A Message from Mrs. Osborne...

Hello Students! We have 2 weeks remaining in the 1^st Semester of the 2020-2021 school year. Students should attend Academic Support (which is offered Tuesday through Friday from 1:00 pm to 2:15 pm). If you have any missing assignments, please communicate directly with your teacher and ask for extra help.  We are all here to support you!

As in prior years, SVUSD teachers will continue to have the discretion to determine what the final exam, task or project will entail for their respective courses. However, this year, Hybrid students may elect to complete their final assessment on-campus (in-person) or from home (online) on their scheduled day. Hybrid students choosing to complete their final assessment from home on the day that they are normally scheduled to be in-person will not be penalized for doing so. Please contact your student’s school directly should you have any additional questions.

Congratulations to the following students who are semi-finalists for the 2021 National Merit Scholarship Program: Christopher Pang and Paul Schroller.
