SMJUHSD Back-to-School Night

Thousands of parents and students attended Back-to-School Night at Pioneer Valley High School, Righetti High School, Santa Maria High School, and the Mark Richardson Center on August 27th.

Families got a chance to experience a student’s schedule, meet staff, teachers, and members of the administration. Teachers were also available to answer questions about course expectations and academic progress.

“It was a very nice atmosphere, and I liked being able to put a teacher’s face with my son’s classes,” said Juan Soto, whose son attends PVHS. “It made me feel more comfortable about high school.’’

SMJUHSD Executive Director of Teaching and Learning Ted Lyon said the events were a great occasion for parents to “connect” with staff and visit classrooms.

“Back-to-School Night is a great opportunity for parents to meet the staff and walk the campus,’’ Lyon added. “It fosters the school home partnership that is essential for long term student success.”

Delta High School will complete the Back-to-School Night series on September 10th.
