Student ASB Cards and ID Cards
Thank you to all the students who remember to have their cards on them at all times. At Our Football game on 8/24, MOST of you remembered to bring it, which made for shorter lines! Please remember to carry your ID at all times while at school or at any SRVHS event. If you need a replacement, please see Ms. Bellamy in Attendance, the cost is $10.00

Attendance Information
Every School Day Counts! September is Attendance Awareness Month and at SRV we are going to see which SRV class (2019, 20, 21, 22) can have the least school wide tardies! The class that collectively has the least amount of tardies the week of September 17-21 will win a class sweet treat prize the following week!

SRVHS Bike Racks
Please be aware that student bikes racks have been relocated to the front of the S wing, facing Danville Blvd.  These racks are located in front of the Old Staff Lounge under the S5 and S6 elevated classroom walkways. Please do not lock up bicycles in other areas of the campus as this creates a hazard and sometimes limits the ability to access certain areas on campus for people with disabilities.

Community Parking
Danville Square (Trader Joe's center) has requested that parents refrain from dropping off and/or picking up students in the shopping center parking lot and that students refrain from parking at the center during school hours. Those in violation may be subject to tow.  Thank you in advance for your cooperation!

Breaking Down The Walls program is back at SRV
We brought the 3 day program to our school last year, and received extremely positive feedback. If you aren't familiar with the program, here are some details to help you understand how it works:
  1. One of Learning for Living's top motivational speakers will hold an assembly (Tuesday is an assembly schedule) focusing on school climate and setting the tone for the week ahead, which is powerful in that it reaches the entire student body, not just participants.
  2. That afternoon a leader training meeting will be held to teach them skills including leadership, listening, motivation, and positive role modeling. This prepares students to hold small group workshops on the September 12/13 sessions.
  3. September 12 & 13 will be workshop days, which includes 175 student participants along with half of the trained leaders. Facilitated by Learning for Living's staffs and the SRVHS Leadership Class, this intense six-hour session will change our student's impressions of their school, peers, and, most importantly, themselves. Students will walk away with a new appreciation for their individuality and their effect on campus, as well as a new feeling of belonging in our student body, and will be ready to plant the seeds of these same attributes in their friends, families, and community. To watch the video version, please click this link:  http://learningforliving.com/breaking-down-the-walls/
  4. We have invited all SRV students to participate through their schoolloop email. We are looking for students of all kinds to attend Breaking Down the Walls. We also have staff members who will be participating as well!

New to SRVHS: Make-A-Wish
This year the students of San Ramon Valley High School came together with a goal of raising money to support Make-A-Wish Bay Area, in order to put on a 'Wish Week' at SRV, and sponsor a wish. Wish week is a one-week-long event where we partner with the Make-A-Wish Foundation to sponsor a child with a life-threatening medical condition. As a school, we will hold several events throughout the week in order to raise money to grant Wishes. This year, we aim to hold Wish Week February 5-9, 2019 wrapping up the week with a rally. In order to 'sponsor a wish' we must raise $10,000 by December of 2018. By December if we have reached our goal to sponsor our wish kid, we would (if the wish kid shall choose to attend) hold the reveal of their wish, along with showing them what SRV spirit looks like at the rally. In regards to the $10,000 needed by December, we have a page in which you can donate directly to (bottom of email), as well as some events, and fundraisers in which we will be pairing with local business that will take place in the early 2018-2019 school year. Any and all donations are highly appreciated and we cannot wait for the word to spread throughout the community about this life-changing event. Be sure to check out SRV Media, who is helping grant a Wish. Be sure to stay tuned via Instagram (@srvhswolfpack) and Twitter (@WERSR). Donate here: http://site.wish.org/goto/SRVHSWishWeek18

Athletic Boosters
Jeff Romrell

Dear SRV Families,

Athletics are an important part of our school culture.  In combination with all the phenomenal extracurriculars, athletics add to the strong academics to make SRVHS the truly extraordinary school it is.
As you know athletics are almost entirely "self-funded" at SRV.  
Athletic programs do not receive funding for equipment, uniforms, transportation, officials, or most coaching stipends from the district.  An important part of the funding comes from Athletic Boosters. Historically, Athletic Boosters has given $70,000 to the Athletic Department in addition to the approximately $35,000 they give directly to the 22 men's and women's teams at SRV.  

