***This is designed to provide more protection for students and meet certain compliance requirements.


CVUSD Google accounts that are labeled as "Under 18" will have a "more restricted experience". 


The district has labeled the following:

  • ALL student accounts as Under 18
  • ALL staff accounts as 18 and over. 

*While some students at the High School may be 18+, ALL students will be marked "Under 18".
