SISD is excited to announce that Emily Cook has been named assistant principal of Sunnyvale Intermediate School for the 2025-2026 school year. Her dedication, passion, and commitment to our students and staff make her the perfect fit for this role. Congratulations on your new role in SISD!

Attention, Raiders! For everyone’s safety, the SISD baseball, softball, and tennis areas will be closed until further notice as we complete work on our net systems. Please stay clear of the area while improvements are underway.

Additionally, work will soon begin to turf the Sunnyvale Middle School field. The SMS field will be closed during construction. This project is a partnership between SISD and the Town of Sunnyvale to benefit both our district and community youth.

Thank you for your support as we work to improve our facilities!
