Principal's Message

Sunny Heights Families,

It has been a great week back at school this week! Students and staff have been working hard from the start, practicing routines, reviewing procedures, and jumping right back into our curriculum. Students have began our Mid-Year NWEA testing at all grade levels. The NWEA assessment is one way that we measure student growth during the year. The test provides us important data to help meet the individual academic needs of our students. Parents can help by asking students how their testing went and encouraging students to do their best!

We hope everyone had a great holiday break and we are excited about what 2019 will bring here at Sunny Heights Elementary!

Your proud principal,

Barton Lewis

A NOTE FROM NURSE ROBERTA

Flu season is here. Your child's health is very important. Sometimes it's hard to tell if your child has the flu. Common symptoms include coughing, fever and chills. A fever can increase in just a few hours to very high levels. If your child is sick it is very important to keep them hydrated. Some examples include: water, Popsicles, juice, Pedialyte and Gatorade. Children, elderly and anyone who has chronic conditions (asthma, diabetes, heart disease) are more at risk from the flu. Flu can go into pneumonia which can be very dangerous. A child does not have to look sick to be sick. I am here as a resource for you. If you have questions or concerns, please give me a call at 317-532-2903.

CLASSROOM VISITS

In an effort to keep all children safe, anyone wanting to visit the classroom, have lunch with a child, and/or go on field trips must come to the school office to complete a background check. Please bring ID at that time. Visits are limited to 15 min. throughout the day. During those 15 min., parents are not able to talk with teachers. We do not want to interrupt class time. If you would like to meet with the teacher, schedule a meeting with the teacher prior to your visiting the school.

PTA

It is never to late to join our PTA. Joining the PTA allows you and your family to meet some great people. PTA functions are opportunities to meet other parents and teachers, to build a rapport and discuss issues that are on your mind. $7.00 is all it takes to become a member. Please ask your child's teacher for more information.
