Proud of our Slaters Class of '23


A wonderful end to our 2022-2023 school year!


For the School Year 2022-23, Slate Valley Unified Union schools worked on this goal:
Establish Community Engagement, Service, and Partnerships by providing valuable, relevant, engaging and inclusive learning experiences for a global economy.
Below is a link to a video snapshot highlighting some of the great community engagement activities that happened in our schools throughout the district, such as Open Houses, Guest Readers, Evening of the Arts, Celebrations of Learning, Lunch and Dinners with Families, Work Based Learning Opportunites, just to name a few. Thank you to our community partners and parents who contributed in making this goal achievable and successful. Enjoy!
