Welcome to the new year here in Sunnyvale’s public schools! We are thrilled to be back in person this school year.
Our mission is to provide every student with a strong foundation of academic, behavioral, and social-emotional skills to prepare them for success in a diverse, challenging, and changing world. We look forward to doing this work in partnership with you.
Here are a few things you can do right now to help you and your child settle in:
