Dear Sundance Families,
Happy Holidays to our wonderful community! I look forward to a positive 2021 and to a day when we are all back on our campus enjoying learning together.

On-campus students will return Tuesday, January 19th. ESS will not be held during this time. All IEP services and meetings will be held virtually.
With that being said, I want to reiterate to our community that learning at Sundance will continue to be excellently delivered by our wonderful, caring teachers.
