Students that are hoping to attend a comprehensive school during the 25-26 school year should put in a transfer request to the comprehensive school of their choice. Schools are in the process of requesting classes for next school year. If students know they would like to be part of the comprehensive school community, they should make this request as soon as possible as it will become more difficult to be in the classes of their choice, the further into spring we go.


Transfer requests can be put in HERE.


Seniors: Have you completed the Free Application for Student Aid? (FAFSA) Many schools are requiring this as a step in enrollment to choose classes. Even though the form is available until June 30, 2025, don't be the last to complete it. Less money will be available the longer students wait. The form has become much more user friendly in the last couple of years. Students will need their parents' tax information and other important demographics. See Ms. Kruse if you have any questions in filling out the form, or want assistance in filling out the form.

IMPORTANT PRESENTATIONS

Click link above. San Ramon Valley Unified School District recognizes the month of March as Women’s History Month. Women of every race and ethnic background have contributed to our country’s triumphs and accomplishments in countless ways and continue to play critical roles in the economic, cultural, and social spheres of our nation. Women of diverse backgrounds have served as leaders at the forefront of every major progressive social change movement and although their efforts have been overlooked or undervalued in the past, they hold an important place in the body of American and world history.


Click link above. San Ramon Valley Unified School District recognizes the month of March as Arts Education Month. Education in the arts is an indispensable part of basic education for all students to enhance their understanding of the world and to develop to their full potential. Instruction in the arts helps children foster creativity, self-expression, and discipline. The arts are also important repositories of culture and experience. SRVUSD is proud to focus on the value of arts education, especially during the month of March.

Prescription medications such as stimulants, sedatives, and opioids hold powerful medical benefits however can have serious consequences and additive risks. Overdoses are on the rise in our community, county and nation. SRVUSD participates in the CA Department of Health Services’ Naloxone Distribution Project and district schools have a stock of the opioid overdose rescue medication Naloxone. SRVUSD encourages drug abuse awareness, education, and prevention of all citizens.

Looking for volunteer hours this summer? SRVEF's Summer Imagineering Program is in need of high school students to serve as mentors in their STEAM classes. Week-long Imagineering classes are held from June 16th through July 18th with morning and afternoon sessions. They are in particular need of mentors for their July classes. You can learn more about becoming a mentor, and if you are interested, please apply here.

We want to inform you that over the next couple of months, our students will be participating in the CAASPP Interim Assessments for both English Language Arts (ELA) and Math. These interim assessments are an excellent way for us to monitor student progress and identify areas that may need additional support before the actual testing period.

Please note that the official CAASPP testing will take place in April. We will be sharing the detailed testing schedule with you as we get closer to the date.

Thank you for your continued support in helping our students succeed. If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to reach out to our Admin TSA, Brandi Brown, at bbrown@srvusd.net.
