Sunrise Family Updates
8.30.24
Hi Sunrise Families!
Happy Friday! For those of you who are waiting for information on bussing, our bus company, Kobussen, is working very hard to get emails out to everyone today and tomorrow. As they work to get the correct information to you, they are not able to respond to requests to make any last minute changes or adjustments. Next week, they will be able to respond to those requests. Thank you for your patience and understanding. We do have bus tags ready for students for the first day and will attach them to their back packs.
I have a few more updates below, including a document that we passed out at Open House. It is a great one pager with all of the information you may need as a Sunrise family. If you were unable to come to Open House, teachers will send this document home with your child in their red folder.
A reminder that students are welcome to Sunrise any time after 7:20 am. Students may choose to eat breakfast, play on the blacktop or read or play games in our library. Our school day begins at 7:40 am. Speaking of blacktop . . . we are so thankful that our blacktop is complete. However we are not able to move our shed or paint lines for at least a week to allow it to cure (we are learning a lot through this process). So, we will encourage a lot of creative play as we wait for fan favorites, like 4 Square to return.
Have a great labor day weekend and see you on Tuesday!
Sincerely,
Katie Smullen
Sunrise Principal

Important School Breakfast Update
This year a school breakfast will cost $2.00 and a school lunch will cost $3.25 for students in Sawyer or Sunrise and $3.40 for students in Middle or High School.
For the past few years school breakfast has been free for all students. Unfortunately, this opportunity is not available to us this year. Those who qualify will continue to receive free or reduced pricing for school meals. Please reference this link for information on applying for free or reduced meals within our district: https://www.sturbay.k12.wi.us/departments/free-and-reduced-meal-information.cfm.
Our food service department is hopeful one or more of our schools will qualify to be enrolled in a program to help subsidize meal costs in the future.
Girls Basketball Update - 4th and 5th Graders
