Sunrise Valley will be participating in Hour of Code
during December 4-8, 2017.
Each student will have the opportunity to
participate in an age-appropriate coding activity during this week.
We would
like to invite parents who work in IT or have a computer science background to
briefly share about your work and/or facilitate in classrooms while students
are working on coding activities. Coding activities will be preassigned.
Please
contact Annie Candell, the school based technology specialist, at rmcandell@fcps.edu if you are interested.
The first Friday of every month is for showing your SVES spirit by wearing school apparel or school colors.
