2023 - 2024 Kindergarten Registration
Spread the word! Now’s the time to start thinking about registering your child for kindergarten! Registration for the 2023 - 2024 school year kicked off with an in-person kindergarten registration help session on Thursday, Feb. 9. If you missed the session, don't worry! Enrollment forms are now available in print at the District Office, Colvill Family Center, and Sunnyside School. Forms can also be found online at www.rwps.org, and may be returned to any of the locations listed above. We encourage you to register early, as this helps us determine staffing needs and get class placement information out earlier!
Red Wing Arts Student Art Show
The Red Wing Student Art Show will take place at Red Wing Arts in the train depot (418 Levee Street) from March 3 - April 1, 2023.

Spring Conferences
Sunnyside Elementary Parent Teacher Conferences will be held Tuesday, March 7th and Thursday, March 9th. We are once again using an online sign up for conferences called PTCFast.com in grades K - 5. We are hopeful this system will allow you to better choose a time that meets your needs. To sign up, click on the link below or copy and paste it into your web browser. Simply follow the prompts to register and choose a conference time. Sixth grade will once again be holding conferences a little differently, and those teachers will be reaching out directly to families with details. Conferences will be held in-person, though online conferences are available for those who prefer them. Please contact your child's teacher directly if you are interested in that option.

***Per district procedure, we have one 15-minute conference time available per student. It is imperative that parents/caregivers who are connected to the student are receiving the same information and planning together, as a team, how to best support the student. Please contact the Sunnyside office at 651-385- 4570, if you have any difficulty signing up for a time.
Third Quarter Progress Reports
The third quarter of schools will come to a close on Thursday, March 23rd. Progress reports were originally scheduled to be sent home with students after spring break. However, after discussion, Sunnyside teachers have indicated they'd prefer to complete the informal progress reports a bit early so they can discuss with families at conferences next week. Official report cards are only completed at the end of Semester 1 and Semester 2, so a less formal progress report will be provided this quarter. Specials (Art, Music, PE, & STEM) are only graded at the semesters, since they only meet with students one out of every four days.
