SV communicates A LOT of weekly information to our families, most through our website and phone messages! You can access monthly newsletters on our website: svs. fsusd.org Reminders: email me if you are not receiving emails at jasw@fsusd.org

SV is a K-8 elementary school with limited parking, which makes traffic a mess. We appreciate your help in making sure our kids get to school safely and following our traffic patterns that are already set up! If you do park to pick up your child please walk to pick them up in the front of the school. Students are not allowed to walk to you for safety reasons.

SV is COLLEGE CRAZY! It is our job to give our students the tools and foundation to go to college if they so choose! This is why every Wednesday is College Spirit Day and every classroom has “adopted” a college to learn about and love!

SV follows three school rules that we review with our students: Be Safe, Be Responsible, and Be Respectful! We strive to ensure that our students follow these throughout the day and are positively reinforced with Good News Referrals, Caught You Doing Right Cards, Dragon Awards and Praise!

SV follows the Common Core State Standards www.cde.ca.gov/re/cc/

Students in grades 3rd-8th grade will be taking a computerized test called the Smarter Balanced Assessment Consortium (SBAC) in the spring 2015
