VIII. Parents and Community Relations

The parents of Sunnyville are involved in their community and specifically education within their district.  Even though Sunnyville is fairly close to a major city, Sunnyville has more of a small town feel to it and therefore, has some of the same qualities and cultural that a rural community would have.  The parents make sure that their students attend school.  In addition they are involved in the educational process by making sure students do homework, attend parent meetings, volunteer for activities where parents are needed, etc. 

The school has a business partner program that allows them to participate with a local business throughout the year.  This business helps out the school by monetary donations, but also provides adults to help at dances, decorate for school events and volunteer in helping to run the school and creating a positive atmosphere for students.  Visitors to the school can see this business’ involvement through the banner that hung inside the front door of the school (recognizing the business partners) and also by the clothing that is worn by the volunteers from the community.  In addition, the businesses also make annual donations of school supplies for needy students that have their business logo printed on them.
