News & Announcement

DUE to Severe Weather and Downed Trees We Have Decided To Cancel Tonight. INSTEAD, we will post our presentation...

We had our All-Homeschool Charter night last week and have our Nature Academy Information night coming up. We had a strong turnout with much excitement about the valuable changes we, as a staff, have made for next year’s homeschool elementary and middle school programs. Please read more below for more information and share with your friends who may want a more personalized learning experience with our many social-emotional and educational field excursions that tie learning to real world applications.

We have heard back from the WASC commission. The ACS WASC Commissioners have determined SLVUSD Charter School (K-12) meets the ACS WASC criteria for accreditation. It is the decision of the Commission to grant six-year accreditation status through June 30, 2029. This is great news! This accreditation status is based on all of the information provided by the school, including the school's report, and the satisfactory completion of the accreditation visit.

This is a brief Charter News, wishing you all a nice three day weekend as we have Monday, tomorrow off.
I am still appreciating the memories of our All-Charter play. We have such talented students, and there were so many great voices so many memorable songs,, such fun characters, and cameo opportunities for all ages..even for our musicians that wanted to highlight their expertise.

Congratulations to all the 70+ students who participated in our All Charter play! I was able to watch it during the Friday afternoon performance and can say that I thought that each and every student gave it their all. What a fun and memorable play. Thanks so much Amber Walker for leading this play. It is so great to have it back again as one of our All-Charter events that unites our students in such a dynamic way.

The heavy storms seem to have past us and we have some sunny weeks ahead.  When I see students on campus, it is evident how glad they are to be back on-site and working with their friends and peers. This email has some important updates on bus routes, for those of you who have their students take it to and from the school.

What a terrific Winter Craft Fair we had!  It was the first time that we had students from every program participate.  Having our Nature Academy program participate expanded the event, bringing over 75 students into the mix of vendors, buyers, and browsers. We had over 40 students/families selling items.

I trust you are all busy relaxing now that our Thanksgiving Break has started.  We all wish you a safe, healthy, and happy week off.  We wish you good times with family and friends, with an opportunity to give thanks to all the large and small joys and aspects of your life.  May your holiday be filled with playful moments, sounds of laughter, and times to slow down and appreciate all that is good around you.

We are a third of the way through the school year.  Our high school students have had their quarterly review and update on their grades and progress. Our Nature Academy students have competed their first trimester, students have turned in their self-reflections on their progress standards-aligned grading.  Our K-8 homeschool students are continuing with their work, with teacher meetings and/or check-ins continuing and will have their full reflection time at the close of the semester.
