Teachers, administrators and support staff have found creative ways to promote literacy. The Sunnyside District has an outstanding staff that is here to provide the best educational services for children. I am very happy to be at Sunnyside and look forward to meeting you in person, at our schools and in our community. Together, we must establish high expectations for our children. Parental involvement helps children understand that school activities are important and helps children feel successful.
Parental involvement is essential for improved student achievement.
In the 1999-2000 school year , the Sunnyside District established a reading initiative. A goal of that initiative is for every Sunnyside student and employee to read at least 25 books during the year. Through reading buddies, computer-assisted programs, family events, incentives and celebrations, every school is promoting the importance and the joy of reading. The community has joined us in our focus on literacy. The Sunnyside District is one of five nationwide to receive a Toyota Families in Schools family literacy grant.
