Attention parents of Raiders in grades 6-12,

If you were unable to pick up your Raider's laptop at Rowdy's Reunion, you can drop by your Raider's campus on Monday, August 12th from 2:00 p.m. - 5:00 p.m. If you can't make that date, the device will be in your Raider's 1st period class on the first day of school.

Reminder: Laptop distribution is a one-time occurrence. Your Raider will have his or her laptop from 6th grade until he or she graduates from SHS. There will be no need to have another distribution next year.

We appreciate your patience.

Dr. Graham has opened up sales for the SHS staff t-shirt for everyone in the Raider Nation! Order yours today!

Join Rowdy, the cheerleaders, the Raider Pride Band as we kick off the fall sports season! Come out and celebrate our Raider athletes at our annual Meet the Raider Night Pep Rally at Raider Stadium. Th fun kicks off at 7:00 p.m.

To help ease the flow of traffic on the first day of school, our start times will follow an adjusted schedule. Please see the graphic, above.

Don't know your Raider's lunch account number? No worries. You'll get that information at Meet the Teacher Night.

Sunnyvale ISD will hold a meeting to provide information to families about special education services that are offered to students with disabilities who attend a private school or homeschool within the boundaries of SISD.

Meeting Date: August 13

Welcome to your BRAND NEW PTA exclusively for the students, teachers and parents of Sunnyvale Middle School and High School!

In order to meet the demands of our growing Student Body and Teacher populations in the school district, we have formed a brand new PTA that focuses solely on the Middle School and High School campuses. When you join this PTA, 100% of your funds will be used exclusively on events, engagements, and activities at these two schools.

If you are a parent or teacher reading this, we want you to know that we see you and hear you. We know that you are emotionally invested in the children at these schools. And we know that we can only exist as an organization with your support, not just financially, but also emotionally, spiritually, and physically. To be frank, we NEED you.

We are extraordinarily grateful for every single dollar you can give, every single hour you can volunteer, every single item you can donate to our organization. We are just getting started, but we truly hope that you will join us on this journey and help us to grow this PTA into something that will reflect the standard of excellence we have come to expect from our Sunnyvale School District.

Thank you and God Bless You.

Chelsea Nowell
President of Sunnyvale MS and HS PTA
