The schools in the Dougherty Valley are joining together to launch the Character Counts program.  The six pillars of character are Trustworthiness, Respect, Responsibility, Fairness, Caring, and Citizenship.  DVHS video production students will be filming a short video showcasing students from the various Dougherty Valley school and highlighting a characteristic approximately once per month.  Throughout the year, the videos will be shown at all the schools in the Dougherty Valley.  The first introductory video was shown to all students in September.  In October, Quail Run will be highlighting Responsibility, followed by Citizenship (Hidden Hills) in November, Respect (Live Oak) in January, Caring (Coyote Creek) in February, Trustworthiness (Windemere Ranch) in March and Fairness (Gale Ranch) in May.  For more information on Character Counts, click on this link.

SRVUSD's new Framework for Excellence is a symbol for how the district is "supporting students and their learning" and "staff and their work."

Happy New Year!  It’s time for New Year resolutions...a common one for many people is to increase physical activity, spend more time with family and less time being “connected” to the various media devices.   In one word, it’s finding balance- balance of one’s time commitments, balance of priorities, or balance of healthy foods and activities.  So the question to ask is what is the recommended time for various activities?  Adolescents should have at least 60 minutes of moderate exercise each day.  This seems simple enough, but when it comes to technology-the time recommendation seems to get muddier.  Teens are inundated with technology from television to computers to video games and cell phones.  How much is appropriate?  Here is a link to help answer that question.

And remember, young teens are continuing to develop physically, so they definitely need a healthy diet and plenty of sleep too.

On behalf of the entire Windemere Ranch Middle School community I would like to welcome you to our website.  We are very proud of our school and our many accomplishments since our opening in August of 2005.  Our students have consistently scored very high in the state’s STAR exams, our school’s API has consistently been well over 900, and  we are a California Distinguished School.  Based on our current API we are in the top one percent of all of the middle schools in the state.   However, we are most proud of the nurturing and stimulating environment we have developed for our students that allows them to learn at high levels while enjoying themselves. 

We trust that you will find our website both pleasant and informative.  If you are a parent or student, you will find more detailed information by logging into your Schoolloop account using the login button located on the left of this homepage. 

Have a great day!
