Thanks for supporting your students with distance learning! We understand the tremendous challenges this places on all of you and appreciate all you are doing to help your SV student!
Don't forget, students should be connecting with each of their six teachers twice a week via Google Classroom, Virtual Classes, and/or assignments. Students can email teachers with any assignments or questions they may have. Teachers are tracking to ensure that every student completes work/check in with them every week. Please be sure that students stay connected.
Please see the attached district-wide schedule to ensure they are meeting with their teachers.

Celebrating our 8th-Grade Students!
Sierra Vista's Campus is CLOSED and LOCKED! Please continue to communicate with your students that the campus is off limits. We kindly ask that no one comes on campus for any reason. This includes using the basketball courts and fields. If your student enjoys skateboarding, please ask them NOT to climb over/under fences and come on campus to skateboard. It is unsafe for our students to be here unattendend and we don't want to see anyone getting hurt.
