Hello Raven Family!

We had a great first week of 2025 and look forward to another one! We did change the topic of this week's Parent Academy Session. On Tuesday evening we'll be welcoming all of our elementary parents (that choose to attend) to our ZOOM academy to talk all about Elementary Specials, logistics, what happens in classrooms, how they collaborate with each other and what the expectations are for curriculum, lessons, and grading. We hope you'll join us for that one to clear up some misinformation floating around social media. As always, we're here to answer any concerns you may have about anything at Sunlake and if you're getting those answers from the admin team, you know they're the right ones. Feel free to reach out at any time, my email address is always listed right here in this newsletter. 

the 2025-2026 Lottery runs on Wednesday the 15th. If you know of any friends and/or family who are interested in attending Sunlake Academy next year, please encourage them to submit their application by Tuesday night. After the lottery runs all new applicants will automatically be placed at the end of each respective grade level's waiting list. Also, anyone currently on the waiting list that is interested in attending must reapply for 2025-2026 as the current waiting list doesn't carry over with the new lottery results. Only those who've applied for 2025-2026 will receive either an invitation to enroll or a placement on the waiting list. 

On Friday, we have the K-2 Pirate Parade to celebrate Children's weekend at Gasparilla. We did make some changes to that event. It will run (essentially) the same way the October character parade runs. Students will line up with their class and parade through their own hallways and out to front walk. They'll come out of the second-grade hallways door on the AM carline and parade around to the PM carline door. You're welcome to come and watch - they may even have some beads to throw to you - the parade starts at 8:30 AM and will be over by 8:45 AM. Please do not arrive prior to 8:00 AM and we'll help you park your cars when parking runs out (which it will). The Pirate Parade will not involve any upper elementary or middle school students. 

Please see below for information to help you plan your week. We will see everyone tomorrow!

GO BUCS!

PM Carline ends at varying times every day. The carline ends when the last car is loaded. Students who have not been picked up at the time carline ends will be sent to emergency care until their ride arrives. Any student who is not loaded into their car by 3:40 PM may incur charges. This also holds true for tutoring, athletics, and afterschool clubs. Students are expected to have a ride waiting when those activities end. Teachers/Club sponsors/Coaches will send students without a ride to emergency care. A few things to keep in mind:

• You should plan to have a ride at the school for your child at dismissal time.
• Emergency care carries a $30 per student/per visit charge.
• Charges are incurred immediately when students are sent to emergency care.
• Emergency care can only be utilized three times over the course of the year.
• Charges are due immediately and will be posted to your MySchoolBucks.com account. 
• All charges must be paid first, before elective charges like jeans passes, school dances, field trips etc. 

If your student will be going home in a different way or with different people, please ensure you communicate with the teacher, the front office, and/or after-care, their off-campus after school program etc. by 2pm that day so we ensure we send your student gets to the right place.
