Scott Valley Unified School District

Scott Valley Unified School District SVUSD was established July 1, 2007 is comprised of Etna High School, Scott Valley Junior High, Etna and Fort Jones Elementary and Scott River High School

Scott Valley, Siskiyou County, is nestled among three mountain ranges in the most beautiful part of Northern California. The valley and its surroundings are known for its hunting, fly fishing, skiing, back-packing and hiking, gold-panning, rock climbing and camping. The many family farms produce alfalfa, grains, milk and beef as well as alpaca wool. Cows, horses and mules share the wealth of feed

with the deer. At one time, the area had a large timber industry which has declined recently. The communities served by our unified school district are Fort Jones on the north end of the valley. Quartz Valley to the west, Greenview in the middle with Etna and Callahan to the south. These communities have churches, small businesses, recreation, restaurants, civic organizations and medical offices. Several nationally known camps share the mountains and rivers with the communities. It is a wonderful place to raise children in a safe and clean environment. Families have ranched here in the valley for 150 years and many of the staff members were born and raised in the area. The valley communities are a short trip to Yreka and the southern Oregon communities of Ashland and Medford. Southern Oregon University and the Shakespearean Festival are located in Ashland, an hours drive from Fort Jones. Outdoor recreational activities abound in all four distinct seasons. College of the Siskiyous, a community college is located in Weed, about 45 miles from Fort Jones.

Celebrating Excellence: Our Fort Jones Elementary School Earns State PBIS Gold Awards Two Years in a Row!

We are thrilled to announce that Fort Jones Elementary has achieved the prestigious Gold Level State Recognition from the California PBIS (Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports) Coalition for the second consecutive year!

This back-to-back honor highlights our schools' exceptional commitment to creating safe, supportive, and positive learning environments. The Gold Implementation Award is only given to schools that meet rigorous state standards, including high scores on the Tiered Fidelity Inventory, excellent classroom walkthrough results, and proven academic and behavioral growth for our students.

This achievement is a direct result of the hard work of our dedicated teachers, staff, students, and families. By focusing on proactive support, clear expectations, and data-driven decisions, we continue to build a school culture where every student can thrive.
Thank you to our entire school community for your ongoing support in making our district a gold-standard place to learn and grow!
