We are fast approaching the end of the year! Our Seniors are busy making graduation plans and studying for finals. All of our students have been working very hard to finish the year off strong! We have had a busy week in Alternative Education! We spent this past week celebrating our awesome teaching staff for Teacher Appreciation Week, students were busy helping with campus space redesign, numerous community building activities were taking place… the list goes on!
Class of 2024:
We are very excited to celebrate the incredible achievements of our graduating Senior class, representing so many cultures, languages, and dreams. To honor the wealth of our diverse community, we would love to WELCOME our guests in as many languages as possible representing all of the families in our Alt ed community during our graduation ceremony. If you are a graduate, please let us know what language you would like to welcome your family and friends in!

MAY RESOLUTIONS
Classified School Employee Week - May 19-25, 2024
San Ramon Valley Unified School District recognizes the week of May 19-25, 2024 as Classified School Employee Week. Classified employees serve a vital role in creating strong, effective schools and district offices. Classified employees support students in the classroom, perform vital clerical, office, and technology functions, prepare and serve student meals, perform custodial, maintenance, and grounds services, serve as bus drivers and crossing guards, and administer other essential services that ensure that our students, campuses, and offices run smoothly and effectively. The SRVUSD Board of Education supports the celebration of Classified School Employee Week and recognizes the outstanding contributions provided by the district’s classified employees.
Mental Health Awareness Month - May
San Ramon Valley Unified School District recognizes the month of May as Mental Health Awareness Month. The Centers for Disease Control (CDC) reports that 13-20% of youth ages 13-18 have a diagnosed mental health disorder in the United States. With the rise in stress, fear, uncertainty, and suicidal thoughts, addressing the mental health needs of children, youth, and families is critical. The Board of Education commits that SRVUSD will intentionally commit to: Increasing awareness and understanding of mental health for our entire educational community; helping our children, youth and adults be aware of the steps they can take to protect their mental health; and providing appropriate and accessible services for all people, especially children and youth with mental health conditions.
