We recognize that this is an unprecedented time and recognize that this may impact your family. We continue to be committed to your child’s education and growth during this trying time.

The leadership team in Sunnyvale has prioritized developing plans in the following two areas to support your child/ren and family.

La decisión se tomó temprano esta mañana. Reconocemos que este es un momento sin precedentes y reconocemos que esto puede afectar a su familia. Seguimos comprometidos con la educación y el crecimiento de su estudiante durante este momento difícil.

El equipo de liderazgo del Distrito de Sunnyvale ha priorizado desarrollar planes concretos en las siguientes dos áreas para apoyar a su estudiante y su familia.
