We are so excited to celebrate fall with our students and families! We invite you to join us for a fun afternoon filled with costumes, smiles, and fall festivities!

Here’s the plan for the day:

1:30 PM: Doors open for parents and visitors!

1:45 PM: Room parents may head down to their assigned classrooms to get ready for the parties.

Costume Parade: All other parents and visitors are invited to watch the parade from the designated area. Once the parade is over and students have returned to their classrooms, parents may head down to join the fun!

Fall Parties: After the parade, join your child’s classroom for an afternoon of fall fun and celebration!

Taking Your Kiddo Home After the Parties?

To help dismissal run smoothly and ensure all our kiddos get where they need to go, we kindly ask that parents complete the sign-out form before the day of the event if you plan to take your child home after the parties.

👉 Please sign out your child here: SIGN OUT FORM

Thank you for helping us make this a fun, safe, and smooth celebration for everyone! We can’t wait to see all those adorable costumes and celebrate with our school families!

Hello Sunflower Families!

It was so wonderful to see so many of you at parent-teacher conferences over the past couple of days! There were so many great conversations and positive things shared about your children. Thank you for taking the time to meet with our teachers and continue building the strong partnership between home and school. We truly appreciate your support and the great turnout!

A huge shout-out to our PTO and the families who provided dinner and snacks for our staff during conferences. These thoughtful gestures mean so much to our team, and we are incredibly grateful for the support and partnership we have here at Sunflower!

I hope you all enjoy a relaxing weekend with your families. We look forward to seeing everyone back at school on Monday!

Have a wonderful weekend!

Ryan Colston
Principal
