this year during our WASC meetings.

Thank you so much for supporting SLVHS and we appreciate you taking the time to fill out the survey.

Last Three Shows for our Student-Directed Production of The End of the World (With Prom to Follow)

Come see our talented thespians perform in the SLV Performing Arts Center at 7:00 pm

Show Information:

Friday, October 22 and SaturdayOctober 23 at 7:00 p.m. Sunday, October 25th at 2:00 p.m.

Tickets: $12 General $10 Student/Senior/SLV Staff $10 Community Night - all tickets

Get your tickets for The End of the World (With Prom to Follow), written by Sean Abley, a contemporary play co-directed by SLVHS seniors Jacqueline Lopez and Shimona Miller. The play is set in Great Falls, Montana. The students of Charles M. Russell High School awake to find no parents, no siblings, no teachers. Everyone but the student body has vanished. It might sound like a dream to some high schoolers, but for these teenagers it is the stuff of reality. There is a Wall of Light encircling their town that is progressively moving inward and their town is steadily disappearing. In the face of this mystery, the students band together...and splinter apart. What can they do to stop it? What's on the other side? Will there still be time for one last dance? An exciting drama/comedy, this play explores mortality, friendship, and the survival of ethics when survival itself is at stake. Performances are at the SLV Performing Arts Center (PAC).

Dear Friends of SLVHS

We are writing to encourage you to make a donation to the Cougar Club, the EDUCATIONAL BOOSTER CLUB of San Lorenzo Valley High School. We sponsor many important programs for our students, including college preparation and career readiness programs; enrichment film and speaker programs on topics such as financial responsibility, mental health awareness, and healthy relationships; community building activities; and student service awards. We also fund equipment and classroom supplies for our teachers. 

Last year all our fundraising efforts went to the victims of the devastating CZU fire. We raised close to $13,000 that was distributed to all high school families who lost their homes. Thank you for your incredible generosity! 

This year, being back to sort-of-normal, we are again asking for your support for our regular programming. Please consider donating $20, $100, or more - donations of any amount are appreciated and all donations are tax deductible. Our goal is to raise $7500 so don’t forget corporate matching - make sure your employer matches your donation!
