SCC VOTING NOW-5/18

The School Community Council voting began on Wednesday 5/4/22 and will continue until the end of the school day on 5/18/22. Candidates will be notified once all votes have been tallied. Please take the time to fill out a ballot if you come into the office- we appreciate it!

Pedestrian Safety

As the weather improves, we see more students walking and biking to school, Canyons District asks students, parents, and patrons to be extra vigilant around road construction sites and be on the lookout for young children crossing busy streets and negotiating traffic. Pedestrian safety is a shared responsibility. Please take a few minutes to discuss these safety tips at home with your families.

• Pedestrians should stick to sidewalks when possible and walk facing traffic. Before crossing the street or train tracks, even at a crosswalk or designated area, stop and look left and right.
• When biking or skateboarding to school, children should wear a helmet and understand traffic rules. They should come to a complete stop at crosswalks and walk their bike or skateboard across. Bikes and skateboards are not safe for use on train station platforms.
• Never dart out in front of a parked car.
• Avoid distractions. Do not bike, drive a motor vehicle, or cross a busy area while texting, talking on the phone or using headphones.
• Obey all traffic signals and signs, and never go around a lowered gate at railroad crossings.
• At train crossings: If lights are flashing or the gate is down, wait for the train to pass completely, the gates to lift and the lights to stop flashing before crossing. It is never okay to rush across and try to beat the train. Trains may be closer and faster than you think.
• Don’t be tempted to walk along the train tracks. It is dangerous and against the law to walk on the track and the land around it because it is private property.
• Drivers must always yield to pedestrians and should take extra care in school zones and at crosswalks.
• It is illegal to pass a bus that is loading or unloading children. Keep in mind that school buses make frequent stops and must stop at all train crossings.

Lost & Found

Our lost and found is overflowing! Please have your students check there is they are missing any items. ALL items left after the last day of school will be donated.

Learning Environment Request Forms

This is the last 3 days we will be accepting Learning Environment request forms. If you want to submit one for your student, it must be received by the office no later than May 11th at the end of the school day.

Thank You, PTA

We’d like to thank PTA and its volunteers for the incredible effort they put in for our teachers and staff here at Sunrise. Last week our faculty was treated with many things to celebrate them for teacher appreciation week. Please know that every detail was appreciated and the time spent on our behalf is VERY appreciated. Thank you!

PTA FUN RUN

The PTA Fun Run was held at Alta High School this past Saturday and I think our PTA and the volunteers are still recovering from all of the work they put into it on that day and the days leading up to it! We will be sharing the grand totals as soon as we can!

KEEP Assessment scheduling window closing

The window for parents to go in and schedule end-of-the-year KEEP testing for their kindergarten students will be closing on May 13th at 5pm, so if you have not already scheduled your testing, please go to your Skyward Family Access and do that as soon as possible.  Thanks!
