ANNOUNCEMENT
Dear Families, The LVUSD Board of Education approved an amendment to the service-learning policy. In an effort to reduce the stress on our high school students as we continue to navigate these challenging times, the total annual hours required for each graduating class are as follows:
• Class of 2021: 30 Hours
• Class of 2022: 15 Hours
• Class of 2023: 15 Hours
• Class of 2024: 30 Hours
• Class of 2025: 45 Hours
We know that many of our students still want to participate in Community Service and we encourage them to do so but know that it is not mandatory for this year
Our service-learning recognition programs will be revised to allow students to earn awards for outstanding service, without the added pressure of finding service opportunities during this time. In short, we want our students focused on their health, their families, and their studies for the 2021-2022 school year.
