Parent Information Night

Please join us for Parent Information Night on Aug 27th. K - 2nd grades meet at 6:00 and 3rd - 5th grades will meet at 6:45. All groups will meet in the multipurpose room before dismissing to the classrooms. Teachers will discuss expectations and their agendas for the school year. This is a parent event, we ask that you come child free. PTO will also host a Parent Fair in the gymnasium and answer any questions you may have about volunteering. Hope to see everyone there!

Dismissal Procedures

• All students and families walking to/from school are encouraged to use the designated crosswalks for safe crossing on the streets. There should be no crossing the street outside of crosswalks.

• No dogs or pets allowed at arrival & dismissal on all school grounds except service animals.

• All persons (includes students and adults) will walk their scooters and bikes while on school grounds. No riding bikes and scooters on grounds are allowed in order to help reduce collisions and injuries. We will respect one another.

• There will be no pick up/drop off in the front parking lot. To increase the safety of all our students, parents/guardians picking up students by vehicle MUST use the circle drive and remain in the vehicles in single file. Parents/guardians are encouraged to have their students exit out of all vehicles on the right side. This will minimize students getting into moving traffic on the left of vehicles. Sunflower Elementary is dedicated to ensuring that all our students safely arrive and dismiss school safely every day.

• All bus, daycare van riders will be released through the north gym doors.

• All walkers will be released through the north-side door next to the Music room.

• If you would like to wait for your students outside of your vehicle, parents/guardians are encouraged to wait for their children at the north-side door to help reduce congestion at the main Sunflower entrance. The Sunflower circle drive is strictly only for PICK UP AND DROP OFF ONLY. There is NO PARKING. Please DO NOT LEAVE VEHICLES UNATTENDED.

• All Sunflower staff will be monitoring and engaged in the dismissal of students to ensure safety and respect for all inside and outside the school. If you would like to talk with a teacher, please consider another time to meet with him/her. We would like to respect the teachers’ and staffs’ dedication to ensuring the safety off all our students.

As we take the steps to implement these new dismissal guidelines, we are working together to ensure the safety of all our children and families. Together we’ll make this happen. We appreciate your part in helping to respect these guidelines and enhance the safety of your children. If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to contact us.
