Friday, November 1 = End of 12 week grading Cycle
Next Friday marks the end of the 12-week grading cycle. These academic and citizenship grades will be used for Athletic Eligibility; please remind your students to have all of their work turned in to have the highest GPA possible.
Anticipating the piles of late work, Valhalla will have a minimum bell schedule on this day to help teachers update their grade books.
AP Exam ordering begins this week and ends on November 4th!
Order forms are available from your AP teacher as well as the Finance Office.
Students must be registered in AP Classroom in order to purchase an exam. Ask your AP Teacher to verify AP Classroom registration.
Exam payment must be submitted in person at the Finance Office before 4:00pm on November 4th to avoid the $40 late fee (per exam). Checks can be made out to Valhalla High School.
Additional details can be found on the AP page of the VHS website.
Students and parents/guardians with questions related to exam registration should contact Assistant Principal Kuhlken at vkuhlken@guhsd.net. Questions about Valhalla's Honors/AP program and/or AP Classroom registration should be addressed to Bill Lourey, Valhalla's GATE Coordinator, at blourey@guhsd.net.
Valhalla Athletics

Winter Sports start in NOVEMBER - all winter athletes must complete the Clearance Process, even if they participated in a fall sport.
If you are involved in athletics at Valhalla and are interested in competing at the college level, I highly recommend clicking the NCSA - College Recruitment link for information about the NCAA Eligibility Center process.
This is a great opportunity to create a profile to plan and prepare for this possibility; there's a place for you to play.

We are excited to announce a new college and career planning platform to all of our Valhalla students called CaliforniaColleges.edu (CCGI). We will be using this tool with all grade levels to help students explore their options after high school. Please read thisletterfor more information.
