Welcome back to school! It is exciting to be back in person. Below is some important PTA information!
Join your Sunnyside PTA
The Sunnyside PTA supports all students at our school. This organization is dependent on the membership and involvement of families, teachers and staff. Please become a PTA member. The cost is $15 per year, and you can renew or become a new member in our PTA Store. See more about why to become a PTA Member.
Stay Connected with Social Media
Stay connected and informed by following our social media accounts.
Private Facebook Group
Great way to communicate and connect with other families in our Sunnyside community. For security reasons, you must answer the questions and agree to the group rules to be accepted.
Student Directory
For playdates, study groups or birthday parties, the student directory is a great way to get in contact with other families at Sunnyside. Make sure you enter your child’s name into the directory to make it easier for others to find you.
First time setup instructions
To sign up for the directory go to the Join Page. We require a sign up key for security. If you do not have one, please email sunnysidepta@gmail.com
Important: After you sign up, you will need to wait for an approval email. The website requires us to approval all requests to avoid spammers or other people who are not part of our school community from getting access to our student directory.
Enter your child’s name
After you enter your information, scroll down to the bottom of the page to add your children’s names. When you select Role as Child, then email address is not required. Entering your child’s name helps other students and families find you in the directory.
Returning User
If you signed up for the student directory in the last 2 years, you only need to update your information. If you have forgotten your password, you can reset your password on the login page
Fundraising
Over the past year and a half, the PTA has been limited in what we can do to earn money to support our school. However, there are a few easy ways to help the passively fundraise. Sign up for Amazon Smile and Fred Meyer Community Rewards. Redeem codes on Coke products, and scan receipts for Box Tops. If you shop at Office Depot/Office Max, enter our school code to earn money for Sunnyside. See our fundraising page for information on how to sign up and use these passive fundraisers.
Gear Store
Purchase Sunnyside gear. There are hoodies, woman’s tees, long sleeve shirts, masks, and more available. Several colors and styles available. Check it out. All profits are used to support the Sunnyside Elementary PTA.
Sign up for Peach Jar
Peach Jar is the district’s electronic flyer system. The PTA posts flyers on this. After you sign up, you will receive emails with electronic flyers. You can adjust the frequency of the emails and also view all of the school and district flyers on their website.
Volunteering
At this time, in-person volunteering is not possible. However, it is a good idea to sign up as a volunteer anyway. That way when it is possible for volunteers to return to the school, you will be ready. Complete the district’s online application.
