School Climate Student Survey – April 26, 2022

On Tuesday, April 26, 2022, we will be administering the annual School Climate Student Survey to all students during our 3rd period classes.  The S.C. Department of Education now requires all students in Grades 3-12 to take this survey, which is used in rating schools in the state.  There are no right or wrong answers.  Students will read each question or statement and pick the best answer.  Students will be using their Chromebooks to complete the survey.  This survey is not about a particular teacher, subject or class but it is about your overall experience while at SVHS. It is very important that you provide honest answers so that we have good information to help us improve as a school.

The overall school bell schedule will not be adjusted on Tuesday, April 26th, students will follow the normal Green Week schedule for that day.  Additional information about how to access the survey will be provided to students via email and from their 3rd period teacher on Tuesday.

We wanted to let all of our families know that we will be experiencing some traffic issues on Sparkleberry Lane in front of the school over the next 2-3 months.  Richland County will be making updates to the gas lines, storm drains, and adding sidewalks.  Work crews will do their best to minimize the impact to arrival and departure times at school.  If you are a car rider or student driver, we strongly encourage you to arrive early to school to make sure you are on time for class.

After School Tutoring

We will offer both on-campus and virtual tutoring options this year.  Offering both platforms allows us to provide more options for students to get academic assistance after school.  Please visit the SVHS Tutoring website for a complete schedule of the tutoring opportunities. 

A special thank you goes out to the Spring Valley Education Foundation for funding this important initiative.
