Message from the Principal
Dear Sunnyside School Families,
Thank you to everyone who volunteered, and to those who are still volunteering, at the casino fundraiser this weekend! Your time and support are greatly appreciated.
We have a very short week ahead as we prepare for Fall Break!
With just two instructional days, much of our attention will be on taking time to remember, reflect, and recognize the importance of peace and community.
Remembrance Day Assembly | November 10
On Tuesday, November 10, our school community will gather for our annual Remembrance Day assembly.
This is an important opportunity for students to learn about the significance of November 11, recognize the service and sacrifices of those who have served, and reflect on the importance of peace.
We are grateful to the families who contributed photographs, stories, letters, and personal connections to military service and peacekeeping.
These contributions help bring history to life for our students and remind us that remembrance is also about the people and families in our own communities.
Assembly Details
Date: Tuesday, November 10, 2026
Family Arrival Time: 10:30 AM
Assembly Start Time: 10:45 AM
Families are welcome to attend.
Fall Break | November 11–15
Fall Break begins Wednesday, November 11, with no classes for the remainder of the week.
Students return to school on Monday, November 16.
We hope the break provides an opportunity for families to slow down, spend time together, and enjoy a change of pace.
As the weather continues to shift, we also encourage everyone to spend some time outdoors when possible!
Parent-Teacher Conferences | November 26–27
November parent-teacher conferences provide an opportunity for families and teachers to connect, reflect on student learning and growth, and discuss plans for the months ahead.
These conferences are teacher-led and do not include students, allowing teachers and parents/caregivers to have open conversations about progress, areas for growth, and any supports or adjustments that may benefit each child.
This dedicated time together helps ensure that families and teachers share a common understanding of each child's learning needs and how best to support their continued growth.
