The 2019-20 Sunrise Yearbook can be pre-ordered for $15. The Sunrise PTO has been working with Sunrise teachers, staff, and Image Printing to create very colorful and fun memorabilia for our students. This year we have added some unexpected, but creative “COVID-19” distance learning memories, along with voting on our Sunrise Lion’s name and more! Please consider pre-ordering; this helps ensure your family gets a yearbook and provides the PTO an accurate number.

Choose one of 3 ways to pre-order the yearbook by May 29th:

1. Online - MyPayments Plus at https://www.mypaymentsplus.com/welcome

• Click on Events & Activities on top of the screen

You will then return to the previous screen. You can click on Checkout in the upper left corner, proceed to checkout, input payment information, and then pay for order. 

2. Sunrise School - Order forms are located in the entryway. You may fill out an order form, put in an envelope, and drop in the mailbox on the cart. The entryway is open from 8:00-3:00 Monday-Friday. 

3. Mail a check made payable to Sunrise PTO for $15. On the memo line please print clearly “yearbook and student’s name”.

 Yearbooks will be available for pick up in August during the Open House.

Masks are required. Cloth masks are recommended. Masks should be washed daily. Here is the CDC guidance on washing masks: https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/prevent-getting-sick/how-to-wash-cloth-face-coverings.html. BPS recommends all students in grades K-12 have a backpack with a padded compartment or a padded Neoprene sleeve (14 inch) to carry their Chromebook/laptop back and forth to school this year, if needed. We also suggest that students have their own earbuds or headphones that include the built-in microphone.

High Schools don't have school supply lists. On the first day, students should bring notebooks, pens, and pencils. Each teacher will tell the students if they need something specific for that class.
