Textbook checkout policy is consistent across the San Ramon Valley Unified School district high schools. The only textbooks that will be checked out prior to starting the new school year will be for AP classes that require the textbook for summer assignments. There will be no summer checkouts for any other AP classes or regular classes. During the school year textbooks may only be checked out if the student is currently taking the class. Most textbooks are available for in-library use in the Contra Costa libraries at Montgomery Street and Dougherty Station in San Ramon.
Checkouts for AP textbooks that are required for summer assignments for the 2012-2013 school year will occur from June 18th through June 21st and June 25th through June 28th. DVHS textbook office hours are from 11:00AM to 1:00PM.
Here are some ways you can access the textbooks used at DVHS.
- Check the SRVUSD Adopted Textbook list: http://tinyurl.com/6o7o2tk . This link provides the titles and ISBN codes of all of the textbooks by subject in the district.
- Buy or rent your own copy of the textbooks at:
- Amazon.com
- eBay
- Half.com
- Use the textbooks at the Contra Costa County Library. There are copies of almost all of our textbooks at both the Montgomery Station and Dougherty Valley Station. They can be used for up to two hours while in the library. BookList

Helpful Praise
Dr. Reimann - Principal
Throughout much of this school year, the Dougherty Valley High School Family discussed the idea of Educating the Whole Student and reducing student stress a great deal. This has helped the school to partner with families to make DVHS students happy, healthy and successful. We also held a series of events, including community nights, focus groups and student assemblies to collaborate on how the school and parents can be effective partners in the healthy development of our students.
A part of supporting our students’ growth is providing helpful praise to our children when they are successful. This year we have seen a great deal of growth in the number and percentage of students who are excelling in a variety of extra-curricular and academic arenas. This success is due to the tireless work of parents and students in preparation for programs and events for which their children are passionate. We have also seen many students improve their academic and behavioral performance. Having happy, healthy and successful students means that students are free to pursue their passion. It also means that our praise connects the hard work that they have done with success.
