Principal's Message - January 2011 by Dr. Callison

We are ENERGY STARS! Del Cerro Elementary has earned the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s prestigious Energy Star label. To earn the ENERGY STAR label, a building must score 75 or higher based on the EPA's National Energy Performance Rating System. ENERGY STAR buildings use less energy per square foot, are less expensive to operate and cause less greenhouse gas emissions than their peers. Awards include a bronze ENERGY STAR plaque,which is now displayed in the front office, and a Certificate of Achievement. In addition to this honor, the EPA recognized Saddleback Valley USD as a "Leader Top Performer" for maintaining a portfolio-wide average score of 82, placing the district in the top 20th percentile of school districts nationwide. SVUSD is one of 5 school districts in California to attain this honor. To learn more about SVUSDs Energy Conservation Program, please visit The Energy Program WAY TO GO - Del Cerro Dolphins!!!
