Message from the Principal

SVA Families,

Welcome to the 2021/22 school year at Spring Valley Academy!

I am honored to serve as the new principal at SVA, and come with determination to provide all students with the opportunity to thrive in a positive school climate with an exceptional learning experience. I’m thrilled to announce that Francisco Solis will be joining the team as our new Assistant Principal.  

Our staff is extremely excited for the return of in-person learning this year, with all students attending classes on campus five days a week. We will continue to follow all State, Local and District health and safety guidelines to ensure a safe environment for all students. As we have learned over the past 18 months, procedures and policies may change frequently as we comply with guidelines, but we are committed to timely communication and are dedicated to the success of all students.

This year, we plan to offer additional resources and opportunities to reconnect students and families to our school community. Please consider joining any of our school-based teams, including School Site Council (SSC), English language Advisory Committee (ELAC) and Parent-Teacher-Student Association (PTSA) to provide input and support with decision-making throughout the year.  

I appreciate your involvement in our school community and look forward to our continued partnership!  

With gratitude,
Lauren Basteyns, Principal