This year the number of Athletic Boosters members is down significantly which has left a huge shortfall in Athletic Boosters main source of funding.  Membership revenue is currently at approximately $65,000 versus the four year average of $101,831. With this shortfall, Athletic Boosters will not be able to fund the Athletic Department or the 22 individual teams at the level they have historically.  Obviously this will present a problem so we urge those of you who have not already joined to consider becoming Athletic Boosters Members. There are three levels of Athletic Booster Memberships - Bronze, Silver and Gold. Each comes with cards that entitle free entry to regular season home Football and Basketball games for an adult and two children under age 14 within the same family. The number of cards varies depending on the membership level you purchase.

We would like to thank those of you who supported Athletic Boosters and invite the rest of you to become members.  Here are the links to our memberships:

Bronze Membership - $200
Silver Membership - $300
Gold Membership - $500

Thank you for supporting SRVHS Athletics!  Go Wolves!

Sincerely,
Jeff Romrell
President, Athletic Boosters

Class of 2019 News
Class Parent Reps

Dear Parents and Students of the Class of 2019,

Congratulations on being a Senior! The year comes with many exciting celebrations and events. With the District changes in the calendar, senior year activities are a little more challenging to schedule since April and May are very busy times of the year. SRV Student Leadership and the Senior Class Officers wanted to keep everyone aware of what the Spring events will look like. Last year we spent time after the year was over reviewing the schedule with the students of 2018 to get their input. Overall they enjoyed the May schedule, but parents found it a bit more challenging.

This year we have the following challenges:
  • AP Tests do not start until May 6th
  • Memorial Day falls the Monday of Finals week
  • We tried to move the 2019 Senior Ball to April but only Friday nights were available. We have had our Senior Ball contract set for 3 years.

New Change: Seniors have had an interest to try the Disney Overnight Trip (DVHS and MV have been doing the trip the last few years) With this add we have decided to drop Discovery Kingdom, as interest and enrollment has decreased over the last few years. The Disneyland trip is not run through the school but through USA Travel, but we do work on the logistics with the company and provide all the chaperones.

Senior Year at a Glance:
  • 9/7 Hurricane Harbor (owned by Six Flags- formerly Waterworld)
  • 5/11-5/12 Disneyland Grad Trip Celebration (optional) sign ups through USA Travel. Trip Info and Inclusions: Deluxe motor coach transportation to and from school; Admission to Disneyland and Disney's California Adventure; After party meal
  • 5/18 Senior Ball at the Academy of Science in SF (optional)
  • 5/19 Baccalaureate (inspirational service, free, optional) for all members and families of the Class of 2019 at Community Presbyerian in Danville.
  • 5/20-24 Greek Games during school at lunch (optional); sign ups in April.
  • 5/31 Graduation 6:00pm, SRV Football Field.
  • 5/31 Grad Night, PTSA Sponsored Event

ATTENTION SENIORS! If you have not registered to go on the Senior Hurricane Harbor trip, see Mrs. Bellamy in the Attendance Office during BRUNCH or LUNCH with $85 (cash or check made out to SRV) by Thursday August 30 . If you are not sure if you registered at registration time, all seniors were emailed the list last week through their SchoolLoop account. The trip includes your senior panoramic picture, transportation, lunch and unlimited rides at the park. We meet on Friday, September 7th at 8:00am for the panoramic picture on the stadium field. Pack light for the day! More information and details about the day will be emailed next week. Any other questions email jwillford@srvusd.net

Yearbook Ads: Attention Senior Parents!
Now is the time to create and purchase an ad for your graduating senior in this year's yearbook. Make sure you get your ad in early, as our space is limited and once we run out we will not have additional space for ads. Please click here to access the flyer with more detailed information, and contact yearbook adviser Jill Orozco at jwinkler@srvusd.net  for any questions.

Class Parent Reps

SRVHS Homecoming is coming!  Yes - it really is.  The Class of 2021 (SOPHOMORES!!!) is urgently looking for a few parents to take the lead for the Float Build! These lead parents will help the leadership students take their float visions on to become a reality and oversee the build of the float by the kids. Creative people wanted!  Handy people wanted! It's a rewarding experience and our kids need parents on board to make the annual parade day happen. If you think you can help us, please send an email to one of the class parent reps. THANK YOU!

ACTION ITEMS

We need a 20'-25' Flatbed Truck for our 2022 Homecoming Float

Does anyone have a connection for borrowing a Flatbed Truck (20-25 ft in length) to use for our 2022 Homecoming float building & parade? We would need the truck from Wednesday 10/10 to Saturday 10/13, plus an adult 'C Class' licensed driver. If we can't find a loaner, we will use approximately $600 of our donations to rent one because we do need the truck to drive the float in the Homecoming parade.
