Dear Anderson Valley Community,
First, some news about phones. PLEASE REMEMBER THE PHONE SYSTEM FOR THE ENTIRE DISTRICT IS BEING CHANGED ON MONDAY. Wynne Crisman has worked really hard, but this is a complicated system and there are bound to be glitches. If you have an EMERGENCY, call me at 707-684-1017 or email a staff member in the office.
Also, the district has purchased three satellite phones for the buses and/or field trips when cell service is spotty. This is to ensure if we have an emergency, medical or fire life safety can respond no matter where we are at. A good investment!
Lots of fun happenings this week with a beautiful Day of the Child picnic and event at the Peachland Preschool. Thank you Anita and Lupita! The elementary school also celebrated Students of the Month and enjoyed popsicles too! FFA brought the farm to the elementary school on Friday for a fun learning show and tell experience for the elementary kids. Great fun!
The high school is busy with year-end academics and packing, packing, packing in preparation for the big remodel starting June 10. You will notice that things are coming down to be stored. We are a small but mighty staff, and we need to do that a bit at a time to make sure we are good to go. The rooms affected include Rooms 1, 2, Library and both science wings. If you would like to join us for a groundbreaking ceremony on Thursday, June 6 at 12:00 noon, we would love to see you.
Students will soon be heading off to Ashland, Oregon for the world-famous Shakespeare Festival. Thank you amazing AV Education Foundation!

Preschool Graduation May 27 5:30 p.m. (Elementary front grass oval)

Construction is MOVING. Cupples Construction starts on the high school on June 10. We rebid the site work for the temporary classrooms and received a $100,000 savings! The elementary kitchen and staff bathroom should come out of DSA soon, the track and field should be out of round one comments in DSA in about six weeks, the Domes are in comment stage for seismic eligibility, and the high school gym is in Phase 2 for Seismic eligibility. Woohoo!
I hope you have a safe and happy weekend!
Sincerely yours,
Louise Simson
Superintendent
