A message from the principal
Kindness Matters
Over the last several days, our administrative team held grade level assemblies to review expectations, rules, and policies which focused on working together to make Sunrise a fun, safe, and welcoming place for everyone. We talked about bullying and harassment and the importance of reporting when situations occur or if they witness it happening to someone else. Students understand that electronic devices cannot be out during school hours and must be turned off and in their backpacks. We also discussed that if watches cause a disruption, they will need to stay in backpacks as well. Students know that weapons, even toy weapons, can never be at school. They also know that they can't use other items, such as a pencil, to hurt someone.
We talked about growing our knowledge and friendships, being problem solvers, leading by example, and caring about each other and our school. We reminded students how to earn shining star awards by following the expectations and going above and beyond. The students viewed a video on kindness and discovered that being kind to others also makes you feel better about yourself!
Parent/Teacher Conferences
Our fall conferences are the first week in October! Parents will sign up for conferences online via My Conference Time. Our goal is to meet with all families! Conferences will be held on October 2, 3 & 5. The schedule will be available for families to reserve a time slot on Monday, September 18.
