A Message from the Principal

Dear Sunrise Drive Families,

As of this morning, 222 students out of 580 are registered for the 2017-2018 school year. We are asking families to register the remaining students we expect at Sunrise Drive for next school year as soon as possible. Each year the number of teachers assigned to Sunrise Drive is determined by the number of students registered at each grade level. This includes the assignment of classroom teachers as well as teachers who teach Robotics, Art, Music, PE, and World Languages. It is important to have accurate information early in the year so that the lowest student-to-teacher ratio is identified.  

The online registration process is more efficient than in the past and can be completed by accessing this link: http://www.cfsd16.org/index.php/parents/register-for-school.  If you need assistance, please contact our office staff at 209-7901.  A special thank you is extended to those families who have completed or will complete the process over the next few days. We appreciate your efforts!

You are invited to join us for a fun Rodeo Lunch, and dancing led by Ms. Dover on Wednesday, February 22nd. Students may bring or purchase their lunch. The purchased lunch menu will be turkey or veggie dog, carrots, watermelon, chips and milk. The cost for students is $3.00 and $3.25 for adults, (Water will be available for an additional $0.75). Adults wishing to purchase lunch will do so at the front gate prior to entering campus. Exact change is appreciated and will help to expedite the process. The times for eating and dancing/recess are listed below:
