Wisconsin Forward Exam
This spring all public school students in grades 3-8 and 10 will once again take the Wisconsin state assessment, the Forward Exam. State assessments are required by both State (Wis. Stat. § 118.30) and Federal ESSA (Every Student Succeeds Act) Law. The state assessment testing window runs between March 18 and April 26, 2024. Each 3rd and 4th grade classroom has a specific testing schedule within that testing window. Teachers will communicate more specific dates and times as they become available. As in the past, we ask that families try to avoid testing times for appointments, vacations, etc. as the missed test will then need to be made up during one of our make-up times. Thank you in advance and please contact your child's teacher with any questions.
Sunrise Timber Rattler Reading
The Timber Rattler Reading Program is coming to an end. The final base is due on March 8th. All four bases need to be turned in to earn the ticket voucher, and free hotdog and soda coupon. The deadline for turning in all the bases is Friday, March 15th.
If you have any questions please contact Ms. Leverson
SAVE THE DATE: Sunrise Family Day at the Timber Rattlers is Sunday, June 2nd at 1:05 PM.

Sunrise 23/24 Yearbook Orders
On February 1st, your child will be bringing home the Sunrise 2023/24 Yearbook order flier and envelope. Please look it over and take note of the due date and the option to order it via Infinite Campus.
When ordering through Infinite Campus, you are now able to pay using the e-check method and avoid paying a surcharge. You will still be charged a surcharge if you choose to use a credit card. Please remember when you use an e-check it is similar to using a paper check and if this check would be rejected by your bank due to non-sufficient funds, you will be charged a $25 NSF fee.
We will be accepting orders for the 2023/24 Sunrise Yearbook starting February 1st through February 28th .
