Sunrise Valley News

Welcome to the First Day of School!

We are excited to start the school year and cannot wait to see our students on Tuesday!

Students may arrive on campus at 8:55. 

On the first day, students and parents may proceed directly to the classrooms.  Our school day will start promptly at 9:20, and at this time any parents remaining will need to say their good byes so the school day may start. 

On Tuesday, our regular procedures will begin. 

8:55 - Students may arrive and proceed to cafeteria.

9:10 - First bell and students proceed to classroom.

9:20 - School day starts and if students are not already in the classroom at this time, they are considered tardy.

4:05 - Dismissal.

4:15 - School bus scheduled departure.

All parents/visitors must check in at the office.  Visits to teachers/staff need to be pre-arranged and then confirmed by office staff upon arrival. 


Arrival and Dismissal

The lower parking lot is not available for drop off and pick up.  The kiss and ride loop (upper parking lot) is to be used. 

It is very important for all of our students and families to follow these procedures as they are the safest and also the most efficient. 

Please promote your child's safety and be considerate to school neighbors, bus drivers, school staff  and all our Sunrise Valley families by complying with these procedures.


Boo- Hoo Breakfast

Our PTA invites all our kindergarten and new parents to join them in the cafeteria at 9:20  They will have coffee and treats.  This is a great opportunity to meet other parents at SVES.  This is also a good time to join the PTA if you are not a member!
