July 28, 2025

Dear LVJUSD Parents and Guardians,

The start of a new school year requires a few “to dos” that will ensure we have accurate information for your student and family. With the first day of school just a couple of weeks away, we have included a brief back-to-school checklist as a guide to providing these important informational updates and preparing for the start of the year. Also included are overviews and reminders of our Universal Meals Program, our volunteer process, links to videos that prepare parents and students for key academic transitions, ways to stay connected and informed, and opportunities to work in our district! In the coming days, you will receive other important information from your principals regarding site-specific practices, protocols, and orientation events.

LVJUSD Back-to-School Checklist (What to do!)

 

• 

  Complete Your Annual Student Update(s)
  On or after July 30th, you will receive a personalized PowerSchool Annual Student Update email for each of your students from the email address registration@lvjusd.k12.ca.us. Annual student updates include important information regarding parent, guardian, and emergency contacts; medical and health updates; and acknowledgments of parents’ rights and District policies and procedures. Please complete your enrollment updates prior to attending your school’s orientation day if possible. If you need assistance or access to a computer to complete, please visit your school site or our district office. All school offices will be open starting August 5th. While annual student updates can be completed on most smartphones, Chromebooks will be available at school sites and the district office for those in need of a computer to complete. 

  • Important Note: In an effort to minimize contact duplications and inaccuracies, you will notice that all information fields for parent/guardian and emergency contacts are pre-populated with last year’s information and cannot be edited. At the bottom of the contacts section, you will be able to indicate if you need to make changes to any of your contact information. Answering “yes” will prompt you to call or email your school registrar so that changes can be made with the help of school personnel. We appreciate your patience and understanding with this additional step.

 

• 

  Review and/or Purchase Optional Chromebook Insurance for 2025-26

All students in grades 1-12 are issued a LVJUSD Chromebook as an essential learning tool.

We are pleased to offer parents the ability to protect your student’s Chromebook with optional insurance coverage from School Device Coverage. Replacement costs without insurance can be as costly as $399 per device. 

Basic Annual Policy: $22/ device

• 

  Attend Your School’s Orientation Event!
  More information will be sent from your school site regarding back-to-school orientation details. Check your school’s website for event details as they provide opportunities to connect with school staff and fellow students and families, as well as receive important information about school schedules and procedures.

Overviews & Reminders (What to know!)

• Universal Breakfast & Lunch
  A heartfelt thank you to our Child Nutrition Department for continuing to offer free breakfast and lunch to all students through the Universal Meals Program. Lunch times differ by school, so please check your school’s bell schedule for specific information. Breakfast will be available before school at the following times:

• Elementary: 8:00 a.m. - 8:25 a.m.

• Middle*: 8:00 a.m. - 8:20 a.m.

• High: 8:00 a.m. - 8:35 a.m

*If your student attends zero period, your school site will send more information about breakfast hours prior to zero period.

• Volunteer Applications
  Before volunteering at your school site for the 2025-26 school year, please complete a volunteer application online. 

  • Applications need to be resubmitted annually and will require an upload of a current TB clearance and driver’s license, even if previously submitted with prior applications. 

  • If you want to obtain extended clearance as a volunteer, LiveScan fingerprinting is required. Fingerprinting only needs to be done once during your tenure as a parent in our district. Therefore, if you were fingerprinted last year, you do not need to complete the process again.

  • Applications will be reviewed and approved by site staff starting 8/13 as submitted. Please be patient; applications waiting on fingerprinting clearance can take additional time to process. 

  • See our Visitor & Volunteer webpage for more information.

• Parent Education Videos on Preparing for Pivotal Educational Transitions

Our Livermore Learns Parent Education Program has curated a comprehensive set of video resources from webinars we’ve hosted throughout recent school years. Some of our most popular topics have centered on key transitions throughout a student's educational path such as starting school for the first time in TK or Kindergarten, going from elementary to middle school, and going from middle to high school. Direct links to each video are included below and our entire library of resources is available on our Livermore Learns webpage.

• TK/K Readiness/ Preparación Para TK/Kínder  

• Making the Transition from 5th to 6th Grade/ Haciendo la Transición del 5º al 6º Grado

• Making the Transition from 8th to 9th Grade/ Haciendo la Transición del Octavo al Noveno Grado

• Staying Connected

In addition to regular emails, texts, and newsletters from your student’s teacher(s) and principal, we strive to keep you informed of school highlights, student achievements, opportunities for students and families to engage in their schools and our community, and much more! 

• Follow us @LivermoreSchools on Facebook and Instagram! 

• Check your email for Peachjar digests; parents/guardians are automatically enrolled to receive digital flyers that pertain to your child’s school and/or grade level.

• Download our free Livermore Schools District App from the App Store or Google. Your app can be personalized for your students and will serve as a one-stop shop for all email and text message notifications sent through our mass notification system from their teachers, school administrators, and district; provide historical attendance information; and quick access to calendars, menus, and other commonly referenced links.
