Our current Educational Programs & Operations (EP&O) Levy and Technology Levy will expire this year.

Watch now to learn more!
	Their Future is Now - Tech in Snoqualmie Valley Schools 80% of our district's technology - hardware, software, networking, & training - comes through our local Tech Levy. Thanks to this investment, our students use powerful technologies to suppor ttheir learning today and prepare them for tomorrow's world. Our tech tools and training for staff also ensure state-of-the-art teaching, while our tech systems provide security, access, and information like never before.
