San Lorenzo Valley Charter School Home

And now the 2020-21 school year has ended.  The summer has begun and it appears that we can continue to step into normal routines. May you all stay safe and healthy and may you enjoy plenty of joyful days with family and friends doing activities that rejuvenate you. ...Many of our teachers will be spending extra time getting their new classrooms ready for your children, their students.  Many of them are collaborating together to prepare for next year and are participating in Professional Development classes over the summer to further enhance their teaching for next year. The first day of school is August 17th.  Our teachers will be back to work on August 12. You can expect a personal letter from them soon after they get back to work.

Many programs have begun their end-of-year conferences and hybrid groups are no longer coming to campus, instead focusing on their last assignments at home when not meeting with their teacher. Nature Academy will have hybrid classes this week and next week the teachers have some special events planned. And welcome back to our 6th grade Nature Academy students! They were the first class that was able to go on an overnight field excursion (COVID protocols in place of course) since the start of the Pandemic over a year ago. ...

We are but a month away from the last day of school, June 3rd. Thankfully students have been able to be on-site with their teachers and classmates for several weeks now.  As mentioned before, we are maintaining the focus of the kids having time to connect and work with hand’s-on elements of their learning.... It is great that staff can build on their class/program culture, offering at least a little in-person groundwork in preparation for students working together next year. If everyone..... May is a quick month with lots of end of year wrap up as well as planning for next year. This newsletter will help you keep up to date with what is happening.
