Moonstruck Parents and Community Relations

Sunnyville continues to thrive despite the struggling national economy. Due to this fact, Sunnyside Unified School District has reaped the benefits over the past two decades. We continue to maintain six elementary schools, two middle schools, and one high school, while our athletics and related arts programs continue to succeed.

In return for providing everything we need to educate children, the community is demanding in its expectations of the level of education the students receive. The parents are very active in his/her child's education. They daily check Progress Book for updated grades, homework assignment, and related notes for that day's school work. Many of the parents attended workshops early in the year to help them understand their role in helping with homework. Our PTO is successful in its fundraisers, which has allowed our students to take field trips to various educational spots within our fine area.

We provide two career days for our elementary students during the school year. Volunteers from the community bring free samples and stories with them as they share his/her job with the students. We may have to go to three career days next year due to the number of adults interested in participating.
