The UC and CSU applications are open!
Include this blurb in your UC application or Common Application
Sonoma Valley High School (SVHS) adopted a Credit/No Credit policy for the Spring 2020 Semester as a result of school closures due to Covid-19. Sonoma Valley Unified School District moved to a Distance Learning policy for the Fall 2020 Semester. Students will be issued grades and credits based on class participation, homework and testing. A-F grades will be issued at the end of the Fall 2020 Semester. SVHS will resume in-class instruction, hybrid or regular, when it is safe to return to the classroom.
Students may cut and paste the above policy into the "additional comments" or under the additional comments section of the academic history portion of the UC application. Students may also use this blurb for any college applications - please use in the most appropriate segment of the college application.
ALL seniors should complete FAFSA/Dream Act financial aid applications!
Please bring your 2019 taxes, social security number, if applicable, and a parent to the virtual event(s).
10,000 Degrees has created a video toolkit in English and Spanish to guide you through the process. Please try to complete the FSA ID before attending either event as time will be limited.
