What is Special About Our School?
Sunnycrest Elementary School is a place where “every student is someone special.” The school’s educational goal is to make learning so exciting that students will experience the joy of discovering new ideas and building new skills. A community of learners has been created because of this love of learning throughout the school.
Sunnycrest’s continuous learning calendar provides students more time to reach their academic potential by providing shorter, more frequent breaks than does the traditional school calendar. Students attend school an additional 15 days through a transportation-provided and no-cost Intersession program.
Students and staff grow and learn from the richly diverse student population that attends Sunnycrest. Students’ unique needs are met by providing a variety of learning opportunities throughout the school day and school year. Parents and community members are encouraged to become a part of the educational planning process by volunteering their time in a wide range of activities.
Sunnycrest parents are encouraged to join and support a very active PTA. This year’s annual PTA carnival was a huge success.
Sunnycrest students are required to wear uniforms.
No Child Left Behind Report Card
The No Child Left Behind Act requires all schools and school districts in the United States to prepare annual reports for parents and the public detailing their academic achievement. The State Superintendent of Public Instruction’s web site makes this information available on-line. Find your school’s report card on-line at http://reportcard.ospi.k12.wa.us/ Click on Federal Way in the “Summary” box, then choose your school from the list. You may also request a paper copy of the report card at your school’s office. For more information about the NCLB Act, go to http://www.nclb.gov/index.html.
