Our Positivity Project is a curriculum for character development and social emotional learning! Each week our entire campus will be participating in various lessons all involving the weekly Character Strength! We encourage you to talk to your student about what they have learned this week!

Below is a link to the FREE P2 Family Resources you can also use at home!

Our Vikings will explore a variety of careers, discover how their interests and strengths connect to future opportunities, and learn how today’s effort helps prepare them for tomorrow’s goals. It is never too early to dream big and begin planning for the future! Through AVID’s focus on Writing, Inquiry, Collaboration, Organization, and Reading (WICOR), students will practice asking thoughtful questions, researching careers, sharing ideas, and setting goals while building skills for success in school and beyond. Families can join the fun by talking about their own careers and asking, “What would you like to do in the future, and what can you learn today to help you get there?”

JOIN US FOR CAREER DRESS-UP WEEK!! November 16 - 20

Every day counts at Sierra Vista Elementary School because regular attendance helps students build strong academic skills, meaningful friendships, and a sense of belonging. Attendance is also reflected in California’s Chronic Absenteeism Indicator, one of the state measures used to evaluate school performance. Last year, Sierra Vista celebrated a 7% increase in attendance, and our goal is to beat that improvement this year! Together, we can keep our Vikings learning and growing by making attendance a priority—every student, every day!

BEFORE SCHOOL:

* Students cannot be on campus before 7:15 am (AM TK/K at 7:10 am for breakfast)

* Keep hallways clear at all times!

* Parents must wait in the Parent Zones (end of hallways & bus loading zone)

* Students ONLY in the cafeteria for breakfast.

AFTER SCHOOL:

* Parents must wait near the parking lots or off campus until school dismisses.

* Keep hallways clear at all times!

* Parents must stay in the Parent Zones (end of hallways & bus loading zone)

THANK YOU FOR YOUR UNDERSTANDING! We prioritize student safety!

Sierra Vista Elementary is excited to receive a $2,300.00 grant from the Foundation for Clovis Schools to support our Viking Roots Community Garden! This grant will help create a living lab where students can explore science, nature, and healthy living through age-appropriate, hands-on lessons. In partnership with our Expanded Learning After School Program, the garden will provide opportunities for students to plant, nurture, and harvest while building curiosity, responsibility, and teamwork. We are grateful to the Foundation for Clovis Schools for helping us grow meaningful learning experiences and strong community roots for our Vikings!
