I hope you've found this day away from school to be a refreshing time. We have three staff members who are Veterans and I wanted to say thank you for their service. Thank you Ryan Wray, Nola Rechtin and Brett Cecil. We are in the season of gratitude and I hope you are able to find time to reflect on something you are grateful for. I am grateful for the Sunset community. We have amazing teachers, staff members, parents and students. Thank you for all you do for Sunset.
Thanks again,
Thomas Fletcher

Student LVJUSD Gmail Accounts
In accordance with security guidance, IT has updated student passwords to 9-digits. That means students with 8-digit student IDs will need to add a leading zero and students with 7-digit student IDs will need to add two leading zeros to be able to log in. Students with 9-digit student IDs or who had previously changed their password to a personal password were not affected.
If students need help, they can get help from their teachers when school starts.

Frequently Asked Questions
When can I volunteer in the classroom?
ASAP! Please register through the new Raptor System which is coming soon. Check our website for details. Please connect with your child's teacher if you are interested and let the teacher set up a plan. We ask that you do not show up unannounced.
Where shall I pick up my child? It would be wise to have a plan for pick up and drop off. Grades 1-5 get out at the same time this year.
