Welcome Back!
Welcome to our new Kindergarten students and students who are new to our school. We are very happy you joined our Sunalta community and look forward to getting to know you.
Teachers returned to school this week, and have been spending time engaged in professional learning, school start up activities, and ensuring the classrooms are ready for the return of students on Monday, August 31, 2026.
On the afternoon of Friday, August 28, 2026, at 2:00pm you will receive an email from your child’s class teacher for the 2026-2027 school year. This email will introduce the teacher, provide you with first day instructions for dropping off and picking up, and letting you know what they will need to bring with them. I am sure you can appreciate how busy the main school office is at this time, so please wait to receive this email before contacting the school for new teacher information. Thank you.
I would also ask you to be mindful about the thought and care that goes into placing your children in their classes for the 2026/27 school year. Towards the end of last school year, teachers spent a lot of time creating balanced classes for each grade and class. Careful thought goes into making sure they are placed with a few great learning partners in a classroom environment that will help them reach their full potential. Thanks for trusting us, as educational professionals, to place your children in the best classroom for the 2026/27 school year.
Please check out the school website for this year’s teacher assignments.
