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.

After-School Teacher Support Sessions
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!

Trip Abroad to Dominican Republic
Chelsie Osenga, Spanish teacher, is organizing a trip to the Dominican Republic summer of 2022 because of increased interest from families and students at SLVHS for a travel abroad experience. After very successful trips past summers to Costa Rica, Perú, Spain and Panamá, we are traveling to the Dominican Republic in 2022!
The Dominican Republic offers a seamless blend of tropical terrain, rich history, and heritage as well as having an opportunity to be immersed in the Spanish language and converse with native speakers. From evergreen rainforests, to idyllic oceanside villages, and bustling city squares, you’ll explore colorful island life from a local perspective, gaining a sense of community as you visit an environmental school and art nonprofit.
Ms. Osenga will be hosting a mandatory virtual parent informational meeting on October 21st at 6:00 pm for all those who are interested!
Please join our meeting to hear all the details including the itinerary, dates, and cost of this trip. The meeting will also mark the official opening of enrollment!
Please click here to reserve your spot at the meeting: https://rsvp.eftours.com/hghannm
You must reserve your spot to attend. We will meet on zoom at 6pm on Thursday, October 21, 2021. A link will be sent to you after I get your RSVP.
I hope you will consider this great opportunity. Please don't hesitate to ask questions, and consider signing up early as space is limited.
