parent survey

Parent Survey 2022 - A chance for your feedback to earn money for our school! Please respond.

SLVUSD is looking to gather feedback from our families regarding our Academic, Communication, and Learning Environment goals. 

We anticipate the survey will take from five to seven minutes to complete. 

The valuable feedback that you submit will provide the district and the site with important information as we plan for the 2022-23 school year. 

The survey will only be open from Friday, April 15th through Friday, April 29th.

 

Click here to take the survey

 

And here's a little something extra!  This year there is a contest between our SLVUSD schools to see who can get the highest percentage of surveys completed.

And there is MONEY on the line!!!

 

Each school will receive additional site funds for student/teacher resources based on the percentage of parents that complete the survey for their site.
The breakdown for the financial incentive is as follows (percentage represents participation):

10% = $1,000
20% = $2,000
30% = $3,000
40% = $4,000
50% = $5,000

And, the site with the highest percentage of completed surveys will receive an additional $5,000!!! 

Each site is ready for the challenge and believes that it will be their parents that will achieve the highest percentage of completed surveys. 

Let's do this!!!!  Give us your feedback, win some money for our school, and maybe some bragging rights as well!

music festival flyer

San Lorenzo Valley Music and Art Festival on Wednesday, April 27th

SLV High School Music Boosters and Art Boosters invites our community to a fun evening of music and student art!
Despite a year and a half of online learning, the music program on all four SLV campuses grew. 

We have so many students now that we no longer fit in  the high school gym for our annual district wide concert! 

We are excited to expand to our new venue at Roaring Camp and to include more of our community in this free event.  

There is no need for cooking; we will have 2 dinner food trucks, Aunt Lali's ice cream truck, and Cruz Coffee on location from Food Trucks a Go Go. 

Bring your chairs and picnic blankets as the event will be held outside on the grass meadow.
A silent and live auction will take place to help raise money for our growing music program.
Come show your support. Let's celebrate our talented students in our valley!
