Graduation is a formal event.  You are not obligated to participate in the ceremony, but if you choose to do so, you MUST attend rehearsals for the entire time.

This is so we can ensure that the ceremony goes well and you feel proud to have been part of this ceremony.

Failure to attend rehearsals can result in you NOT being allowed to participate in the ceremony. If you have a legitimate conflict please contact Mrs. Hackett.

 

PLEASE BE PROMPT!  IF WE DON’T START ON TIME, WE STAY LATER!!!

 

 

 

Wednesday June 8 - Class of 2022 Graduation Ceremony - SLVHS Football Field - 10:00 am to 11:30 am

SLVHS is planning for a full graduation with no limits on guests.  We hope as much as you do that this does not change.

We will allow families to sit on the field in designated areas either on blankets on the turf or with sled-chairs only. No Chair Legs or canopies on the Field.

People may also use the bleachers and put up pop-ups on either side of the bleachers in designated areas.  

We are hoping for an old-fashioned graduation at SLVHS.

 

WHAT TO WEAR FOR GRADUATION.  Graduates MUST wear a red cap and gown or a black cap and gown. You may decorate your cap but not your gown.  During the ceremony, only school-awarded medals, cords, and pins may be worn.  A single floral lei is also permitted.  Inappropriate items (or YOU) may be removed from the ceremony.  Gowns must be zipped up from the time we start walking to the field until the graduation ceremony is over.  

Wedge shoes are OK, but NO HEELS due to field conditions. 

Email questions about attire in advance to Mrs. Hackett: [email protected]

 

 

REMEMBER -- ALL SCHOOL RULES ARE IN EFFECT!  Please do not attempt to take anything with you under your gown.  

What might seem like fun at the time could prove to be very embarrassing if we have to pull you out of the procession at the last minute.  

You are representing your very proud families today!

Next Year - A Short Preview

As we close up the 2021-22 School Year we are already making Plans for 2022-23

 

We gathered quite a bit of survey data this year from Parents, Students, and our WASC Visiting Committee.

This information is important to us and we will be looking at what people had to say, their ideas, suggestions, and concerns.

There are always things brought up in these surveys that help us to plan as we move forward.

Thank you to those who filled out these surveys.

 

Next year we are also starting a new program with students and staff around our Student Learning Objectives as we reflect and act upon issues social, emotional, behavioral, and academic that we have seen in this first year post-distance learning.  We are going to have a more formal program to educate our students on what it means to be a student and a citizen - and that includes speaking up and letting us know when you see something that is not okay. We have always had education in these areas for our students with different programs, speakers, push-in visits to classrooms, presentations, and other ways that have been successful. But now, more than ever it feels like time for a more formal process school-wide. We have been working on this for a few months now - creating a graduate profile, remaking our Student Learning Objectives, and discussing ways to kickstart next year working with students and each other to discover what it means to be SLV Strong.

 

 

 

 

 

Good News from Student Nutrition

In 2020, we had a donation that allowed us to pay off all negative balances. 

With free meals since then, no student owes any money on their account.

However, we do have seniors that will have Positive balances on their accounts.

Complete the link below to decide what you would like done with your balance.
