Principal's Message
Greetings Sunny Heights Families,
It is hard to believe that we are so close to the end of the first semester and 2020. I want to again share my appreciation for all the work being done by students, families, and staff to make the most out of our time in virtual instruction. I continue to be impressed with the focus our students have, the support families are showing, and our staff going above and beyond to support their kids. In the midst of the holiday season, I am truly thankful for and blessed to be a part of the Sunny Heights community.
We have only 5 days left of instruction before our winter break. Do not hesitate to reach out to us for anyway we might be of service. Please enjoy a safe and healthy weekend!
Your PROUD Principal,
Bart Lewis

Warren Township Family & Caregiver Resources
Warren Township Family & Caregiver Resources is "live" and ready. We understand that parents and caregivers want to learn how to help their students be successful in school and these resources allow our parents and caregivers to have a "location" to visit where they can access tutorials/information on how to navigate digital tools used in our schools and to seek support.
Canvas and ParentVue were the topics that we received the most phone calls and email messages about at the beginning of the year when we started the virtual learning program, so we have targeted those topics here. *Apple ID was also a highly requested support for the first few weeks for elementary families; however, since all K-4 in-person students have their iPads set up, have been practicing in school and teachers have resources to share, we did not include that information on the site.
This page can be viewed in Spanish (by switching the language at the top of the website) and most resources are translated into Spanish as well. We have also linked it to the "Transition" to Virtual page.

ALL STUDENTS - ATTENDANCE
For the 2020-2021 school year, Warren Township has transitioned to a new student information system called Synergy allowing our parents and caregivers to have improved access to school information through the parent portal called ParentVUE. We are aware that at this time some students’ attendance records are reflecting students are absent, when in fact they were present. This is mostly the case for our students who are attending school VIRTUALLY on application days or in the VIRTUAL opinion full-time. We want to assure you that teachers are keeping accurate attendance records and that we are working to correct attendance records for all our students.
