The Students Have Become the Teachers.

In a pilot, West Valley Computer Science Teachers, Devina Khan and Arin Lee, have partnered with Minerva Pardo and the West Valley Family Engagement Department. 

For the last five years, West Valley Junior High has been a state and national leader in job skill development with Microsoft Certification.  All seventh graders earn their MOS Certification in Word, Excel and PowerPoint while eighth graders take courses earning their Python certifications in Computer Science.

As an extension of the English Classes already available for families, certified students from West Valley High School and West Valley Junior High are volunteering to teach courses in Spanish for families to earn their own Microsoft Certification.  

Thanks to these students for volunteering.

If we are truly committed to changing the lives of our students it begins with improving the lives of our families.  Students in West Valley are already leading the way in Computer Science and in Office Production.  Why shouldn't our students help the whole family?

One night in and this is definitely a program we plan to expand.  Classes are Tuesday and Thursday nights at 7pm.  This course is full but are looking for interest in future course offerings.
