Please welcome Ashley Cook she will be sharing the assignment of teaching 8th grade with Meredith Del Dotto while Alee is on maternity leave.  She will be taking over for Sandra Butler and starting March 22. Make sure you include her in all emails that you send to staff. Thank you so much Sandra for giving us your time here at Suisun Valley. We will miss you! 

From Ashley:

I am a graduate of the University of San Francisco where I earned a bachelor's degree in 2018. I am currently a graduate student at Sacramento State University where I am studying marriage, family, couples and child therapy. I have served FSUSD as a substitute teacher since November 2019. Prior to my current roles, I worked in corporate communications and public relations.  Above all else, I am very excited to work with Suisun Valley's super amazing 8th graders!

Also, during the weeks that I am "off," during this assignment, I will still be available to fill in for any of your other teachers who may need a sub during that time. 

Board Policies Update for Site Newsletters

The Fairfield-Suisun Unified School District maintains Board Policies

and Administrative Regulations that provide guidance to the operations

of the district based on current State and Federal law.  Over the next

few months, the newsletter will highlight one or two policies that are

required to be shared annually with FSUSD staff.  Our goal in

distributing a few policies each week is that you will be able to take

the time to review the policies.

AR 6153 School Sponsored Trips
