Hello Sun Valley Families!


Our first full week of school is upon us!


We would like to thank all of our students, families and staff on a

successful opening week!


Our teachers will be diving heavy into content this week so please help

us reinforce expectations of keeping cell phones/ear buds away during

instructional time.


There are currently lots of clubs and activities getting started up so

please encourage your students to review their options and get involved!


Thank you for all you do to support our students as we prepare them for

life! If you have any questions or concerns please do not hesitate to

reach out!
