From the Principal
Hello Sunflower Families,
I also want to send out a huge shout out to our awesome PTO for providing a festive welcome back to school sign, lunch for our staff, hosting our popsicles on the playground for new kindergarten families and for organizing the Kona Ice truck at Sneak Peek! Thanks for making back to school such a special event for our students and staff!
It is honor to serve as the principal of Sunflower Elementary.

Welcome Ms. Whitley
Arrival and Dismissal Reminders
Overall this went well today. Here are a few friendly reminders to keep our scholars safe during these times.
- All students report to the gym for morning community unless the eat breakfast then they go do the cafe
- Due to the size of the gym, if you walk your child in to school each day please plan on dropping them off at the gym door
- Doors open at 8:20am but our official start time is 8:45am
Dismissal:
- If your child is a car rider they will come out the front doors and load from the side walk
- Please be mindful of cell phone use in the car line, it is a safety concern
- If your child is a walker they go out the side door leading to SWMS
- Please make sure there is no parking in the bus zones and use the crosswalks
As another safety precaution we ask that you do not bring animals on property during either of these times unless it is a service animal. Thank you for understanding.
