We will hate to see you go, but if you are moving...
Moving over the Summer? As we are heading toward the end of the school year, we are hearing a lot of the kids saying they are moving out of Gardner, or the Sunflower Elementary attendance area. If your child/children will NOT be returning to Sunflower Elementary for the 2019-2020 school year, would you please complete our moving survey using the link below?
If you have already moved out of our attendance area, please email me with your current address so I can make sure we have your information updated.
(Current 4th Grade parents do not need to complete the survey.)
