A Message From the Principal

Dear Sunrise Drive Families,

We appreciate your support of direct donations to the FFO Spirit of Sunrise and Mathathon fund raisers, which support rich experiences for our students. For example, students enjoyed Deborah Hopkins’ presentation of books and the writing process on Friday. Also, our Science Inquiry Day was enjoyed by students in all grades:

• Chihiro looked through a telescope and then at the monitor and exclaimed, “Oh my! Is this from space? This is the first time I see something in space!”
• “In a mine we look for sparkly blue rocks,” explained Zephyr as he “mined” for rocks on the playground after he learned about mining from two engineers.
• Tyler shared, “The caterpillar forms a cocoon, and then it turns into a butterfly! I liked playing the game! I am looking for a butterfly now.”
• After the air pressure surrounding his body was altered, Tyler said, “I can’t move. I am stuck! I can feel the difference!”

Sunrise Drive students benefit from the support of the FFO and the volunteers.

We thank you for your commitment to student safety by following our safety procedures:

• Parking and walking to the Sammy the Snake area to drop off or pick up your child
• Remaining in your car and having your child exit on the passenger side when using the six loading spaces
• Refraining from using cell phones in the parking lot while maneuvering your car
• Using the visitor/parent lot only.  The staff lot is designed for buses only during drop off and pick-up.

Your efforts to register your child for the 2017-2018 school year will support the lowest student to teacher ratio as staffing is assigned to Sunrise Drive this spring. To date, 365 students have registered. We are expecting about 230 more students to register. If you have not registered your student, please do so in the next week so that we may maintain our wonderful staff to serve your child. If you need assistance with the registration process, please contact Ms. Rivera Lopez at 209-7901.

We look forward to seeing you at an upcoming musical performances:

• Chorus - CFHS Auditorium on March 21 at 7:00
• Ms. Baker - Music Room on March 20 at 12:40 
• Ms. Pennington - Music Room on March 21 at 12:40 
• Ms. Woodhams - Music Room on March 23 at 12:10 
• Ms. Gonzalez - Music Room on March 24 at 9:10

Sincerely,

Andrea Davidson
