In years past, Sunnyside students have had some time to play outside at arrival until the first bell rang. This year, students will instead come directly into the building upon arrival.
This is necessitated by how Nutrition Service regulations require that breakfast be served to students. Upon entering the building, students who want breakfast will first stop in the cafeteria to grab a breakfast and have the barcode tags that will be attached to their backpacks scanned, before then heading directly to class with their grab-and-go breakfast.
For the first several days, kindergarten classes will travel together to the cafeteria after the bell rings so that teachers can familiarize students with the layout of the building and breakfast procedures.
Parents are welcome to walk with their child to the cafeteria and/or the classroom during the first week of school. After that, we ask that parents plan to drop off outside the building so that students can build independence.
