In addition to assisting children in understanding and changing undesireable behavior, the Sunrise faculty believes that appropriate student behavior and choices deserve recognition. Children are recognized for their ability to adhere to school guidelines. F.F.O. members are actively involved in our school. Stories, poems, scripts, etc. are typed, bound and returned to the student. The Publishing Center is run totally by parent volunteers.
Classrooms alternate taking the responsibility of sorting and delivering the mail each day.
Student Council - Sunrise Drive encourages student government through its student council. Officers are chosen from the body of elected representatives. Students meet once a month with designated faculty advisors. The Sunrise Peer Mediation Program provides an opportunity for specially-trained third through fifth grade students chosen by their peers to use a specific problem solving process to help other students resolve playground disputes. When Peer Mediators see students having a dispute, they offer to help disputants solve their problems.
