2022 SLV High School Prom Information
- Prom is Tonight at the Coconut Grove Ballroom from 7:30 PM - 10:00 PM
- Non-SLVHS students must have a guest permission slip completed that has been turned in to the admin office
Please Read This Part Carefully - We want everyone who wants to go to Prom to be able to go - And we don't want anyone's Prom night ruined
- Students who are called in sick for any part of that day will not be able to attend Prom, due to COVID protocols of two positive tests during the 24-hour wait period after symptoms
- Students who cut any or all of school that day may not attend Prom - any unexcused absence is a cut
- Seniors must have turned in their Senior Capstone Project before Prom in order to attend Prom
- Prom is a privilege, not a right. Please take care of your business and responsibilities
- Prom is an off-campus school event where all rules of school and the law apply
- Students in possession of or under the influence of drugs or alcohol will need to be picked up immediately and will face school and possible law enforcement consequences
- Please remember that Prom is designed to be a fun night with your friends. Be safe, have fun, make good choices

If you are taking a test next week - READ ALL OF THIS:
Everything in this email applies to ALL TESTS next week. Four tests begin at 8 am and one begins at Noon.
Students must be there 30 minutes before the test begins.
AP Rules are VERY STRICT. Learn them NOW!
We have to follow them exactly or student exams could be nullified. Meaning - they don't count.
If you have a morning Exam, it will begin at 8 am. YOU NEED TO BE THERE BY 7:30 AM!
If you have an afternoon Exam, it will begin at Noon. YOU NEED TO BE THERE BY 11:30 AM!
There is about 20-30 minutes of bubbling and pre-exam instruction that need to be done before we start.
If you are not there when the Exam starts - YOU CANNOT TAKE THE EXAM
I cannot stress enough how important it is that you are on time.
Bring a pencil or two. Bring a black or dark blue pen.
We will have extra pens and pencils, but don't count on somebody else. Take care of yourself.
The tests are three to four hours long. There is a 10 minute break near the middle.
When you arrive, you will be seated at your own table. Tables will be distanced by the rules of Advanced Placement.
When you arrive, you will get your pencils and pens and then everything else goes into your backpack and we collect the backpacks.
THIS INCLUDES YOUR PHONE.
YOUR PHONE MAY NOT BE ON YOUR PERSON DURING THE EXAM.
Not in your pocket, not on your table. It will be turned off, in a separate room. And no - you can't check it during the break.
This is a non-negotiable AP Test rule.
We cannot allow you to test with access to a phone.
Okay - Sorry about all that bolded, highlighted, ALL CAPS stuff, but you need to be aware of how strict the AP rules are and that we have to follow them.
Now that all the mean stuff about being on time and no phone for three whole hours is out of the way...
You got this! You are ready for the test. You can do it!
If you are stressed about the test when it is about to start, do this: Close your eyes - take a deep breath - in through your nose slowly - hold it for 5 seconds - then out through your mouth slowly. Do that 5 times and it will calm your brain and body. I know it sounds weird, but it works.
Best of luck,
Today is the LAST Day to take the Parent Survey - If you haven't had the chance, please do so today!

SLVHS Students at the Youth for Environmental Action Summit
Last week, 18 SLVHS students attended the Youth for Environmental Action Summit at Harvey West Park in Santa Cruz. The event was planned and run by students from across the county, including SLV Junior Avonlea Harwood. There were speakers, including a UCSC professor, a local community organizer, and the Mayor of Santa Cruz. Students participated in mixed-school breakout groups with other leaders to explore various issues regarding climate change, including: greening your campus, building for a more sustainable future, food choices, art for environmental activism, birding, and many more. TAnd there were presentations from students involved in various organizations at their schools that are trying to solve problems and make a better future for all of us.
Thanks to SLVHS teacher Stephanie Beck for putting this trip together and allowing our students to participate in a day that was educational and inspirational.
