Safety and accident prevention are essential to the Sunnyvale School District. We strive to prevent injuries to staff, students, and volunteers. By making safety a high priority for every employee and volunteer, we attempt to reduce injuries and illnesses, increase productivity, and promote a safer and healthier environment for all individuals in the Sunnyvale School District.
