Please make sure to download the SVUSD app. You’ll be able to connect with your student’s teacher(s) like messaging, you can get updates through streams and announcements, and even be connected to missing assignments. I also use it to send out messages and announcements to keep everyone updated on the happenings at BV. Here is the QR to directly access the app for either Apple or Android phone.

Sincerely,
