Happy First Day of School!

Welcome back! I hope you had a wonderful summer. I sure did. I'm so excited to see everyone and get started on a GREAT school year.

This morning I can feel the beginnings of Autumn in the crisp morning air. It is a welcome change from the stifling heat we have been having here in Livermore, and it reminds me that soon the leaves will be falling, Halloween will come, the rain will return, and Thanksgiving is just around the corner. I'm sure it will warm up today and feel like summer again, but just now, this morning, I got a taste of Fall, and it was good.

Take a moment to think about what you want from this year. Where do you see yourself at the end of the semester, at the end of the year? What do you want to learn? What do you want to do? Let's make it happen!

Get Your Student ID Card

Student ID Cards May Now Be Requested Remotely
SkyQ will be implementing a new process to request student ID cards remotely.  Students or parents/guardians can request a student ID card via an email sent to studentid@viedu.org. Once the email is verified, SkyQ will generate and mail the student ID card to the mailing address on file.
To request an ID card via email, it must be sent from an email address students/parents/guardians have on file with Visions and it must provide the following:
  1. Student ID #,
  2. Student birthdate, and
  3. Attached student photo.
    1. Photo in JPG or JPEG file format.
    2. To the best of the student’s ability, photo should be taken in front of a plain white or off-white background.
    3. Photo should be taken in full-face view directly facing the camera.
    4. Please, do not wear a hat or head covering that obscures the hair or hairline, unless worn daily for a religious purpose. Your full face must be visible, and the head covering must not cast any shadows on your face.
Please think of this photo like a Passport or other ID photo.   Great photo examples are available HERE via the State Department’s website.
If you have any additional questions, please email studentid@viedu.org or call skyQ at (916) 780-7566.
