Principal's Message
Sunny Heights Families,
It has been great seeing our students fill our hallways and classrooms again this week! Students have been doing a great job getting back into the routine of in-person instruction. Please continue to remind your children the importance of following all safety procedures at school (wearing mask at all times, social distancing, washing hands, etc.) so we are ALL able to stay safe and healthy.
The car rider line is getting better each day in the morning and afternoon. We ask that everyone continue to show patience as we improve the efficiency of our line. We have a lot of students arriving and dismissing through the car rider line each day. A reminder that it is one-way traffic as you enter from 25th street. A double line on the entry road should be used to help relieve some congestion. Please alternate lines as you enter the parking lot loop.
We hope everyone has a safe and enjoyable weekend!
Your Proud Principal,
Bart Lewis

Technology Help Desk Update
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.
