Dear Sycamore Valley Families:
We hope you will be able to join us this evening for Open House, 6:00pm - 7:00pm. Our students have been working hard to prepare for this event and are looking forward to sharing their classwork with you. Open House is always a fun event where we can welcome all of our families. Please stop by the MPR to see the art show while you are here. Mrs. Silvestri, our art teacher, is very excited to share the artwork prepared by our amazing students.

District Updates:
JUNE:
Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender and Queer (LGBTQ+) Pride Month
San Ramon Valley Unified School District recognizes the month of June as Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender and Queer (LGBTQ+) Pride Month. SRVUSD models, advocates and actively supports the inclusive and respectful treatment of all students, employees, family members, and community members. Lack of awareness and understanding of issues facing LGBTQ+ youth has contributed to high rates of school dropout, academic failure, school disengagement, and self-harm. June is a time to celebrate our dynamic LGBTQ+ community, raise awareness of services, and foster dialogue to promote healthy, safe, and fulfilling school climates for all. Flying the progress pride flag at the District office and all District sites during the month of June symbolizes the celebration of diversity and support for the LGBTQ+ community.
Please keep reading for some upcoming event information, important dates and other PTA/Shark Fund News.
Thank you,
Patricia Kawahara
Principal
