Principal's Message

Sunny Heights Families,

We have had a great return from winter break! Staff have been working with students to get back on the track to continued growth. Staff have been reviewing and discussing student assessment this week to inform instructional practice moving forward. Our goal is to support the growth of each and every student no matter where they are. If you are looking for more ways to support your child's success at school, reach out to their teacher for ideas or resources. Have a great weekend!

As always, thank you for all that you do!

Your proud principal,

Barton Lewis
