The Eagle Soars
Sunflower Elementary - Independence Day Edition
Happy 4th of July!!
I'd like to say "WELCOME" to all of our new Kindergarten parents who are receiving a Sunflower newsletter for the first time! In preparation for online enrollment, your students have been bumped up to their grade for the 2019-20 school year, and so all of our new kindergarten parents will start receiving all of our correspondence!
If you are hoping this also means you can find out your child's teacher, I am afraid that info is still not available! You will find out your child's placement in August.
Speaking of online enrollment, this past Monday marked the first day that you can complete the online enrollment process via our Skyward website. More information can be found below!
Online Enrollment is Open!
ONLINE ENROLLMENT INFORMATION 2019-2020 SCHOOL YEAR
