WELCOME BACK - LETS STAY CONNECTED
Welcome back to Sunflower Elementary School. The faculty and staff look forward to a positive and productive year.
There are many ways to stay connected at Sunflower Elementary. It is important that you connect in all three ways if possible.
- Parents-Sign up in Infinite Campus to receive emails and texts from your child’s teacher and school.
- Anyone-Sign up for Panther Alerts on our district web page. These are generic texts for all patrons, but not student specific.
- Anyone-Like our Sunflower Facebook page and see up to date events and news.
The success of any educational institution depends on the support and cooperation between parents, teachers, and students. All of us must work together as a team to provide the best education program for our students. We look forward to working with you and your child this year.
