Communication

Continuity between home and the preschool is essential to providing a meaningful experience for your child and effective communication is key. Sonrise Christian Preschool uses the following communication methods.

Classroom Folders

Each child will have a folder that is sent home in the child’s tote weekly. It will contain artwork, projects, class calendars and preschool information. In addition, formal communications from the finance office and the preschool office will be placed in the file.

Newsletters & Notifications

Emergency texts and reminders of upcoming events will be sent through Brightwheel. They will also be posted on the private group Facebook page. This has proven to be especially useful when we’ve had weather alerts and were able to instantly update the parents about our status and the safety of the children. We also utilize electronic (email) communication. All Sonrise news, updates, events, reminders and photo notifications will be provided to the email address(es) you provide. This is a great solution for getting the information out to multiple parents/caregivers. Please make sure that the staff has your email address so that you will receive their emails. Class newsletters are sent via email.

Assessments

Teachers assess the children twice a year. They will communicate the results with you through email, phone calls and conferences. If you have concerns about your child’s progress,
please feel free to request and arrange a conference or phone call. If you call throughout the day, however, phone calls will not be transferred to the classrooms as staff are very busy taking care of your children. They will be given a message and will contact you as soon as they are able. Parents are required to attend at least one conference a year.
