Online Checkout and Curbside Library Book Pickup June 2nd - July 20th

We have some exciting news!  During Camp Edventure, any Sunrise student can checkout books from our Sunrise Library.  Here is how it will work:  

1. Your child will go online and log into the Sunrise Library Catalog and search for books that they are interested in reading.  
2. At least 1 day prior to pick up, your child can put a hold on up to 3 books.
3. Then the library assistant that will be working at Camp Edventure, will be able to see the books your child wants and will check them out for him/her, bag them and put their name on them.  
4. Then on Tuesdays and Fridays during lunch pickup, 12:00-1:00, your books will be waiting on a cart by the lunch pick up area.  There will also be a place to drop off your books when you are done reading them as well, so they can be checked back in.  
5. Then you can do it all over again.  

 Here is a Video on how to do this

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
• Click on Other – down arrow, then
• Click on Yearbook – Sunrise and then Add to Cart.

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”.
