Greetings Sunshine Family,

This is your Week 3 Newsletter for the Sunshine Summer Program!

We are super excited for Week 3: Disney! For this week, students will be exploring the magical world of Disney and create wonderful crafts and projects inspired by Disney and Marvel! Below you will find some reminders and information to help your week go by smoothly!

Be sure to bookmark our Summer 2023 Gallery for photos throughout the summer program! 

Thank you for your cooperation and staying updated with the Sunshine School newsletter!

• This past week, our students made French Crepes, Australian Boomerangs, designed Hawaiin inspired crafts, dressed up for Heritage/Culture Day and more! Please check out the Summer 2023 Gallery for more photos!

• For this week's school event, students will be watching a Disney Film on Friday, June 30th and enjoying an ice cream party on campus! Please make sure your child arrives on campus by 9:30am on this day.

• For this school event, please remember to pack a lunch for your child and have students wear their Sunshine t-shirt. Students who do not wear their Sunshine t-shirt or pack a lunch will not be allowed to attend the field trip/school event. 

• Field Trip & Event Policy - If a student misbehaves during their field trip or school event, he or she is not allowed to attend the next week's field trip or school event as a consequence.

The third week's Spirit Day is on Thursday, June 29th! Celebrate Disney Day by wearing something Disney, Marvel, or Star Wars. 

Which class should my child go to? 
Sunshine Summer Camp assigns the kids into different age groups according to the grade that he or she is entering in Fall 2023. You may view the roster for Week 3 here: Week 3 Summer Roster
                                 

Where do I drop off my children in the morning?
Parents may drop their children off directly in the appropriate classroom.

• Kindergarten classroom will be at the Turlock Location (1363 Turlock Lane). Please ring the bell at the front of the gate for drops offs and pick ups.
• Classrooms for 1st Graders & up will be located next door at the Ruskin Campus (1401 Turlock Lane). Please park at the small parking lot directly in front of the classrooms and ring the bell at the gate for drop offs and pick ups.

Does my child have to sign in and sign out when he/she comes to Sunshine?
In order to avoid any unnecessary contact between families and staff, our teachers will be signing students in and out everyday. Please sign the Sign-in/Sign-out Authorization Form and bring it to Sunshine on your child's first day, or email the completed form to sherry@mysunshineschool.com. Sunshine families who have already submitted a form, do not need to resubmit another form. 

What are the hours and tuition for Summer Camp?

What should my child bring to Summer Camp?

• Bring SUNBLOCK (labeled with your child's name) everyday. 
• A REUSABLE WATER BOTTLE every day.
• 2 CUPS AND 2 BOWLS (labeled with your child's name) for breakfast, lunch, and snack time everyday. Sunshine wants to go green! Help us in our efforts to become less wasteful!
• Bring a BAGGED LUNCH (on field trip and school event days).
• In addition to these items, Kindergarten students will need to bring ONE CHANGE OF CLOTHES to keep at Sunshine in their cubby.

What if my child misses one or two extracurricular classes due to sickness or vacation?
Unfortunately, we cannot offer refunds, transfer of tuition or make up classes for missed classes due to any type of absence. Regular attendance is encouraged for all students enrolled in extracurricular classes.

How do I stay updated with news in the Sunshine Summer Program?
Sunshine School will broadcast frequent newsletters to keep parents updated. Please let your classroom teacher know if you are not able to receive our newsletter. We will also provide announcements and reminders on various white boards that will be posted in front of Sunshine classrooms. Don't forget to take a look at the white board for daily news when you pick up your child!

Is there an additional fee for the field trips?
There are absolutely no additional fees required for students who are enrolled in the full-time program. If your child is a part time student and is interested in participating in any of our field trips/school events, please contact our offices to check for availability. For every field trip and school event day, all students will need to bring a bagged lunch and wear their Sunshine T-shirt.

Who should I ask if I have questions, comments, or suggestions?
Please call the Sunshine School Office at (408) 839-8366. You can also email us at sherry@mysunshineschool.com.
