Below are some information about next week's extended care program, as well as a few reminders for families who are attending or interested in the Sunshine After School Program during the 2021-2022 School Year.

Thank you for your cooperation and staying updated with the Sunshine Newsletter!  

2021-2022 After School Attendance Survey
If you haven't already, please take the time to fill out this survey so that we can get a head start on classroom and transportation arrangements for the 2021-2022 school year. The survey is available here: 2021-2022 After School Program Survey

• Families who need transportation services for the school year must fill out the survey as spots for transportation are limited.

      • Please park at the small parking lot directly in front of the classrooms for easy drop offs and pick ups.

Does my child have to sign in and sign out when he/she comes to Sunshine?
In order to avoid any unnecessary contact between families and staff, our teachers will be signing students in and out everyday. Please sign the Sign-in/Sign-out Authorization Form and bring it to Sunshine on your child's first day, or email the completed form to sherry@mysunshineschool.com. Sunshine families who have already submitted a form, do not need to resubmit another form for Summer.          

What should my child bring to Sunshine?

• A FACEMASK (and a spare if needed) everyday. All students are required to wear a facemask that covers their mouth and nose while at Sunshine. Exceptions are only for students with a medical condition, mental health condition, or disability that prevents wearing a face covering.
• Bring SUNBLOCK (labeled with your child's name) everyday. 
• A REUSABLE WATER BOTTLE every day.
• 2 CUPS AND 2 BOWLS (labeled with your child's name) for snack and lunch time everyday. Sunshine wants to go green! Help us in our efforts to become less wasteful!
• In addition to these items, Kindergarten students will need to bring ONE CHANGE OF CLOTHES (if needed)

What is the lunch menu?

Lunch Menu: (fresh cut fruit and milk will be served daily)

• Monday: Chicken nuggets, carrots, and broccoli
• Tuesday: Chicken and egg fried rice
• Wednesday: Spaghetti with sliced hotdogs
• Thursday: Pizza
• Friday: Beef stew with rice

*Unfortunately, Sunshine School does not provide a special menu to children with special diets. If your child is not able to eat certain foods or is allergic, it is a safer option for those children to bring their own snack and lunches to school.

Who should I ask if I have questions, comments, or suggestions?
Please call the Sunshine School Office at (408) 839-8366. You can also email us at sherry@mysunshineschool.com. 

• For new and returning families, please take the time to fill out our Health Screening Questionaire before your child's first day at the Program
• Parents please alert our staff of any ALLERGIES (food or medicine) when you drop off your child on their first day of the program.

Happy birthday to all our August babies. Wish your teachers a wonderful birthday when you see them this month!
