Back-to-School Nights came to a close this week with our final stops at Lakewood, Sunnyvale Middle School, Columbia Middle School and Cherry Chase! Along the way, we stepped into classrooms, caught a glimpse of what students have already been creating and learning, and had the chance to connect with so many of our teachers and families.

There’s something special about seeing our campuses filled with families, conversations and excitement for the year ahead. Thank you to everyone who joined us and helped make this year’s Back-to-School Nights such a great start to the school year!

Today, Sunnyvale School District celebrates International Literacy Day and the power of reading, writing and communication to open doors for every learner.

Literacy builds confidence, sparks curiosity and gives students the tools to understand the world around them and share their own stories. Across our schools, we are proud to foster a love of learning that extends far beyond the classroom and lasts a lifetime.

Every page opens a world of possibilities. Happy International Literacy Day!

Beakers bubbling, goggles secured and curiosity activated!

Congratulations to Columbia Middle School seventh-grade science teacher Giselle Serafin, who has been named a 2026 RAFT STEAM Teacher of the Year!

Through hands-on labs and real-world exploration, Ms. Serafin helps students build confidence and recognize that science belongs to them.

“I want every student to understand that they are a scientist, they are capable and they can pursue this field if it is something they want to do,” Serafin said.

Please join us in celebrating Ms. Serafin and the incredible impact she makes each day!

A look back at Sunnyvale School District’s inaugural State of the District last October!

We were proud to welcome so many of our district and community partners as we celebrated our schools, our students and the incredible work happening across Sunnyvale.

Now, we’re getting ready to do it again! Our 2026 State of the District is coming up Friday, October 2, and we can’t wait to welcome our local partners and community members back for another special event.

We hope you’ve marked your calendars. Final invitation details are coming soon!

Some of the best parts of school aren’t on the schedule. They happen because you’re there.

The learning. The creativity. The connection. The opportunities.

September is Attendance Awareness Month, a reminder that every day at school is a chance to experience something new.

You had to be there.
