Instead of the traditional Open House, Sunrise Elementary is trying something new this year. Open House has been changed to “Bring Your Parent to School Day”.
“Bring Your Parent to School Day” will occur on a minimum day, first thing in the morning at 8:15 am. Students and parents are invited visit to their classrooms and also view the art show in the multipurpose room from 8:15 am to 9:00 am. Then, parents will convene in the multipurpose at 9:00 am to 9:45 am for Coffee Talk and snacks.
