Wishing everyone a safe and happy Thanksgiving!
All school and district offices will be closed Monday, November 21st through Friday, November 25th for the Thanksgiving Break. We hope everyone has a safe and happy Thanksgiving break.
Just like adults do, students sometimes get stuck, feel stressed or get overwhelmed at school. SVUSD's Exceptional Student Services Department is hosting a Coping Skills & Self Regulation Night for students and families to learn about ways to help navigate those feelings. Learn about resources available, practice activities that help refocus, and much more. Everyone is welcome to attend on Thursday, November 17th from 4-6pm at Town & Country Elementary Cafeteria.
Thank you to the men and women who have served in our nation's armed forces. In honor of Veterans Day, all schools and offices will be closed today.
The school letter grades for the 2021-2022 school year came out and our school's did amazing!! We even had 2 schools that made a 2 letter grade jump up. Thank you to all the staff, students and parents who made this possible.
Stay tuned over the next few weeks for our celebrations and our plan to bring every site to an A school!

It is National School Psychologist week and here at SVUSD we have a great group that support our students! School psychologists provide direct support and interventions to students, consult with teachers, families, and other school-employed mental health professionals (i.e., school counselors, school social workers) to improve support strategies, work with school administrators to improve school-wide practices and policies, and collaborate with community providers to coordinate needed services.
Thank you for shining bright in our school family!
Joyce Clark celebrated some PBIS Superstars at last week's Governing Board Meeting. Corynn, a 7th grader, is always positive and is there to help others when needed. Ruben, an 8th grader, is respectful all the time and is always encouraging others.
Ms. Hays, Ms. Lassiter and Ms. Dion are the Coyote Staff Superstars. All of them are always empowering others to do their best and keeps an eye out for safe, respectful and responsible behaviors. Thank you to all of our PBIS Superstars!!!
It is always fun to have Halloween at school! Many of our sites held costume parades for student's to show off their costumes. Even staff got dressed up! Check out some of staff Halloween Costumes from across the district. We hope everyone had a safe and fun Halloween!
